About RVM

Today, he is an acclaimed philanthropist, philosopher, author, speaker and a singer.

However, few know about RVM’s spiritual journey which began at the age of eight when he started believing in Lord Shiva. In fact, his faith in Lord Shiva is so strong that he has been fasting every Monday for the last 39 years!

Initially very religious, RVM started his spiritual journey just like anybody else thinking that God was a statue. But by the grace of the Creator, RVM gradually realized that God is beyond just the Linga, Shiva or a statue. He transformed his life through his belief, transcending from Religion to Spirituality.

Today, RVM advocates that God is a power, a Creator, who created the sun, the moon, the stars, the birds, the animals and the flowers. So it doesn’t matter whether you are a Hindu, Christian or a Muslim. RVM believes that religion has no significance when it comes to spirituality.

He believes religions are only steps that are supposed to take people closer to God.

In 1995, he along with his father built a Shiv Temple on Old Airport Road, Bangalore. With a 65-foot Shiv statue, today, the temple has become a spiritual destination thronged by people from different parts of the world. All devotees, regardless of their caste, creed, religion or social status, are welcome at the temple.

RVM’s effort in this world is to try to make people realize that more important than religion is God and we must believe in this Creator, the Power called God.

RVM writes lyrics for bhajans and also sings bhajans at the Shiv temple. He travels around the country advocating how we shouldn’t condemn other religions but live with the spirit of brotherhood, embracing all religions. He believes that although nobody has seen God and we don’t know what God looks like, we can experience God in the wind that blows the water that flows and the Sun that glows.

RVM is also involved in humanitarian work. With the aim of reducing pain and suffering in this world, RVM started a 200-bed free hospital for the poor, which is now being converted into a 1000-bed facility. He also runs charitable homes for the homeless and destitute, as he believes service to humanity is Prayer to God.

RVM, also a philosopher, author, and a speaker, motivates people to live a life of positivity through his talks, books, and daily positive thoughts. He inspires people to choose to live a life of joy, Bliss, Happiness and Fulfillment.
