About Pandit Dasa
Pandit Dasa lived as a monk for 15 years on New York City's Lower East Side, engaging deeply in meditation, self-reflection, and simple living. Returning to the modern world, he made it his mission to integrate ancient mindfulness practices and modern leadership. Now, he coaches leaders in Fortune 500 organizations, universities, and international conferences, bringing presence, empathy, and clarity into hectic workspaces.
He has written two popular books, Urban Monk and Mindfulness for the Wandering Mind, both based on his own experience from peaceful monastery corridors to corporate boardrooms. What sets Pandit Dasa apart is his real-life experience. He is not talking from theory but from an existence lived in difficult mental and social circumstances.
Through his keynotes and workshops, Pandit Dasa provides actionable tools, such as conscious listening, breathing awareness, empathic leadership, and pressure resilience. He has consulted with Google teams, NASA teams, IBM teams, Chase teams, and London Stock Exchange teams. He is always stressing that mindfulness in the workplace is not a soft supplement, but rather a performance driver and human connectivity builder.

Why Pandit Dasa?
Pandit Dasa doesn’t feel like a typical speaker; you sense the calm before he even begins. His presence comes from a lifetime spent practicing mindfulness in its most authentic form. From monastery silence to bustling boardrooms, he’s learned how to be fully alive in every moment.
The wisdom he imparts is not gleaned from theoretical studies, he has taken it from real life. He talks about the highs and lows of inner work, the pitfalls of communal living, and the effort to stay grounded in complexity. When he talks to leaders, he isn't sharing "wellness tips." He encourages them to rethink how they show up. He shows how presence, empathy, and even gratitude can reboot workplace culture at its core.
He has addressed thousands in giant auditoriums and intimate leadership groups. The effect is the same - people depart with new habits, such as deep breathing between meetings, rituals of active listening, or daily gratitude check-ins, that they can apply right away. Pandit Dasa’s workshops are low-fluff, high-resonance.
If your event is to motivate true behaviour change, like teams that become closer, leaders who remain grounded, individuals who re-connect to their reason for being, Pandit Dasa can deliver. He combines ancient wisdom with corporate acumen, and he does so with warmth, sincerity, and a dash of subtle humour.
His message is straightforward - mindfulness is not an escape. It is the way we participate more fully, with ourselves, our teams, and our work. That is why Pandit Dasa is a change agent who inspires deeper hearts and clearer minds.
