In 2009 Dr Shankar founded The Academy of Absolute Understanding in his quest to spread this understanding that happened to him. In this academy, he does not advocate any workshop nor set a programme of do’s and don’ts for the simple reason that man, as he advocates, is not the doer. This refers to the wisdom of Adi Shankaracharya: "Man is not the doer, speaker or thinker" (in: "Nirvaana Shatakam" - "poem of eight verses of what is nirvana").

 

Dr Vijai S Shankar

“Life makes the mind happen”

Dr Vijai S Shankar was born in the late 1940’s. He was educated at St. Bede’s High School, Loyola College in Chennai, J.N. Medical College, Belgaum, in India. He practised medicine in Kano, Nigeria, West Africa for five years. He later travelled to England where his research into cellular and molecular sciences earned him a PhD summa cum laude at St.George’s Medical School, Tooting, London. He later crossed the Atlantic to continue his research in U.T.M.B.Galveston, Texas, USA.


During this period, clarity to his awakening of the understanding of mind deepened and this changed the direction of his life. His scientific work in research gave way to a scientific approach in understanding life and mind, which he shared with all those who were drawn to him.

It is not knowledge that Dr Shankar shares with those who are seeking the truth, but age-old wisdom. Today, what is accepted as knowledge and is accepted as authentic contradicts age-old wisdom. This wisdom is explained in detail in the talks and books that are listed in this article and on the website. [see all references]
