Dr. Rajesh Takyar: Bridging Spiritual Wisdom and Modern Innovation

Who does not know the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita—the timeless scripture that has inspired generations? When Lord Shri Krishna shared this divine discourse with Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, He knew it would guide humanity for eternity. Today, it remains one of the most widely read and respected spiritual texts worldwide. Carrying forward this legacy of spreading divine knowledge is Dr. Rajesh Takyar, an author, thinker, entrepreneur, and innovator who has dedicated his life to both spiritual enlightenment and technological progress. At 71, he is working on an ambitious book series based on the eighteen chapters of the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, with four chapters already completed for publication.

Authoring Wisdom for the World

Dr. Takyar believes the vast treasure of wisdom in Hindu scriptures should not remain confined to history; it must be studied, understood, and shared. He has authored several books, including Safalta Ka Rasta, Sinope Ka Khazana, Krishna Ek Satyagyan, Inventing Dreams, and Diary of a Monk. His debut book, Inventing Dreams, earned him the prestigious Golden Book Award. Over the years, he has been recognised with honours such as the National Bharat Ratna Award, Bharat Gaurav Ratna Shri Samman Award, National Shaurya Samman, and Best Author & Writer of the Year Award. Beyond literature, he is a member of the World Human Rights Protection Commission, reflecting his commitment to societal betterment.

Pursuit of Knowledge and Truth

When not writing, Dr. Takyar studies ancient scriptures, including the Puranas and Vedas, and contributes to Wikipedia to ensure authentic information reaches readers worldwide. He emphasises that no one should blindly believe everything they read, especially in an era where misinformation is rampant on social media. Instead, he advocates for verification through scriptures and credible sources, a principle that guides both his writing and his personal life. His writings, whether spiritual or motivational, are always rooted in direct study and personal reflection.

Innovation and Entrepreneurship

His literary and spiritual pursuits, however, are just one part of an extraordinary life. Born in 1955 in Jalandhar and raised in New Delhi, Dr. Takyar’s life story is also one of resilience. Despite limited resources, he completed his B.Com degree while supporting himself. In 1999, driven by curiosity and determination, he and his son taught themselves computer programming. This passion led to the founding of a company in 2006, which became a global player in mobile applications and innovative technologies. Among his remarkable inventions is the Hiarya Tea Robot, the world’s first tea-making robot, unveiled at Pragati Maidan seven years ago. Later acquired by a leading global tea manufacturer, it highlighted his vision as an inventor and entrepreneur.

Philosophy of Possibility

Through all his endeavours, Dr. Takyar believes that if a human being truly wills it, even the impossible can be achieved. Every great idea already exists in the human mind; it only requires the willpower to bring it to life. His book Way to Success captures this philosophy, inspiring young readers.

Legacy of Inspiration

Today, at 71, Dr. Rajesh Takyar continues to inspire future generations through his books, inventions, and personal philosophy. He takes pride in his children, who have been his partners in innovation and success, and he remains deeply content with the life he has built. From overcoming financial challenges in his youth to becoming a celebrated author and inventor, his journey is a testament to determination and faith.

Dr. Takyar’s ongoing work on the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita series is not just a literary pursuit but a mission to share timeless wisdom with the world. By bridging spirituality and technology, he has proven that knowledge, coupled with resilience, can illuminate countless lives.
