Why Reel Puraan exists
Reel Puraan began in late 2025 with a single video on Hanuman ji. His devotion to Ram moved me deeply, and I wanted to share that story and what it teaches us.
That first video became a channel, and the channel grew along with the questions people brought to it. Mythology is still where everything starts, because these stories hold some of the oldest answers we have about how to live. But the questions are bigger now: how to lead, how to keep relationships strong, how to understand your own mind, and how to keep growing.
So Reel Puraan has become a place for all of that. On the channel, I tell stories in plain, spoken Hinglish and explain every term from zero. On the podcast, I sit down with authors, leaders and thinkers who share their real stories, their opinions and what they have learned about leadership, relationships, mental awareness and self-growth.
The idea behind the tagline has not changed. Ancient wisdom was never meant to be taken on blind faith alone. Ask the question, follow the logic, and see what it means for the life you live today.
My mission
To help this generation think clearer, live calmer and grow faster, using the best ideas of the past and the best conversations of today.
Gen Z and millennials grew up in a fast, loud world, and somewhere along the way the old knowledge got left behind. It did not stop being useful. Nobody just explained it in a language we speak. The Puranas, the Gita, our rituals and our stories carry real answers about attention, discipline, relationships and purpose. Many of us have forgotten them. Many of us were never taught them.
I want to bring that knowledge back with explanations that respect your intelligence. No sermons, no “just believe”. I explain what an idea actually says, why it was said, and whether it holds up in your life today.
The second part of the mission is the podcast. I want to have as many honest conversations as I can with people who have built something, lived through something, or thought hard about something: founders, authors, leaders and thinkers. Not for headlines. For the clarity that comes when someone says what they really learned.
Not every conversation will be about mythology, and that is on purpose. Ancient wisdom is one of the tools. The goal is clarity, for you and for me.
