My reflective journey in life began at a tender age, sparked by a book about Buddha gifted to me by my beloved aunt, Kalyani. Her simple but thoughtful act ignited a lifelong quest: What is life’s purpose in the face of mortality?

This profound question propelled me from a humble village in southern India to global stages, shaping my path despite the economic challenges that surrounded me. My family’s unwavering support became the wind beneath my wings, driving me to elevate our circumstances and reach beyond what once seemed impossible.

My journey took a pivotal turn during my time at Guindy Engineering college, where studying engineering laid the foundation for a successful career at Infosys. There, I had the privilege of guiding companies across the globe in defining their vision, goals, people, and technology, leaving behind a legacy of satisfied clients and transformative success.

Yet, it wasn’t just the corporate world that defined me. From childhood, two pursuits have shaped my life like the wings of a bird: art and self-realization. Whether through writing, speaking, or acting, my creative spirit has flourished alongside my professional and entrepreneurial pursuits in the United States and India. At the same time, my quest for personal development, nurtured by reading and meditating with the guidance of genuine teachers from India, has been equally significant. These twin passions—art and personal development —have allowed me to soar, each supporting and balancing the other.

I have always been committed to helping others with their well-being and excellence, offering one-on-one sessions and talks since my high school days. Whatever I gathered, I was eager to share with others. With a master’s degree in psychology, I formalized my personal study of the mind and its potential, despite the challenges posed by those who profit from misappropriating the work of others in this noble field.

Through my life experiences, I’ve come to deeply understand a vital truth: LOVE is the cornerstone of all achievement. This realization has been further deepened by my practice of Sahaj Marg—Heartfulness Meditation—introduced to me in 2002, which has helped me address my fundamental questions about purpose.

From this rich tapestry of experiences, I finally emerged after years of struggle as an aspiring entrepreneur, bringing to the world products and services rooted in both art and self realization.

I am profoundly grateful for my talented friends and partners who share in these creative ventures. My beloved wife, daughter, sister, parents, grandparents, and aunts form the bedrock of my existence, shaping a life built on cooperation, inspiration, and collective growth—all rooted in love.

About My Name: Citizen KK

In October 2016, on a memorable evening, my dear friend Pat Maloney affectionately called me ‘Citizen K.’ That moment marked the beginning of my journey to fully embrace what it means to be a citizen of both my country and the world. In honor of Pat, who helped me realize this, and my loyal companion Keegan—my son, who helped me understand and deeply feel the unity of all life, not just human—became the inspiration behind the second ‘K,’ which also honors my ancestry. I adopted the name Citizen KK for this new chapter in my life.

Dedication

I dedicate my work and whatever useful I may leave on this earth to my one and only daughter, Lakshita, my master teacher, who is taking my heart to the infinite depths of love ever since our eyes first met.

Thank You,

Citizen KK

MERIT!

The individuals we elect wield immense influence over the essence of our lives—the breath of life itself and the sacred fires of merit that fuel our endeavors. The ethos of earning, carving out our destinies through sweat, skill, intellect and perseverance, is foundational to our society.

Today, it’s disheartening to see efforts aimed at diluting this fundamental truth—the intrinsic value of merit. This erosion is not just an attack on individuals; it’s a systematic dismantling of the principles of hard work, talent, and effort that support our collective achievements.

Who benefits when the scales of merit are tampered with? Who profits when the reward for diligence and expertise is stripped away? This challenge transcends politics—it is a defining issue of our era. By standing firm in our defense of merit and the virtue of earning, we aren’t just preserving values; we are actively constructing the enlightened civilization many before us dreamt of but could not achieve fully.

As voters, we hold a sacred duty to champion the cause of merit, whether we reside in sprawling cities or tranquil countrysides. We must rise to expel the culture of the ‘unearned’ and herald an era where true, hard-earned merit reigns supreme.

With unbridled optimism for our future, let us vote with wisdom and courage for merit—the cornerstone of a thriving, equitable society. Is there truly no candidate worthy of our vote? We must scrutinize our choices, discerning who genuinely advocates for a meritorious society and who undermines merit by masquerading transient desires as urgent needs.

This is not just a choice between candidates based on personal likes and dislikes but a stand for principles that should govern our society. As we cast our ballots, let’s commit to those who have demonstrated a steadfast commitment to an environment where hard work and talent are the keys to advancement. Let’s reject the allure of easy answers that disrespect our hard-earned achievements.

Together, let’s cultivate a legacy of integrity and merit that will resonate for generations. Let’s create a lasting legacy of merit that will echo through the ages.

I am independent but decisive and I vote based on principles, choosing candidates who align with these values.

My Key Stands

1. Empower, Don’t Patronize: Real help for disadvantaged individuals comes from equipping them with the skills to earn jobs and achieve status, not by offering handouts that diminish their potential. Merit should always be the guiding principle.

2. Reverse Racism is Racism: Enabling a system where one group permanently benefits at the expense of another creates a parasitic and unjust dynamic. It’s hypocritical to accept this under any label. To put it bluntly, inclusion cannot be achieved by excluding whites.

3. Borders with Integrity: A borderless nation cannot function as a nation. Legal, regulated immigration strengthens society. Unchecked immigration, later manipulated for political purposes, undermines national integrity.

4. Put Citizens First, Avoid Foreign Entanglements: The primary duty of a government is to its own people. Unnecessary foreign wars drain resources and attention that should be focused on domestic well-being.

5. Protect Women’s Spaces and Rights: Women deserve their own spaces in sports, restrooms, locker rooms, and other areas, free from intrusion by biological males. This is fundamental to maintaining dignity and fairness.

6. Keep America Investable: Business fosters jobs and self-esteem. While not all businesses are ethical, overregulating and overtaxing those that provide employment makes success a liability. The United States of America (USA) should remain a land of opportunity, not Un-investable States of America.

7. Pro-Choice and Pro-Life: Nuanced, Not Extremist: The debate between pro-choice and pro-life should be approached with deep, case-by-case analysis. Extremist rhetoric misrepresents both sides. Seek truth beyond the narratives pushed by legacy media outlets and people in social media who are strongly opinionated and unwilling to listen to others.

Doubt

தேரான் தெளிவும் தெளிந்தான்கண் ஐயுறவும்

தீரா இடும்பைத் தரும்.

The incomplete thinker, in arrogance, stands tall,

The clear thinker in doubt stalls, both to endless misery do fall.

-Thirukkural

People often have personalized reasons for doubting a decision or a subject, even after initially feeling clear about it. A common underlying factor for these doubts appears to be fear.

This fear might stem from the possibility of loss if the outcome doesn’t meet expectations, fear of opposition from others, or fear of damaging one’s self-image. There may also be fears related to physical pain or harm.

Take any live example from your life and evaluate it. See how fear might be influencing your doubts and decisions.

Happy introspecting!
