Ramesh Malhotra is a successful business entrepreneur, philanthropist and author.
Ramesh Malhotra owns and directs the activities of more than seven different businesses in the fields of trading, manufacturing, import and distribution, real estate, innovative technologies, and brand marketing.
He balances his natural business acumen with his personal search for spiritual enlightenment.
Ramesh explains The Spirituality Circle as:
"The three aspects of life include: Service, Support and Sacrifice and they directly relates to: Karma, Dharma and Dakshna; as defined in the Vedas or in Buddhism as the true path to sanctity, Moksha or Nirvana. With fulfilling personal obligatory responsibilities, ‘Karma,’ one attains ‘Tranquility’ and with fulfilling social and cultural responsibilities, ‘Dharma’, one attains ‘Inner Peace’ and finally by fulfilling altruistic responsibilities, ‘Dakshna’, one attains freedom of individual soul. This all leads to eternity the ultimate goal of each living being”
