About the Author

Dr Devdas Menon is an Institute Chair Professor at IIT Madras, engaged in teaching, research and consultancy in structural engineering. He adopts a holistic approach in education, placing an emphasis on inner development and transformation. He was initiated into Advaita Vedanta in his youth by Swami Krishnananda (of Rishikesh) and other teachers. Ever since, his approach to spirituality has been to see the 'formless aware presence', the one Divine, in all manifestation, despite the seeming differences in myriad names and forms and beliefs.

In structural engineering, he has co-authored a popular textbook on 'Reinforced Concrete Design', and has authored textbooks titled 'Structural Analysis' and 'Advanced Structural Analysis'. In the realm of self-improvement and spirituality, he has authored books titled 'Stop sleepwalking through life!' and 'Spirituality at work' (on the Bhagavad Gita), which are texts used for the popular courses on ‘Self-Awareness’ and ‘Integral Karmayoga’ at IIT Madras.
