“Getting my music album released in 2006 was the biggest dream come true (Check out the music video – https://bit.ly/300OLMT). I even got selected as ‘MTV Super Select Artist of the Week’. However, life had some other plans for me. Just 4 days after my album was released, I rushed to Delhi as my 5 year old son met with an accident and broke his thigh bone. When he recovered, my mom fell ill and I lost her in few months. Life came to a standstill as I was unable to cope with the loss. I quit my music career as I was least interested to sing or compose. It was during this time that I took abode in spirituality and meditation,” explained Pankaj.

It was all due to meditation that he learned the art of controlling his thoughts and that changed his life. Pankaj said, “Peace begins from within, if you are not peaceful inside, the world you see will be chaotic. I started meditating so my mind could not complicate my life. Now, I’m a changed man with confidence, clarity, focus and an excellent sixth sense.”

Today, Pankaj along with his wife Suchita owns one of the biggest travel companies in India. He has also started singing and composing music and oh, he has found his long lost love – cooking due to his new food venture.

Stop trying to calm the storm. Calm yourself and the storm will pass. Try meditating sometime and we are sure you will have the power to #RiseLikeAPhoenix from all your past struggles and failures. Feel the feeling but don’t become the emotion. Witness it. Allow it. Release it.
