Rupesh Kumar Jha: From UGC NET Achiever to Gurukul Teacher

Rupesh Kumar Jha, a man who passed the UGC NET exam seven times and secured three government jobs, made a life-changing decision to follow his spiritual calling.

Instead of continuing his successful career, he became an Acharya at Lakshmipati Gurukul in Madhubani, Bihar, where he now teaches Sanskrit to over 125 children.

He aims to establish 108 Gurukuls across Bihar, spreading the teachings of Sanatan Dharma. Jha, accompanied by his disciples, has arrived at the Mahakumbh, continuing his journey of spiritual growth and inspiring others to embrace education rooted in traditional values.

Abhay Singh: From IIT Aerospace Engineer to Monkhood

Abhay Singh Known as ‘IIT Baba,’ left behind a promising career in aerospace engineering after completing his studies at IIT Bombay. Despite his academic success, Singh’s growing interest in philosophy and spirituality led him to transform his life. 

Now known as Masani Gorakh or Raghav, Singh has dedicated his life to Lord Shiva and taken up the life of a monk. His story of leaving behind material success for spiritual fulfillment has struck a chord with many attendees at the Mahakumbh Mela 2025, inspiring them to seek deeper meaning in life beyond professional achievements.
