Amazing! Abhay Singh, an IIT Graduate Becomes a Saint | The Impact of Depression and Traumatic Past

 By Aryan Rana, Founder, VRightpath

Abhey Singh, a former aerospace engineer from IIT Bombay, has become a  popular figure at Prayagraj's Maha Kumbh Mela. In a world where academic excellence is often equated with success, his journey offers a refreshing perspective. Known popularly as Engineer Baba or IIT Baba, Singh, a graduate of aerospace engineering from the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay, chose an unconventional path of spirituality over the allure of science and technology.  

After graduating from IIT and earning a Master’s in Design, he worked with top companies in Delhi and Canada, earning a salary of ₹3 lakh per month. Despite his success, he struggled with depression and sought a deeper purpose, leading him to embrace spirituality. Returning to India, he traveled to spiritual hubs like Manali, Shimla, and Haridwar, eventually joining the Shri Panchdashnam Juna Akhara and leaving behind his high-paying aerospace engineering career.

His life demonstrates how education and spirituality can complement each other. However, Abhey's childhood was marked by domestic violence and family conflicts, deeply impacting his mental growth and perspective

From Science to Spirituality

Abhey Singh’s story challenges the stereotype that saints lack intellectual depth or significant achievements. As he puts it, “Science helps explain the physical world, but its deeper study inevitably leads one toward spirituality. A true understanding of life ultimately brings us closer to spirituality.”

The IITian Baba’s words underscore a profound truth: the pursuit of knowledge—scientific or spiritual—is ultimately a quest to unravel the mysteries of existence. For Singh, transitioning from aerospace engineering to spirituality was not a rejection of science but an embrace of a broader perspective on life and its purpose.

The Impact of a Traumatic Past

Abhey Singh’s journey was profoundly shaped by a turbulent childhood marked by domestic violence and family conflict. Although not directly targeted, witnessing frequent fights between his parents left lasting scars. “As a child, you don’t understand what’s happening, nor do you know how to react. Your mind isn’t developed enough. You’re just helpless,” he shared in an interview.

Seeking solace amidst chaos, young Abhey often retreated into solitude, finding comfort in the quiet hours of the night. Immersing himself in studies not only honed his academic brilliance but also instilled a deep appreciation for inner peace—a theme that would later define his spiritual journey.


The Role of Karma and Family Conflicts

Abhey Singh’s story highlights how unresolved family conflicts and traumatic experiences create “karma gaps.” These gaps manifest as emotional baggage, unresolved pain, and inner turmoil, often perpetuating cycles of suffering.

Singh’s aversion to traditional family structures stemmed from his childhood experiences. “Why get married and face the same fights and conflicts that I saw in my childhood? It’s better to live alone and have a peaceful life,” he remarked.

Unresolved family conflicts can ripple through generations, creating spiritual and emotional misalignments. Recognizing and addressing these gaps is essential to achieving inner harmony and breaking free from cycles of suffering.

The Importance of Resolving Family Issues

Parents must address their conflicts in a manner that protects their children’s emotional well-being. A harmonious family environment is crucial for nurturing confident, balanced, and spiritually aligned individuals. Young, impressionable minds absorb the energy of their surroundings, and unresolved disputes can leave deep scars that persist into adulthood.

Educating About Sanatan Dharma

Throughout history, humanity has endured conflicts, violence, and a lack of compassion. Many modern religions struggle to unify humanity in kindness and mindfulness. Sanatan Dharma, however, offers ancient wisdom that embraces all living beings—humans, animals, birds, and nature itself—fostering balance and harmony. The four pillars of life—Dharma (righteousness), Artha (prosperity), Kama (pleasure), and Moksha (liberation)—guide individuals to live in alignment with universal laws, balancing material desires with spiritual growth, leading to a life of peace, compassion, and ultimate liberation.


The teachings of Sanatan Dharma provide a blueprint for living in alignment with universal laws, emphasizing peace, compassion, and coexistence. Early education on these principles can help individuals lead a more harmonious life while contributing to a kinder, more sustainable world.

My Mission to Bridge Karma Gaps

Like Abhey Singh, I too have faced the struggles of domestic conflicts in a financially and emotionally challenging environment. Spirituality became my anchor, helping me overcome extraordinary problems and achieve personal growth. Today, I am on a mission to bridge karma gaps and provide holistic solutions for improving personal, professional, financial, and spiritual well-being.

Spiritual Solutions to Karma Gaps

Spirituality offers profound solutions to bridge karma gaps and achieve inner peace. Abhey Singh’s life is a testament to the transformative power of spiritual practices. Key lessons from his journey include:

Self-Reflection: Regular introspection helps identify unresolved issues and emotional triggers, paving the way for healing.

Forgiveness: Releasing resentment toward others—or oneself—frees the spirit from karmic burdens.

Meditation and Solitude: Practices like meditation foster clarity and inner peace, as seen in Singh’s preference for solitude.

Service to Others: Selfless service is a powerful tool for spiritual growth and healing. Singh exemplifies this through his guidance and teachings.

Detachment: Letting go of attachments that cause suffering is crucial. Singh’s decision to forgo marriage reflects this principle of spiritual detachment.

In addition to  these VRIGHTPATH Solution provides a action oriented comprehensive approach to addressing karma gaps and improving personal, professional, financial and spiritual well-being. 

A Message for All

Abhey Singh’s journey from IIT to the Maha Kumbh Mela reminds us that success lies not in societal definitions but in aligning one’s life with higher purposes. His life is proof that education and spirituality are not opposing forces but complementary paths to deeper understanding and harmony.

Time changes everything, and the master of time is Shiva. With time and spiritual practice, even the deepest karma gaps can be bridged, leading to a life of peace, purpose, and profound joy.

Jai Mahakaal! Jai Sri Ram!

Respect Sanatan Culture: 10 Things Every Sanatani Must Know

  By   VRight Path ॐ गं गणपतये नमः In today’s fast-paced and globalized world, it's easy to unknowingly adopt words, habits, and concepts that may contradict the values of our timeless Sanatan Dharma. It’s important for every follower of this ancient tradition to understand and preserve the depth and dignity of our culture. Here are some essential points that every Sanatani should know and remember: 1. Say “Bhagwan Ram” or “Bhagwan Krishna” – Not “Lord” Ask yourself: Were Bhagwan Ram or Bhagwan Krishna ever members of England’s “House of Lords”? Then why use the title “Lord”? The English term does not carry the same spiritual reverence as the word “Bhagwan,” which signifies divinity and supreme consciousness in Sanatan Dharma. Let’s use our own respectful expressions:  Bhagwan Shri Ram ,  Bhagwan Shri  Krishna . 2. Avoid Saying “RIP” The phrase  Rest In Peace (RIP)  originates from burial customs and assumes the soul rests at one place. ...

Are Muslims Descendants of Lord Ram and Krishna? A Historical and Sanatan Perspective

  By   VRight Path Introduction The question of shared ancestry between Muslims and the ancient figures of Sanatan Dharma—such as Lord Shri Ram and Lord Shri Krishna —touches upon deep historical, spiritual, and genealogical currents in Indian civilization. While Islam as a religion was founded in the 7th century CE, the roots of Sanatan Dharma go back many thousands of years, based on scriptural and traditional timelines. In this article let’s explore whether Muslims may have ancestral ties to Lord Shri Ram and Shri Ram Krishna through historical conversions, and how various ancient Indian calendars— Shrishti Samvat , Saptarishi Samvat , and Kali Yuga —establish the antiquity of Sanatan Dharma far before Islam’s origin.

The Srishti Samvat: Oldest and Divine Calendar Based on Creation

B y Aryan Rana, Founder    VRIGHTPATH  Modern science emerged only a few centuries ago, while ancient Indian knowledge about the universe, time, and creation has been passed down through millennia. This raises an intriguing question: how do the profound insights found in ancient Indian texts and calendars, particularly the Srishti Samvat, align with or even challenge the discoveries of modern science?  The Srishti Samvat, a divine calendar based on the cosmic cycles of creation, presents a unique perspective on time that transcends the linear approach of modern scientific thinking, offering a more holistic, cyclical understanding of the universe and our place within it. Origins and History The Srishti Samvat stands as a unique and sacred calendar, deeply rooted in the ancient Vedic teachings of India. The term "Srishti" refers to creation, and Samvat refers to a system of years. Together, they form the “ divine calendar of creation ,” a framework believed to be div...
