In 2021, Professor Gupta is publishing twelve self-authored books under project “Vastly Integrated Processes Inside Nature” (VIPIN), that integrate vast realms of ancient Indian wisdom and modern science and address major metaphysical gaps in both by illuminating the secret of natural essence and essential nature. He has been asked by many that how he got on this path. Here is what he says.

“I have accepted all of all ancient and derived Indian writings and international scientific works as my gurus and continue to learn from them, based on what they have experienced and communicated. The fundamental Indian philosophy is that a guru wishes his or her disciple to rise to a level of perfection above him or her. The perfection of the Almighty Creator is beyond what can be experienced. It can only be enjoyed as an enjoyer. The greater the perfection in enjoying the essential nature of the Almighty Creation, the greater the perfection in being an Almighty Creature who has the power to script the perfection perfectly. Perfect perfection as an enjoyer is the key to perfect knowing and articulation of the perfect knowledge that leads to that perfect knowing. And, it is only with the blessings of all the gurus, alive or not, objects or subjects, that one enjoys the fruits of their hard work as a sadhak and the power as a siddha to transcend beyond what they accomplished.”

Professor Gupta has mastered this method through many decades of practice and enjoyed the benefit of the digital age. Therefore, he goes beyond what is out there and known.
