DR. SHASHANK SHAH can be described as a Jignasu, one on a quest for knowledge about the worlds within and without. His spiritual ideas and ideals are an amalgamation of the finest traditions of India. They have been moulded by the pious principles of Jainism and the path of Karma from his paternal side; nurtured by the sublime sanctity of Pushti Marga Vaishnavism and the path of Bhakti from his maternal side; and inspired by the supreme message of Advaita Vedanta and the path of Jnana from his Guru - Sri Sathya Sai, at whose University he studied, researched and taught for a dozen years.

Over the last 15 years, he has edited 30+ books on Indian Ethos and Values. On 200+ occasions in 50+ cities globally, in 5 languages, he has addressed gatherings on themes like Practical Spirituality, Indian Culture, Scriptures like Ramayan, Bhagavat and Gita, Human Values for Life and Living, Integral Education, Social Responsibility and Service, Yoga, Vedant, Sanatan Dharma and Unity of Religions.
