Growing up in Mumbai as a son of a Bollywood actor and a businessman Dipankar experienced a need to follow an inner voice that was urging him to embrace a spiritual change. He began his new avataara first as a sadhaka at the Yoga Institute and then as a monk in the Karma Kagyupt sect of Tibetan Buddhism. He was inspired by parallels between Tibetan Buddhist practices, Yoga Psychology and NLP.
