Sat-Chit-Ananda, the true nature of SELF is the foundation from which manifests the world as we see it.
Through realisation of SELF which exists/be (Sat) as consciousness(chit) in ananda(bliss).
People mistake external pleasures as happiness and rather than going inward, people run behind the sources
of sensory pleasures that give them momentary pleasure or instant gratification. A person who is ignorant
about his inner faculties experiences and understands the world only through his senses. Such a man's life
is consumed in the thoughts of experiencing pleasures, scheming ways to experience them and finally
experiencing them.
All of us are conscious of the fact that we are the body, in a human form, breathing and identified by our
name. Some are conscious beyond this, feeling deep emotions, empathising with other beings and
compassionate towards others. Such a person realises that his connection with other beings happens beyond
his body. His enquiry into who he is takes him through a journey of seeking, in the process raising his
consciousness beyond the physical body, into each realm beyond the physical body - his breath, his mind,
his intellect and his SELF.
Through constant learning, following various disciplines and practices and through deep contemplation,
meditation and reflection of his inner self, he eventually realises the ultimate truth. He merges with the
all pervading, eternal, immutable, attributeless pure consciousness or awareness that manifests everything
we see and experience through our body and mind.
We are all left with a choice, our choice to live our life as an animal in a human body or go on a path of
discovery, the journey of being, being our true SELF.
As the highest form of life, we humans are the only species who can realise our being/existence beyond our
body, and that is why we are called human being.
At the BEING foundation, we guide people towards BEING.
The journey starting from being a greedy corporate honcho, leading to be an
investor/entrepreneur and to a philanthropist, eventually becoming a yogi, the journey of Sri.Vinod Nair,
who is fondly called yogiV by his followers, is a testament of how consciousness leads one through stages
in life with evolving realisation.
Following his several years of philanthropic life, it was a natural progression to found the NGO with the
hope of inspiring more people with the message of empathy, selflessness and the act of giving back to the
society. Through this charitable organisation Vinod extends to the world a trusted platform for patrons,
well wishers and people with similar thoughts to join in the journey of giving and serving.
For many years Vinod has been mentoring aspiring, new, and seasoned entrepreneurs in areas of starting up,
building brands as well as scaling/growing their businesses. In addition to this he has been involved in
imparting wisdom through life coaching, helping those suffering with mental distress tackle their mental
challenges, elevating them to experience life with a higher level of consciousness and driving them
towards realizing true happiness. For those struggling to find meaning for their life, he has been a
beacon of hope, guiding them into realising the ultimate truth of life, instilling in them a new lease of
life and inspiring them to live a purposeful life.
Over his vast life experience involving travelling and living around the world, he has had the privilege
of co-existing with people from all stratas of society, which enlightened him with insight into the
different lifestyles, behaviours, thoughts, challenges as well as the nuances of relationships. Hailing
from a middle class family background, his hard work and determination saw him scale heights in life.
Traversing through the struggles of life to enjoying the pleasures of life, managing success, wealth and
recognition, Vinod has experienced it all. The experiences and insights gained from his life instilled
humility in him, and he increasingly became empathetic and compassionate to others as he felt the
challenges faced by people from all walks of life including their emotional and mental challenges.
Vinod’s early life was spent in Kerala. He left for London in early 2000s for further education after
obtaining a bachelor's degree in engineering from Tamil Nadu. After 18 years of expat work life spent
between London and Dubai, he answered the inner calling to connect to his roots and eventually returned
back to his hometown Kochi. He holds Chartered Marketer certification and PG Diploma in Strategic
Marketing from Chartered Institute of Marketing(CIM),UK as well as an MBA in Project Management &
Consultancy from University of East London,UK.
On the professional front, with his vast experience in senior management / leadership roles in some of the
largest corporations in the Middle East, he set forth on his entrepreneurial journey, founding many
companies, advising businesses and investing in businesses through his investment firm.
Having experienced life in abundance, over time he lost the charm for the pleasures he had been
experiencing and struggled to find meaning in everything he was doing. This led to him questioning the
status quo regarding social norms, recognition, money, work, family etc. He set on a path seeking clarity
and answers to his questions about life, meaning and purpose, a journey in which, at each phase of his
learning, a Guru appeared who would enlighten him and lead him into his next phase of seeking. He
diligently followed the practices & disciplines he was introduced into, eventually embracing a yogic life.
Upon realisations of the ultimate truth of life, he was able to see himself in every other being around
him. He finds contentment in being selfless and giving back to society.
Today, through the NGO he intends to touch the lives of maximum people, guiding them into prosperity and
peace.
