Vanakkam, Namaste, Namaskara, Aloha and Hello!

It’s me, MaGa. Welcome to my personal website.

Madan Ganesh (MaGa) Velayudham

Iraivan means Supreme God

I share the teachings of my Guru as a heartfelt tribute, along with my reflections and experience. I cover the following topics:

  1. Building habits to become a leader
  2. Starting up
  3. Parenting
  4. Mindfulness – How to be a captain cool
  5. Realizing that God lives within each of us—whether we recognize it or not.

You’ve arrived here for a reason—there are no coincidences. Perhaps the universe has something meaningful to share with you today. Take a moment to explore and discover what resonates with your journey. 😊

Since mid-2024, I’ve poured my heart into writing over 100 thoughtful articles on topics close to my soul: spirituality, startups, parenting, career growth, and the art of nurturing positive habits.

This space is a collection of personal reflections and valuable lessons from my life’s journey, crafted to inspire and connect.
