Hello and welcome! I’m Rajmahendra—born and raised in Chennai, with native roots in Udupi. I come from a semi-orthodox religious family, but I’ve always been a rationalist at heart. Professionally, I’m a software engineer-Java developer and then Agile Coach. I started as a developer and eventually moved into coaching product and teams on how to be agile. While coaching companies and teams, people began turning to me as a life coach too! Want to know more? Just poke me with questions—I might have an answer. 

Before TWIM (Tranquil Wisdom Insight Meditation)

During the COVID lockdown—I’m not sure how it changed others, but for me, it made me question my beliefs to the core. That period gave me time to reflect deeply and explore various spiritual paths.

Later, my quest returned to the Darshanas. In my personal library, I have at least one book from each Darshana. I studied Raja Yoga and completed 700 hours of training from three different schools. In my send-off talk, my teacher said, This guy came for Raja Yoga but left with a yoga certificate and allied extra knowledge of Vedanta.

Who said knowledge has boundaries? Hmm.

TWIM Introduction

My introduction to TWIM  came through Dhamma Sukha USA. While browsing YouTube to learn more about Buddhism, I discovered Bhante Vimalaramsi’s talks. One story touched me deeply—about an elderly woman afraid of death. Bhante advised her to help animals: buy a bird, take it far from the city, and release it with loving-kindness. After doing this regularly, she returned saying, “Now I’m happy and no longer afraid of death.” That story stayed with me, though I didn’t know there was an Indian branch of Dhamma Sukha at the time.

Present Day TWIM

Two years ago, I stumbled upon Dhamma Sukha India and saw Bhante’s photo there too. I don’t believe in fate, but somehow life brought me back. In early 2025, I joined two online retreats, which convinced me to take up TWIM as my personal practice. After attending residential retreats, I now feel TWIM is my path.

The Buddha’s teachings answer most of my questions. I say “most,” not “all”—because as the Buddha said, “Appa Deepo Bhava” (Be a light unto yourself). I still have questions, but I’m deeply convinced of the Dhamma.

Why Teaching?

“Bahujana-hitāya bahujana-sukhāya” – For the welfare of the many, for the happiness of the many. – Buddha
“Atmano Mokshartham Jagat Hitaya Cha” – For one’s own salvation and for the welfare of the world. – Swami Vivekananda

Reading books gives theoretical knowledge. Sadhana gives personal experience. When both come together and are shared, society benefits. And when someone questions your beliefs, it’s a chance to sharpen your understanding.

I love to bring all three—study, practice, and sharing—into action. The only way to do that is to teach others. I enjoy meeting new people, hearing their views, and learning through their life challenges.

So I’m not here just to teach—I’m here to learn and grow together. Feel free to connect with me. Let’s have meaningful conversations about Dhamma and practice.
