Santhosh is a wonderful addition to the Naropa Fellowship professorial team, and emphases that we should know ourselves before extending ourselves into the world. He also teaches about the importance of solving the conflicts in our mind in order to turn vision into reality. As he states: "Whatever profession and job you do, it has to go with the core values you have.”
