Summary
It has been almost 30 years since I have continuously studied the Sanskrit language and the immense knowledge within it. It has been 15 years since the comparative study of Eastern and Western philosophies. The study of human physiology, psychology, consciousness, spirituality, and the subtle and inner world of human beings is very interesting and I like to do research in this field.
