Mohanji - adding value to the world
A global humanitarian, philanthropist and spiritual guide whose one motivation is to add value to every life he touches - and the vision behind Mohanji Datta Tapovan, Ganeshpuri.
A global advocate for humanity
Mohanji is a global advocate for humanity, peace and personal growth, who transcends cultural and social barriers to promote the universal values of kindness and non-violence. His lead motivation is simple: to add value to the world. With non-profit initiatives across six continents, he empowers thousands to make a positive impact.
As a global leader, Mohanji inspires a shift from “me” to “we” - fostering kindness, compassion and selflessness, and teaching the transformative power of non-violence and authentic self-expression. A family man at heart, he is married to Devi Mohan, with whom he shares their daughter Mila.
I am what you consider me to be.- Mohanji
Mohanji invites each of us to unlock the power of mental freedom - to live fully in the moment, free from mental clutter and inherited norms. Living by example, he says true mastery is mastering your own mind.
His approach, which he calls Pathlessness, is a non-dogmatic yet profound spirituality that embraces naturalness, spontaneity and curiosity - a rediscovery of the joy of living with the wonder of a child, without judgements or preconceptions.
