IIT Bombay topper became an ascetic in search of truth
Abhay Singh, who is now known as Masani Gorakh, made a bold and unconventional decision to leave behind his successful academic and professional life in order to pursue spiritual enlightenment. This decision has garnered significant attention, especially considering his background as an IIT Bombay graduate, where he completed his degree in Aerospace Engineering.
Before embracing the ascetic lifestyle, Abhay had explored a variety of career paths. After finishing his engineering degree, he went on to pursue a Master’s in Photography and Design. He also taught physics to students, and his academic versatility reflected his wide-ranging interests. However, despite these professional achievements, he felt a growing need to seek deeper meaning and purpose in life, which led him towards spirituality.
Abhay credits his journey toward spirituality to his quest for understanding his true self and the divine essence of life. He studied the works of renowned philosophers, including Plato, and came to the realization that true knowledge is not just academic but spiritual in nature. He believes that the peace and wisdom he sought could only be found through inner exploration and spiritual practices, not in the material world.
His transformation into Masani Gorakh and his presence at the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj has attracted many curious eyes, with people viewing him as an inspiring example of someone who left the comfort and recognition of a successful career to follow a higher calling. His story is one of deep introspection and a quest for mental and spiritual peace, resonating with many who are seeking a deeper understanding of life beyond the physical realm.
