His teachings mostly concentrate on five elements, that comprise different forms of energy: Air, Earth, Sky and Water.

He believes that it is only when we truly understand this energy and master it can we really take control of our life and be content.

'''Pujya Deepakbhai Desai'''

Pujya Deepakbhai is one of the prominent Indian Spiritual Leaders who has a satsang program on Aastha TV, which is becoming increasingly popular.

Born on May 9, 1953 in Morbi, Deepakbhai’s calm and simple disposition was already evident from a very early age. He is the youngest of 5 brothers and sisters. When still a child, his older brother took him to Dadashri and on March 6, 1971 Deepakibhai received the knowledge of the Self-Atmagnan from Dadashri. For someone who was already exhibiting somewhat ascetic tendencies, Deepakbhai now gained a tremendous impetus to self-learn and attain the true goal of liberation.

He pursued his studies and attained a degree in Mechanical Engineering. After launching his own business as a Consulting Engineer, he decided to join a spiritual path, the idea which his father severely opposed to. It took his father nearly 8 years to realize that his son has chosen the right path for himself. His family is now very supportive of his way of life and helps him to stay aloof from the worldly and family related matters with ease.
