Vignes Chandran is a free-spirited director of corporate real estate who finds joy discovering the world through activities such as hiking, diving and exploring ancient civilizations. To date he has visited 80 different countries across the globe and aspires to explore all the nations within the foreseeable future. His other areas of interest include spirituality, history and of course writing, which has always been a passion of his.
‘Mahabharata – The Eternal Epic in Short Stories’ is his first published work, a result of his ambition to make the story of the Mahabharata more accessible to all age groups, especially in this new age when everything moves faster and attention spans are shorter. He is inspired by journeys and experiences of spiritual teachers such as Ramana Maharishi, Swami Ramakrishna, Siddhartha Gautama and his very own guide and confidante, Krishna.
Vignes is primarily based in Malaysia, though also fondly refers to Singapore, India and Bali as home.
