How I Got Here
How I Got Here
I did not start here.
My first professional life was in the IT field — building, running, entrepreneuring. But through all of it, one thing never left me. A deep, quiet love for painting. A pull toward art that I had pushed aside to pursue business.
At some point, I decided I could not push it aside any longer.
I went back to art. Formally. I completed my Bachelor of Fine Arts — and it felt like coming home.
But it was one word that changed everything.
Mandala.
Something about that word — the sound of it, the shape of it, what it seemed to hold — made me deeply curious. I began to learn about it. What it was. Where it came from. What it meant. And the more I learned, the more I was pulled in.
That curiosity led me to study Mandala Art alongside ancient science — the patterns found in nature, ancient temples, and Vedic knowledge — as a complete art form. Not just as something to draw, but as something to understand at its roots.
And then something unexpected happened.
When I practised it — really practised it — I entered a completely different zone of mind. Still. Clear. Calm. The kind of stillness I had never found anywhere else.
That experience told me something. This art was not just beautiful. It was therapeutic.
That realisation led me to study Art Therapy — formally, from a renowned international university.
This knowledge — the art, the ancient science, the therapy — needed to be shared. Not kept to myself.
So I founded Varaaz Arts — to teach this art form in its most authentic form.
And then something happened that sealed my purpose completely.
I began to see what this art could do for people who were struggling. People facing real, difficult challenges — physically, emotionally, mentally. I used Mandala Art as a supportive therapy alongside their care. And the results I witnessed — the shifts, the calm, the healing — showed me something I will never forget.
"This art has a purpose. And so do I."
I feel deeply blessed to have found it. And everything I do at Varaaz Arts is driven by one desire — to share this purpose with as many people as I can.
