Born into the colourful fabric of India's rich cultural diversity, David James' unconventional journey began at 17, when he courageously defied societal norms to join Swamy Sathyananda Parahamsanada at the Bihar School of Yoga (BSY) in 1979. For nearly two decades, he plunged into realms of altered realities, engaging with unique masters in Himalayan monasteries and Sufi saints, all while enriching his profound understanding of the intricate facets of consciousness and existence.
An unexpected foray into the frantic world of investment banking in the Far East created a thrilling foil to David's spiritual pursuits. His global encounters with fascinating spiritual guides across Asia, the US, and the UK served to widen his perspectives on diverse cultural interpretations of higher realities. Yet, the magnetic pull of his homeland called him back in 2005, inspiring a deeper exploration of Tantric and Yogic wisdom and leading him on a transformative journey transcending traditional schools of thought. 
Endowed with the spiritual name Sn. Sathyavrath by the respected Parahamsanada Niranjananda, David embraces the title 'UnMonk,' reflecting his independence from traditional religious boundaries and lineage. His conviction in individual sovereignty fuels his philosophy, and he advocates seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary. He continually guides those curious about enigmatic concepts such as bardo planes and death midwifery, which epitomizes his philosophy of "Mind over Matter, Not Matter Over Mind."
 
David's rare ability to fuse spiritual insight with modern pragmatism extends to consultations on financial risk, ethics, green technology, and branding in an AI-dominated era. His diverse journey's richness uniquely positions him as a visionary leader for those navigating the intricate dance between the mind, soul, and our rapidly changing technological world.
