Ph.D.

Ganesh is an engineer by profession. He received a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Georgia Tech in 2001. Ganesh's passion is the study and dissemination of the subtle aspects of yoga found in the yogic scriptures written several hundreds to several thousands of years ago.
Ganesh believes in the mind setting power of these texts which are written from a meditative state of mind. He maintains a website called Yoga Sukshma (www.yogasukshma.com) where he writes extensively about the subtle aspects of yoga from the scriptures and teaches yoga sutras, the Bhagavad Gita and other scriptural texts to people around the world in a traditional format with the sanskrit chant and meaning, but in a way modern day people can relate to. His goal is to help people understand the more fulfilling, healing and refined aspects of yoga enunciated in these ancient texts. He loves to disseminate the information this information in these texts and has personally witnessed the mind settling effects of the information in these texts when he was suffering from severe pain from a arthritic hip which subsequently needed hip joint replacement.
