Rajiv Mudgal

 Rajiv Mudgal is a renowned Indian author, playwright, and filmmaker whose work explores the interplay between tradition and modernity. With a career spanning decades, Mudgal’s narratives address universal themes of human existence, consciousness, and interconnectedness, blending lyrical prose with intricate storytelling.

His acclaimed play “अनिष्ट का दस्तक - The Arrival of Devastation,” which was adapted into a film that won Best Film at the Delhi International Film Festival, examines the tension between faith and modernity. His bestseller “देवताओं का मौन (The Gods Have Gone Silent)” is celebrated for its literary merit and philosophical insights, reinforcing Mudgal’s position as a leading figure in contemporary Indian literature and philosophy. 

His writings embody the principles of non-duality, challenging the myth that standard writing and the accepted forms of language and literature cannot express the non-dual. This challenges the notion that difference and change are fundamental to the modern self-understanding of Being.

His insights are inspired by the belief that the Western sense of Being has become dangerously unreliable, and that the East should seek the meaning and values that matter most to them within their own understanding of Being.
