IIT Baba Becomes a Star Attraction at Mahakumbh

The ongoing Mahakumbh in Prayagraj has become a confluence of saints, sages, and devotees from across India, gathering for the sacred rituals and spiritual awakening. Among the various unique personalities attending the event, one figure has caught everyone’s attention—IIT Baba, also known as Abhay Singh, an IIT Bombay graduate who left a promising career in aerospace engineering to embrace spirituality.

Hailing from Haryana, Abhay Singh, once a corporate professional, decided to walk away from a life of science and technology to delve into spirituality. Popularly referred to as Engineer Baba as well, his journey from a tech-savvy lifestyle to a spiritually enriched one has intrigued many.

From Engineer to Sage

Abhay spent four years at IIT Bombay, pursuing aerospace engineering. He even secured a corporate job through campus placements and worked for a few years before realizing that the materialistic life didn’t bring him fulfillment. Passionate about travel photography, he decided to pursue a professional course in the field, which led him to introspect deeply about life.

Despite success in academics and professional coaching in physics, Abhay felt an inner void, pushing him towards spirituality. Today, he dedicates his life to understanding and teaching the deeper truths of existence, blending scientific wisdom with spiritual knowledge.

A Blend of Science and Spirituality

An ardent devotee of Lord Shiva, IIT Baba believes in interpreting spirituality through a scientific lens. Speaking about his journey, he mentioned that the more he delved into spiritual truths, the more he realized the omnipresence of Shiva. "Shiva is the ultimate reality, and the child within is a miracle," he says.

IIT Baba communicates fluently in English and captivates devotees at Mahakumbh with his unique approach, combining science, meditation, and ancient philosophies.

Social Media Presence

With over 29,000 followers on Instagram, IIT Baba shares insights on meditation, yoga, ancient scriptures, and spiritual practices. His posts reflect his philosophy of combining modern knowledge with age-old spiritual wisdom. He described the serene atmosphere of Mahakumbh as deeply peaceful, offering solace to the mind and heart.

IIT Baba’s journey from a corporate professional to a spiritual guide continues to inspire and attract thousands, making him a standout figure in the grand spiritual gathering of Mahakumbh.
