Abhay Singh, popularly known as ‘Masani Gorakh Baba’, who hails from Jhajjar district of Haryana, obtained a degree in Aerospace Engineering from IIT Bombay and decided to leave a successful career and pursue a spiritual life.
trying to find the meaning of life
Abhay Singh says that he has deeply studied philosophy and the works of great philosophers such as Socrates and Plato to search for the meaning of his life. In an interview to News 18, he said, “Now I understand the real knowledge. If you want to understand the mind and mental health, you can do it through spirituality.”
Masani Gorakh Baba, an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva, says, “Now I am enjoying spirituality. I understand spirituality through science. Everything is Shiva. Truth is Shiva and Shiva is beautiful.” He has nearly 29,000 followers on Instagram, where he shares posts based on meditation, yoga, and ancient sutras.
discussions on social media
What makes Masani Gorakh Baba the center of attraction is the fact that he left his IIT degree and career and chose a new spiritual path. There is a discussion on social media that after being cheated in love, Abhay Singh left worldly attachments and took refuge in God.
