    The Untold Perspective Of Meditation | Ft. Khurshed Batliwala

    The Untold Perspective Of Meditation | Ft. Khurshed Batliwala

    Welcome to another episode of Attitude Makeover! This one’s for your mind, quite literally.

    Khurshed Batliwala, fondly known as Bawa (@khurshedbatliwala) or  @BnDTV  is a meditation teacher, wellness & sleep expert, an alternative healer, a best-selling author and personal coach. Drawing on his own knowledge and experience, his engaging insights for us are a blend of logic, belief and actionable wisdom.

    With IIT Bombay and mathematics as his early choices, he stumbled upon the purpose of his life through meditation. With this very lens, Bawa brings perspective to the ‘Attitude Makeover’ where change comes from the power within you and what you need to tap into it – a calm, clear mind.

    “Internal world powers the external world, while the external affects the internal.” And so this conversation is the sum total of an experience of choosing to work on oneself from the inside out. Do you think that straight up means “renouncing the world” of sorts? Not one bit, Bawa says, because it’s about doing everything, just not at the cost of your happiness and health.

    So, if you are looking to make lifestyle changes, channel your mind to be good to you, and start meditating (finally!) or just even seeking ways to sleep or breathe better - TUNE IN NOW.
