As a highly trained martial artist, a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine who has received the title of "Abhidhaja Maha Pandit" and spiritual initiation from the Great Buddhist Bhadant Abhidhaja Maharath Gurugyaneshwar in Nagpur in 2022, and a spiritual leader, I lead several organizations across China and India where holistic health, excellence in martial arts, and spiritual growth are fostered.
