Meet Pradhuman Bhagat, who had two patents at 15, quit job at NASA to become monk, his new name is…, he is from…
In a world where success is often defined by academic excellence, materialistic achievements and career milestones, Pradyumna Bhagat was destined for something bigger – his higher calling. Pradyumna Bhagat left his job at NASA which was worth lakhs and adopted the life of a saint in BAPS and became Swami Keshavsankalpdas.
Pradyumna Bhagat decided to leave his job with a package of lakhs from a prestigious organisation like NASA and do devotion to God. For this, he has entered the sanyasi life of BAPS (Bochasanwasi Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha). Pradyumna Bhagat has renounced all worldly bonds and has taken initiation from Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha and now he is living his life as Swami Keshavsankalpdas.
Pradyumna Bhagat was born in Auckland, New Zealand and excelled in Electrical and Robotics Engineering at Atlanta. He was a Gold Scholar, TEDx speaker and an innovator who received two patents at the age of 15. He worked on cutting edge robotics for Boeing and received prestigious job offers from Boeing and NASA JPL.
Despite these unprecedented achievements, Pradyumna Bhagat decided to leave a bright future in aerospace and technology and pursue an even greater purpose and entered the monastic life of BAPS. He renounced worldly bonds and took initiation in the Swaminarayan sect and will now live as Swami Keshavsankalpdas, a source of inspiration for millions.
Pradyumna Bhagat’s decision gives us strength to realize that true satisfaction lies beyond worldly success. In a world where achievements are usually associated with wealth and prestige, he dedicated his life to BAPS’ global mission of spirituality, service and moral upliftment. This decision embodies the highest values of selflessness, devotion and faith. Now, as Swami Keshav Sankalpdas continues this divine journey, his story will inspire generations across the world to spirituality, humility and selfless service to humanity through BAPS.
