Driven by a passion for travel photography, Singh pursued professional training in the field. During this transformative period, he began questioning his life’s purpose, eventually embracing spirituality.
Singh also explored teaching, opening a physics coaching centre. However, the spiritual calling became irresistible, and he dedicated himself to understanding the deeper truths of existence. Today, he identifies as a devotee of Lord Shiva, merging his scientific knowledge with spiritual insights.
“Now I am enjoying spirituality. I understand spirituality through science. Everything is Shiva. Truth is Shiva, and Shiva is beautiful,” he shared.
At the Maha Kumbh, Singh’s blend of scientific intellect and spiritual wisdom has captivated both devotees and the media. Fluent in English and active on Instagram with nearly 29,000 followers, he shares posts about meditation, yoga, and ancient sutras. His modern approach to spirituality has earned him the nickname ‘Engineer Baba.’
Despite his growing popularity, Singh remains grounded. Reflecting on his time at the Maha Kumbh, he said, “Being here has given me peace of mind.”
