“Everything is one. Everything is God. Everything is love.” – Vishrant 

Vishrant’s journey didn’t start in a temple or with scripture. 

It began in the brutal beginnings of a violent childhood, where staying present wasn’t a spiritual teaching. 

It was survival. 

Now, decades later, seekers from around the world sit in his presence. 

Not just to hear the truth, but to feel it. 

This is the untold story of how a boy with a big mouth and clenched fists became a living embodiment of peace.

A Childhood Forged in Fire 

“I wasn’t allowed to be a dreamer. I had to stay present… just to survive.” 

The story begins with fear. 

As a child, Vishrant was thrown into the chaos of a dysfunctional home and an even more violent boarding school.  

While other children were learning to read and write, 

He was learning to fight. 

Martial arts became his weapon. 

Present moment awareness became his shield. 

And so began the development of an unusual gift: heightened awareness.  

The same presence that now defines his spiritual transmission was first born in a battlefield. 

The Warrior Meets His Mirror  

Years later, a life-changing moment arrived,  

Not in a monastery,  

But in a room of strangers. 

At 19, furious after his girlfriend spent a month’s wage on a four-day encounter retreat, Vishrant stormed in, 

Ready to demand a refund. 

But instead of getting his money back, he got challenged: 

“What are you afraid of, mate?” 

The question pierced him. 

And so, out of pride, he stayed. 

And in staying… something cracked and profoundly changed the direction of his life. 

That weekend, in the dark room of an encounter group, with a spotlight on his face and a stranger yelling “You, arsehole, get out here!”, 

The outer shell began to fall away. 

For the first time, Vishrant wasn’t fighting others. 

He was meeting himself. 

Anger, Blame, and the End of Victimhood 

“To be a victim, you have to volunteer.” 

Inside a book he was given by his mentors, Vishrant encountered a concept that would become central to his later teachings: victim-oriented thinking. 

The fights, the fury, the temper that cost him job after job, suddenly it made sense.  

He wasn’t just angry.  

He was hurt.  

And beneath the hurt was blame.  

And beneath the blame was a story… one he could stop telling. 

When he dropped the story, the anger dropped too. 

That one shift, away from blame, into responsibility, would ripple out through the rest of his life. 

The Rise and Collapse of a Self-Made Man 

“There’s nothing at the top. I climbed the mountain of success… and found it was hollow.” 

Vishrant dove into business with the same ferocity he once used in the schoolyard. 

He became a wealthy publisher by 28. 

Drove a Rolls Royce. 

Lived in a penthouse. 

Flew around the world. 

From the outside, it looked like he had everything. 

But inside, something was missing. 

Despite outward success, a hunger remained: a yearning that monetary wealth couldn’t satisfy. 

That longing would take him to Oregon… and to Osho. 

The Day Everything Fell Silent 

“He was speaking but no one was speaking. There was just this presence. I lost the ability to think. I could only read one word at a time.” 

The first time Vishrant sat in front of Osho, something extraordinary happened. 

It wasn’t just a teacher he’d found. 

It was the taste of Truth. 

Something opened. 

And it never fully closed again. 

The Barefoot Pilgrimage: Becoming Nobody 

“I needed to become a nobody going nowhere. That’s where I found my heart.” 

Soon after meeting Osho, Vishrant did something radical. 

He gave away everything including his companies and office suites full of furniture.  

And walked around Australia barefoot for four years. 

No title.  

No story.  

No possessions.  

Just service. 

He mowed lawns. Washed dishes. Slept under stars. 

And every step peeled away another layer of identity. 

Enlightenment: When the ‘I’ Disappears 

“After a two-week retreat with an awakened teacher… it never left. It’s been 26 years now. Presence hasn’t gone anywhere.” 

After years of practice, silence, and service, something happened. 

He stopped being someone. 

The seeker disappeared. 

And what remained was love. 

This wasn’t just stillness of mind. 

It was the dissolution of separation. 

Everything was one. 

And everything was love. 

What Is a Buddha Field? 

“You can’t fake the Buddha field. It’s felt. It’s real. That’s how you know.” 

Words can lie. 

Energy cannot. 

Vishrant’s students and spiritual seekers from around the world don’t come for philosophy, they come for the Buddha field.  

The palpable transmission of stillness, love, and awareness that radiates from someone who is awake. 

According to Vishrant, this field is not a performance or persona, it’s produced when that that’s aware of the mind becomes aware of itself and stays aware of itself. 

From Business to Buddhahood: Why He Still Charges 

“I work 12 hours a day, every day, in service.” 

Some critics ask: If Vishrant is awake, why ask for any money? 

The answer is simple: the poor game doesn’t work.  

The world still has bills and expenses to pay. 

Mortgages, staff, insurances. 

The Vishrant Buddhist Society founded and operated by his students covers costs. Not for profit. Just to function in sharing higher consciousness, presence, and Truth. 

The Real Reason Vishrant Teaches 

“It’s a love affair. I love people. I love humanity. That’s why I teach.” 

Why not just retreat into peace? 

Why continue working? 

The answer again: love. 

He teaches not to build a brand, but to be of service. 

He challenges not to control, but to free people. 

He tells the Truth, not because it’s easy, but because it’s real. 

And it’s what seekers need to hear. 

How Do You Know a Real Spiritual Teacher? 

“Feel their presence. If they have a Buddha field, stay. If they don’t, leave.” 

In a world full of gurus and charlatans who proclaim to be spiritual teachers, how do you know who’s the real deal? 

Vishrant offers one metric. 

Because enlightenment isn’t in the words. 

It’s in the energy behind them. 

If a teacher has a continuous Buddha field, they are enlightened, they are the real deal. 

If they don’t have a Buddha field, they are not awake. 

Want to Taste the Real? 

If you want to feel what this transmission is, not just read about it sit with someone who lives it. 

You can attend a live Satsang online or in person. 

You too, are welcome here.
