With SAHA’s association with the Non Profit Alliance of Consumer Advocates, hundreds of homeowners were helped either by free loan modifications or forcing the lenders to settle with them. In the process, he shaped himself into a proactive multifaceted leader.

His philosophy of life is like a river – it meets many obstacles in its path, yet it flows in harmony, converging with other streams while adding power to its flow. He is the author of a number of prominent books such as “Foreclosures: How to Prevent, Stop, Beat and Survive,” and “The River Flows.” For him, spiritualism is the most advanced science. His spiritual quest began at the age of seven with the reading of the books in a hermit’s ashram near his village, walking to and from every day along the river to the ashram until he had read every book in the hermit’s library.
