The founder of Konar Academy Charitable Trust (KACT).
KACT, is established for the promotion of the right education, through the knowledge given by swamiji. Promoting the Intellect development, self management and the philosophy of Advaita Vedanta is his lifetime goal.
Inspired by the Life and Teachings of Swami A. Parthasarathy, affectionately called as Swamiji, K Raghurama Reddy, a disciple of swamiji since 2007, along with few more disciples, established this KACT, a public charitable Trust, as Guru Dakshina (Gratitude to Teacher).
The primary objective of the Trust is to reach out to the youth with the profound wisdom of this Ancient Philosophy- The Art of Living ; The Art of being Eternal.
K Raghurama Reddy, a university Gold medalist in Mechanical Engineering, after 15 years of successful career in HMT, (a Navaratna company), started Konar Engineering Services
He is responsible for establishing high precision deep drawing technology for the first time in the country. Today Konar is one of the largest facilities in the country for not only precision deep drawing but also for high precision stamped parts. Konar is known all over the world as a reliable, efficient supplier.
After enjoying and understanding the limitations of the worldly accomplishments, the quest for eternal truth, brought him to Vedanta Academy
The baffling truths of life and beyond, unearthed by Swamiji, through the art of direct scientific teaching, leaving no doubts, had profound effect on K Raghurama Reddy's perception of life, living and beyond. Swamiji gives one Mantra for all problems of Life; ‘Development of Intellect’, through structured intake of knowledge.
The KACT facility is housed at Satsanga Bhavana, at HSR layout, Bangalore, India.
