"Some stay away from their near ones, to fulfill their dreams. While some stay away from their dreams, to stay close to their near ones."

A humble middle class boy, to an engineer and finally finding his calling to spirituality, the story of Gaur Gopal Das is a meditative walk of penance.

This is the story of a human being who fought for his love no matter what stood his way. A tech savvy mind, he likes to be a friend first and then a monk.

Here he opens up like never before on love, relationships and the sacrifices to attain a spiritually inclined life and objective.

The power of sharing vulnerable stories, his fair share of duties and responsibilities towards his parents and why love driven service to humankind should be our only virtue, is what this conversation is gonna teach you.

Get ready for an immersive experience, cause this monk and his extraordinary feat is surely going to leave you connected and yet unattached to the everyday walks of life.

About Humans of Bombay:

Humans of Bombay is a movement that started 8 years ago. We believe that every person has a story to tell and we want to help them tell these stories. In these years we’ve published stories across genres – stories of love, hope, faith and courage. And through our storytelling, we’ve built an engaged community of over 4.5M!

Our idea is simple – to strike a chord with our community and catalog the beat of humanity, one story at a time.
