My postgraduate studies were focused on "Vedanta" philosophy. My current doctoral works speciallizes on "Swami Vivekananda Bhakti Philosophy". During my stay in Ramakrishna Mission Vidyamandira for my graduation and Master's, I was fortunate to come across the auspicious and rich culture of Ramakrishna-Vivekananda sahitya which led my further research in this subject.

I have a profound interest in the rich literature of "Bhakti Sahitya". The dissertation topic of my M.Phil studies was based on "Gaudiya Vaishnab Philosophy" including "Shaktitattva". With my current research , I am trying to figure out the link between "Swami Vivekananda's" straightway approach towards bhakti philosophy with traditional Indian bhakti philosophy. I hope that this research will improve the understanding about Swamiji's view on Indian culture and tradition. I also believe that this will lead to a more straightforward way to understand Swamiji so that his life and teaching can be made more available to common people.

My previous teaching was mainly focused on " Indian Philosophy" and "Indian ethics". My current teaching areas also explore in the vast area of "Indian Metaphysics and Epistemology".
