Anand Shrikrishna, a former civil servant with 39 years of experience, has shifted his focus to writing, concentrating on spiritual and social themes. His interest in writing was piqued during a family ceremony as he realized the need for simplified spiritual texts.

Shrikrishna's journey through various meditation practices, including Ananda Marga and Reiki, eventually led him to Vipassana, where he found clarity and inspiration from Acharya S.N. Goenka. This led to his contributions to notable publications and the release of his own book.

Incorporating a conversational style, Shrikrishna's writing is grounded in the teachings of Buddha, emphasizing values like compassion and honesty. His book, 'Gautam Buddha aur unke Updesh', has reached significant popularity, demonstrating the appeal of his approach.
