Dr. Raj Kumar Mani | Podmasana | Ep. 4
Dr. Raj Kumar Mani, distinguished pulmonologist and critical care pioneer, discovered profound spiritual dimensions after devastating early losses—his father at 14, his mother at 23. In that grief, “a sense of an immense presence descended on me.” This awakening transformed how he practiced medicine, leading pioneering work in non-invasive ventilation, sleep medicine, and India’s landmark right-to-die legislation. Now he bridges clinical care with contemplative presence, finding the sacred in everyday moments and treating patients as whole persons. His journey reveals how yoga, poetry, and spiritual practice sustain a physician navigating life’s fragility and medicine’s demands.
