Shri Vekhande serves as a beacon of knowledge, making individuals and readers aware of how the teachings of our Rishis remain profoundly relevant in modern times.
Shri Vekhande’s journey is one that many will find inspiring. As a Professor of Computer Science, he has spent years nurturing young minds in the field. Yet, what makes him truly special is his dedication to preserving and sharing the spiritual treasures of our heritage. He is not just an academic but a passionate Jyotish scholar who has devoted considerable time to understanding the profound vigyan that our Rishis gifted us.

A Writer Who Touches Hearts
Those who have read Shri Vekhande’s “Haripath” in Hindi are familiar with the depth of his devotion and knowledge. This beautiful work brings the soul-stirring abhangas of Saint Dhyaneshwar to readers across India, making these timeless spiritual gems accessible to a broader audience. Through these verses, he shares the transformative power of divine chanting and offers gentle guidance on living a meaningful, spiritual life.
A Teacher at Heart
Beyond his formal roles, Shri Vekhande is essentially a teacher who believes in the transformative power of knowledge. He has written extensively about Rishi Sanskriti, helping his fellow readers and students reconnect with the profound teachings of our sages. What makes his approach unique is his emphasis on understanding the ‘why’ behind our traditions, along with the Jyotish significance rather than simply following them unthinkingly. His articles don’t just inform—they inspire people to think critically about our Sanskriti and discover the profound logic embedded within ancient practices.
He has also created platforms for spiritual discussion, including digital forums where people gather to explore Indian spiritual and cultural traditions. In these spaces, he encourages participants to question, analyse, and truly comprehend the deeper meanings behind our customs and beliefs. Whether discussing the wisdom of our Rishis or sharing insights about jyotish, his approach is always warm, inclusive, and intellectually stimulating.
Through his writing, teaching, and community engagement, he works tirelessly to help people develop a deeper relationship with their culture and civilisation. His approach is scholarly yet accessible, always asking his readers and students to think: “Why do we perform this ritual? What is the logic behind this practice? What different forms of our Devis and Devtas convey to us?”
His new book on Hanumanji embodies this philosophy, presenting not just the stories and glories of our beloved deity but also encouraging readers to understand the profound psychological, spiritual, and practical wisdom that Tulsidasji intended to convey through the Hanuman Chalisa.
