Pulak was strongly influenced by his proximity to the Himalayan Masters from a young age, spending time in his adolescent years with Haidakhan Babaji where he was initiated to spiritual practices.
Pulak ascribes all his teaching, achievements, accomplishments and .healing powers, if any to the blessings of Babaji.
Pulak has also taken formal training in hatha yoga, during 84'-85' from Yogacharya Jayashankaran at Vemana Yoga Sanstha, Secunderabad in South India.
Pulak's continued association with the masters of Uttarakhand Himalayas, helped him unravel the deeper meaning of yoga and its relevance in contemporary life.
