 About Me |
Happiness lies in accepting life. That moment of pure acceptance gives birth to a flame of compassion that is not about getting, wanting, or wishing but rather about the most sincere simplicity -- a simplicity of the heart that knows no fears, feels no hatred, and manifests the purest spirit of service. Those moments are my inspiration. I am determined to live simply and love purely.
Practical stuff: Graduate of UC Berkeley in Computer Science and Philosophy, Nipun started CharityFocus at the age of 23. His conviction to be of service to those around him, coupled with an internal spiritual drive, led him to quit his full-time career as a Software Engineer at Sun, by the age of 24. Currently, he works part of the the year to sustain himself and dedicates the rest of his time to volunteer activities. Apart from CharityFocus, he serves on the board of the Seva Foundation, IGC (Institute For Global Communications), Airline Ambassadors, and Silicon Valley Volunteer Center.
Nipun has been featured in all kinds of media, including half hour interview on CNN International. In June 2001, he received the prestigious Jefferson award in Washington, D.C. for his committment to volunteerism. However, to Nipun, service is independent of achievements, accolades, and organizations; it is a mindset for every circumstance, a state of being in every moment.
