      Great sidz, good to know about you in detail

    • Srinivasan S

      Hi Sid (Shabda Hari Das),
      Lovely podcast!!! I am listening your music in Illuminize and writing. You are exceptional soul on each and every part of your life….You had great parents gave the directions to the spiritual path in young age itself. Also getting a life partner with the same spiritual path is a great gift from GOD. Your food style, Sadhvik, having herbal milkshake are best food especially today’s pandemic times… We still have the house which was bought by my father in 1980’s in my village. Many of my relatives asked to sell but I wanted to keep as it is. It is emotionally attached. Recently came across one family, whose children are also in home school but that time i was not very convinced whether it is possible. But after listening to you, I think in future home schooling will emerge as a major player. You are so blessed to have spiritual parents, life partner and I guess your children also go in the same direction how you travel now. You are gifted with western music & Indian and you are spending that in to the spiritual cause.
      I have to find a way to find Sadhvik foods while travelling. It is my biggest challenge while travelling outside India.
      You are an all rounder Sid….Western music, mridangam, Dubai, Spiritual, Sadhvik food, keeping good contact with old friends still, Digital Marketing, spiritual tour, took Dheekshai, home schooling for children, already decided for children future etc…..Its too much for me….
      All the best Sid!!! Great to know you and I think its also a gift for me introducing you. Because I never thought of coaching business…..

    • Maneesha Bhat

    • Pradeepta Kumar Hota

      Yes, it was a great pleasure & privilege to know a lot about your persona stuff. You are a very unique person specially the way you have devolvped your outlook for all religions in true humanistic form. All religion speak of love, compassion,co-existence &peace. You have really deep- dived into it in such a holistic manner. On similar line your food habit, family every aspect oozes a great sense of spirituality & fulfillment. Would like to hear more on your family lines also, because you are so young & your children are really in a kid like stage. It will always keenly watched/heard by me. Really loved the contents.

    • Deepthi Jain

      Awesome sidz, loved to know about your other side.well me too a music lover.

    • Sudhir Mahale

      My interests are diametrically opposite to your. However the process of examining your life critically has made you to resonate with your customers. This was a great learning for me. But I have to study my life so far in greater details. Identify major milestones and how they have impacted me and the people. this critical analysis will help me to identify my target customers and their pain points or struggles. The course i will be creating will have emotional connect with my clients. It will no be proper to put it before a larger audience at present. But help me identify my target market because the ideal customer is someone like me.

      • Siddharth Rajsekar

        Thanks, Sudhir!
        This is just the beginning 🙂 the more you invest time in learning you will discover newer ways of refining your positioning. Keep Inspiring!

    • Raj Kumar

    • Santosh Pawaskar

      Hey Sidz, it’s great to hear more about you in your podcast! I really enjoyed learning how your positive vibes attract your tribe. It’s amazing how we can resonate with each other on so many things, like our shared love for music, family, spirituality, and our children.

      I can totally relate to having a few close friends who you have a deep connection with, just like you do. It’s also awesome that we both enjoy traveling with our friends and family.

      You know what, Sidz? After getting to know you more through your podcast, I feel like we could be friends too. You’re not just my coach anymore, I’d love to add you to my friends list if you’re up for it! 🙂

    • Ranjod Singh Kalra

      Hari Om! A very multi faceted dynamic and interesting life. Nothing goes waste in life. Now that you have found your niche you can shift from ‘malin Sattwa’ to ‘shudh Sattwa’. Then the best will come out. Keep it up. God bless!

    • Firdous Guffor Misgar

      Sidz frankly telling but the truth iz truth sorry there uz nothing common in between us .?We are two different souls with different perspectIves ? You love to complicate things & I love to simplify things i am a sort of guy when i see someone really in need i dont think twice to help him or her to get out of the scenario .You are very nuch Materailistic instead of spirituality? It takes you good amont of time to build a trust? Weither you will agree or not it iz not my bussiness ? It iz my perspective since May 2021 the day i meet you first through email

    • Neeraj Kumar

      An amazing Spiritual person. More power to you, Sidz.

    • Prashant Chitnis

      A very good podcast which reveals another side of your personality. Apart from digital education, you have an interest in multiple areas, especially music and gaming. All these things add different colours and understanding. I never got an opportunity to learn music but love to listen to good new and old Hindi, and Marathi songs and read books. I love to travel and try different food specialities.
      Thanks for sharing.
