Captain JV Avadhanulu VSM (Indian Navy) Retd (Facilitator)
I lost two academic years due to ill-health and graduated in 1970 from AUEC. Despite that, I did
not learn my lessons and change my life style. In 1987, I was airlifted from INS Darshak and was
diagnosed with four incurable diseases. The prognosis was that I would live for 7 more years, at
the most. Recuperating my health and rebuilding my life was a transformational experience
that also kindled my interest in the science and art of wellbeing. I quit my professional career in
2007 to explore alternate modes of living in Auroville and found a new purpose of my life in
sharing what helped me. I have been conducting retreats/ workshops / courses at IIM Indore,
MAHE, IMT (Nagpur), ITM(Gwalior) and a number of other institutions, corporates and
organizations in India and abroad. More than 10,000 people from more than 40 countries
attended my events in India and abroad.
Prior to living in Auroville, I had a successful career of over 37 years that spanned various roles
in the Indian Navy, academia and top-R&D management of high-tech Indian industries and
multi-nationals. I was awarded Jain Memorial Gold Medal by the Chief of Naval Staff for
innovative design in 1984 and Visisht Seva Medal by the President of India for distinguished
service in 1985.
