Sujiva
I was born and brought up in New Delhi , India , where most
of my family still lives. I emigrated to New Zealand at the
age of 22 years and came across the the FWBO/TBMSG in Wellington
, New Zealand . So, I had to go all away from India
to New Zealand to
discover Buddhadharma! I was deeply inspired by my experiences
of meditation and lectures on Buddhism by Bhante Sangharakshita.
I moved to London in year 2000 and got ordained into the Western
Buddhist Order in the year 2002. Currently, I live in
a Buddhist community near the London Buddhist Centre, teach
meditation coursers in central London and work as an IT Consultant
for a large company. I am interested in making the Dharma
available to a much wider range of people in India and see
the Dhammaloka project at Sarnath an important step in this
direction.
