Exclusive Interview of Dr. Pillai for OMTimes
Sonja Benkovich: Welcome Dr. Pillai. When did you know you were called to a life of spirituality and service?
Dr. Pillai: In this life time, as well as I can remember. At a very young age, even when I was ten or twelve years old, I was attracted to go and meditate on my own without knowing what I was doing. That was perhaps a recollection of my past life memory that triggered, that I should go and meditate.
Later when I grew up it became very clear that my mission is to understand the non-physical, beyond the body, beyond the mind. To understand energy as a motivating force for both the body and the mind. This started around my twenties. That is when I got involved with the TM movement. I became a teacher and that is how it got started.
Sonja Benkovich: I understand your mission in life is also to end human suffering. That’s a big undertaking. What calls you to this purpose and how do you see yourself fulfilling this life mission?
