Dhananjay Chavan practises psychiatry in Pune. He worked for several years on the project to digitize Pali Tipitaka and made presentations on this topic in international conferences. He counts Dr Ambedkar and Evolutionary Biology along with Acharya Goenka and Psychiatry as major influences on his quest to understand and follow the Buddha.
He has edited Dharmanand Kosambi’s Samadhimarg which is a treatise on meditation practices of the Buddha. He hopes to translate this into English in near future.
He is currently working on two books— one on simple principles for health and happiness for the elderly and the other for family members of people with dementia.
