The lecture will be given by our special guest, Parth Doshi
Parth Doshi was born in Mumbai, India.
Even though Parth was raised in a Jain community, from a young age, his outlook on life was more spiritual and philosophical than religious. Throughout his life, his search for wisdom on how to live life with depth and meaning never left his side, no matter where he was – his early years in India, travelling internationally at the age of 13 and competing in the sport of Squash, getting his degree at the prestigious Williams College in MA, USA and consulting in IT in Boston.
In 2007 he met New Acropolis in Boston and immediately discovered his passion for applied Philosophy as a path to give meaning to everything we do and make a sustainable change in oneself and in the world. This led to him discover the life and wisdom of Gandhi from the lens of Gandhi’s inner transformation, so essential and relevant for all of us today.
Professionally, Parth continues consulting in the IT industry and is also an instructor and Director of New Acropolis in Toronto.
