Kiran — My birth name, given by my mother during the Namkaran ceremony. It means a ray of light — a shining beam that illuminates darkness. It was the name I carried into the world, before the world revealed to me who I truly was.
Kedi — The name I consciously chose in 2016, when I understood my true identity and mission. “Kedi” represents a complex and fearless personality — one who carries both divine and demonic attributes within. It symbolizes a man who is free from shackles: a rule-maker, a patriot, a donor, a dark horse, a strategist, a rebel, and a seeker of truth.
Kedi Ganapati — My official documents carry the name Kedi Kailas Khot. In 2016, I experienced a moment of deep self-realisation — I understood that my life was not ordinary. From that day, I committed to research, reinterpret, and rewrite the foundational scriptures of Sanatan Dharma, and to initiate its renaissance for the modern age.
Kedi Character — Don’t define my position or character by thinking I am only a sage. When I was a student, I was not a banker. When I was a sales executive, I was not a massage therapist. When I was a detective agent, I was not a hairdresser. When I was a boxer, I was not a joker. When I was a blogger, I was not an author. And now, when I am a sage, I do not know what I will become next.
More importantly, don’t argue with others about my one particular character. Maybe you have not seen that side of my character, but someone else has deeply experienced it.
I was born into a modest Maharashtrian family. My ancestors carried the Brahmin surname “Khot,” though over generations the family diversified into farming and service professions.
My mother, Kamal, was a retired Anganwadi worker, and my father, Kailas, passed away in 2001. My younger brother, Sachin, is an employee. My paternal grandfather worked in a Mumbai textile mill, while my maternal grandfather worked as a fitter in the BEST government transport service.
My early life was deeply shaped by instability, poverty, and emotional separation. I have remained closely connected with my mother’s family, while having little connection with my father’s side. Today, I live with my mother and younger brother in Navi Mumbai.
I was born on 2 July 1989, in Ghatkopar, Mumbai. My native village is Aswalewadi, 32 Shirala, Sangli, Maharashtra.
Due to poverty and family crisis, at the age of 5, I was sent to an orphanage in Pune for seven years. Those years were harsh. I was mischievous, rebellious, and unwilling to tolerate injustice. I was frequently punished. The orphanage administration even attempted to expel me twice, but my mother, unable to raise me at that time, requested that I be allowed to stay.
At age 11, I was told that a foster family wanted to adopt me. Later I realised they were seeking labor, not a son. That moment shattered me — but it also awakened something powerful inside. I took a silent vow:
“Today, no one accepts me. One day, I will give the world such a gift that it will accept me — not as a servant, but as a force.”
At age 12, I began visiting a Ram temple at 5 AM for Kakad Aarti. Initially, I went for prasad. But soon the questions arose: Who is God? What is Dharma? What is existence? At that age, without guidance, I decided I would become a researcher of God.
My formal education included schooling across Pune and Mumbai, 11th–12th in Accounting & Finance, and B.Com Graduation (2010) from Karmaveer Bhaurao Patil College, Navi Mumbai.
Beyond formal education, I acquired skills across a vast range of disciplines:
| Year | Skill |
|---|---|
| 2008 | Computer & typing |
| 2012 | Massage & spa therapy |
| 2014 | Website development & digital marketing |
| 2019 | Boxing — 2 professional bouts |
| 2022 | KP Astrology |
I also travelled over 160,000 km across India on a bike, studying civilization, culture, religion, and psychology firsthand.
From age 15 onward, I worked across dozens of industries — not merely to earn, but to understand economics, human psychology, systems, and survival structures from the ground level. All of this work was part of my research — if I had not done it, I would not have gained the experience and wisdom about Sanatan Dharma and human existence that I have today.
I also did some jobs that I left before receiving my salary, so I never got paid for them. I have not mentioned those jobs here.
Between 2013–2022, under my brand LICKSPA, I explored Kaamashastra through adult consensual service work. This phase was part of my research into intimacy, desire, psychology, and human emotional patterns. In 2022, I permanently closed that chapter of my life.
Working in different fields was both my choice and my necessity. I wanted a good job, but my resume often failed me in interviews. So, whenever I got work, even if I had never done it or did not like it, I did it and learned along the way.
Most people learn a skill first and then search for a job. I search for the job first and learn the skill while doing it. Even today, I may take a job I have never done or do not like if it helps me understand Sanatan Dharma and human existence.
My spiritual path has not been one of renunciation — it is that of a Grihastha Rishi (householder sage). Just as my working life was not separate chapters but one continuous research, this spiritual journey too has been one connected unfolding — each stage leading into the next.
| Period | Milestone |
|---|---|
| Childhood | Deep meditation practice began early in life |
| 2016 | Shift from atheism to theism; moment of deep self-realisation. A calling to write scripture was felt, though at this point there was no clarity on how much to write or which subjects to cover |
| 2016–2021 | During this period, I wrote a basic, foundational book that touched on all subjects only briefly — this process shaped and deepened my own understanding |
| 2020 | Kundalini awakening |
| 2021 | Sanyasi lifestyle research in Rishikesh; stayed at Gita Bhawan ashram, where exact clarity arrived — the defined vision of writing 12 specific scriptures, each with its subject clearly decided |
| 2021 | Tantra and Aghori exposure at Kamakhya |
| 2024 | Powerful multidimensional spiritual vision regarding cosmic creation |
| 2025 | Naga Sadhu research during Kumbh Mela |
Past and present are not two different things. Past is the reason present exists, and present is what builds the future. Every role I played, every hardship I faced, every place I travelled — all of it was necessary. None of it was a mistake, none of it needs an explanation. That is how I gained the understanding of Sanatan Dharma and human existence that I carry today.
Since 2024, I have stopped all commercial services, professional jobs, and business — and dedicated myself fully to writing and website development. I still consider myself a lifelong student — there is much more to learn, understand, and experience.
Over the years, I have researched across diverse fields of human knowledge and experience:
Done
Ongoing
Incomplete
Some topics still haven’t come to my mind. Once they do, I will research them with the same passion. If any topic you think is important is missing — let me know. Maybe you could become my next teacher, or I could become your student.
Since 2016, I have undertaken extensive solo bike pilgrimages across India on my Hero Splendour (2006 model). Traveling thousands of kilometers has been my living university.
Bharat Tirtha Yatra — Bike Travel Timeline
In 2012, I was working in a field job at Shriram Finance. The company required me to get a bike. No bike, no job. So I bought a second-hand bike to keep my job.
In 2016, I started travelling all over India with the same 2006 Hero Splendour. The condition of the bike was not good. The bike broke down on almost every trip. Still, I used the same bike for every trip because somehow every trip became successful.
From 2016 to 2020, I was mainly travelling from one state to another state by bike. I was not going to temples. From 2021 to 2025, I started travelling from one temple to another temple to collect evidence and understand Sanatan Dharma.
After giving money for household expenses, I usually had around ₹10,000 left. I had three options: spend ₹5,000 on shopping, spend ₹5,000 on bike repair, or put the money into petrol and travel across India. I used to spend around ₹1,000 on shopping, around ₹1,000 on bike servicing, and the remaining money on petrol.
I did not have money for hotels, so I used to sleep at petrol pumps. In the morning, I used to take bath in the petrol pump toilet and start my journey again.
Whenever a client gave me a tip, I did not see that money as money. I used to see petrol for my bike trip. If I got ₹500 extra, I used to see ₹500 as petrol for 300 km of travel.
My 2006 Hero Splendour was not just my bike. It became my travel companion. India became my classroom, and travelling became my living university.
My mother always says that my bike is my wife because without my bike I never travel anywhere. My bike always takes me wherever I want to go and brings me back home safely.
My bike’s wheel rims were bent, the handle was bent, the drum brake was worn out, the battery was damaged, the headlight was bent, the suspension was damaged, the speedometer was not working, and there were no indicators. The chain and bearings used to break on almost every trip.
During my journeys, I gave lifts to around 1,000 people. The problem was that whenever someone asked me for a lift, I could not say no. Sometimes I had to say no when people asked for a lift because the bike chain had become so loose that it used to come off every 200 metres. And honestly, much of it was my own mistake. I used to ride 1,000 km nonstop and forget to do basic servicing and chain tightening.
During one trip, the chassis broke from underneath at 60 km/h — the bike nearly split in two. That day I promised myself: no lifts until I bought a new bike. But every time I hit the road, I forgot that promise. I love riding my bike, and I love giving people lifts during my journey.
I am still a student. There is much more to learn, understand, and experience. My path is not one of arrival — it is one of endless becoming. Every road I have traveled, every person I have met, every scripture I have studied, and every hardship I have endured has been part of this lifelong mission. My mother always asks when my studies will end, and I always say: lifelong study.
