Spirituality is a growth industry. And nothing illustrates that better than the burgeoning crop of colossal sanctuaries sprouting up in suburbs across the land.
Spirituality is not about looking up or down – it’s about looking inward.
Spirituality is something that makes you who you are on and off the field. It’s something you try and live by. The way you play is one thing, but the way you act is a little different. You’re just trying to be a good person, the best you can be, on and off the field.
Trying to capture the essence of India is almost like trying to bottle magic, which is hard to do because India is so broad and diverse – it’s controlled chaos. But there’s spirituality and wholeness to the people.

Growing up, my parents were Roman Catholic – strict Catholics – from New Orleans. I understood the idea in the principle of spirituality. I noticed it in the stories that I read.

For me, the other thing is not just a strong sense of spirituality.
I feel more grounded and more settled than I ever have. I don’t know whether that is to do with my spirituality or whether I’m wiser about life, but as you age you become more selective about what you listen to, devote your time to and who you hang out with.
Spirituality – prayer – is a big part of my life.
The universe itself was created by the sound waves which that almighty created. So music and spirituality go together. Everything is interconnected.
It might sound like I’m a dreamer, but economic models have reached their height of evolution. Technology has evolved. What hasn’t evolved is mankind’s spirituality; everything is from 3,000 years ago. With spirituality comes morals, a better way of thinking.
I got fascinated with all of this work in terms of spirituality, philosophy, behavioral science when I was around 18 years old. I’ve been doing this for 14 years, and I’ve been doing it online for three years.
Self-awareness is not self-centeredness, and spirituality is not narcissism. ‘Know thyself’ is not a narcissistic pursuit.
