Rahul Verma is a humanitarian, spiritual worker, and a devoted follower of Neem Karoli Baba. He is the founder of the Uday Foundation, a nonprofit organisation named after his son, who was born with multiple congenital defects. The New York Times has described him as a 'Man's Stand Against Junk Food as Diabetes Climbs Across India,' featuring his story on its front page.[2][3]

Rahul turned to spiritual practices in search of inner peace. In 2013, while meditating in Rishikesh, he encountered the teachings of Neem Karoli Baba, which profoundly resonated with him. Inspired by this divine connection, Rahul embraced regular meditation, leading to significant transformations in his life, including the improved health of his son, Arjunuday.[4]

As his devotion to Neem Karoli Baba deepened, Rahul established the NKB Divine Meditation Centre in Delhi in 2024, following a transformative spiritual experience. Rahul now dedicates his life to these teachings, emphasising meditation, service, and the promotion of love and positive change.[5]
