In the opening segment of the podcast, the host congratulates Ishanji on the release of his debut book, The Practice of Immortality, and shares enthusiasm about its reception. The host highlights Ishanji’s diverse public persona—urban monk, spiritual leader, mental‑health researcher, and family man—and asks him to introduce himself to a first‑time listener. Ishanji briefly acknowledges the compliment, setting the stage for a deeper conversation about his work, meditation practice, and the concept of mastery.

I'd like to congratulate you, Ishanji, on becoming an author, as you have just launched your first book called The Practice of Immortality. I've had the privilege of reading it. It's absolutely amazing, and I've heard great reviews about it.
Thank you so very much. I'm glad you liked it.
Okay, you are known as an urban monk, a spiritual leader, and you're a very esteemed mental health researcher, and you're also a family man. But if you were to introduce yourself to someone meeting you for the first time, How would you describe yourself?
So I would describe myself as a meditation enthusiast that believes in the human potential. Because when we are talking about the human potential, you will find there are so many schools of thought. Some people are trying to reverse the aging process, some people are trying to hack their brains. Through exercise, through nutraceuticals. And everybody has their own methodology with which they want to work upon the human potential. I am the same, but the tool that I use to improve the human potential is meditation.
