These faiths have formed a large part of his upbringing. He is a long time student of Pandit Rajmani Tigunait, spiritual head of the Himalayan Institute.

He is a barrister by profession specialising in human rights from chambers in London. He is also a humanitarian and environmentalist. He founded Worcestershire’s first Indian vegetarian restaurant with his family, of which he is very proud.
