They have both studied Indian Philosophy with Swami Dayananda Saraswati, a well known contemporary teacher of Advaita Vedanta (Non Duality) in the tradition of Adi Sankaracarya and a scholar in Sanskrit. In addition to the traditional Vedic studies, Neema Majmudar has number of years of experience as a professional with the United Nations in field of economic and social development in New York, Thailand and Fiji. She also has Masters Degree in International Affairs from Columbia University, New York and a MBA.

He worked for several years in L’Oreal Group and Air France in international marketing and strategic planning both in Paris and Bangkok. He has also attended an intensive executive training program at INSEAD School of Management.

They combine their understanding of modern society with the knowledge of Indian Philosophy in a unique manner to impart a wisdom that is highly relevant in present day. Since 1999, Neema and Surya have been giving conferences, conducting seminars and retreats across the world, both in English and French, in the domain of Personal Development and Philosophy. The seminars and retreats they conduct incorporate concepts of Indian Philosophy with Western Psychology, Ethics, Physics, Neurobiology and Management. These activities are aimed at guiding individuals and leaders of various organizations to be more objective, dynamic and compassionate in an increasingly interconnected and complex world.

They have created a bilingual website in French and English www.discovervedanta.com, which explains in a modern style the vision of the traditional teaching of Advaita Vedanta with numerous links to articles and videos of their talks.

A double DVD on ‘Discover Your Greatness: An Insight into the Timeless Teaching of the Bhagavad Gita’ was launched by them in 2011. This DVD consists of 23 videos of 10 minutes each. The verses are selected from different chapters in a way that by listening to this DVD of three and a half hours, the entire vision of Bhagavad Gita can be captured by a viewer.

Recently, the momentous task of French translation and publication of several books of Swami Dayananda Saraswati, namely the Value of Values; The fundamental Problem; Morning Meditations and Prayers is completed.

One of their latest accomplishments is authoring the book ‘Living the Vision of Oneness’, which expounds the ways in which the vision of Bhagavad Gita and Veda can be utilized in daily life.
