Yogesh Kumar began his Vipassana journey in January 2020 through a 10-day meditation course in Haryana. Alongside residential courses, he also completed Pāli–Hindi and Pāli–English self-study programs through the Vipassana Research Institute. While his introduction to Vipassana started in 2020, his practice became significantly more serious and consistent from January 2023 onward.

From 2023 to 2026, all of his major Vipassana courses — including multiple 10-day courses, a Satipatthana course, and seva training — were completed at Dhamma Hitkari Rohtak. This period marked a deeper phase of disciplined practice, observation, and long-term commitment to Vipassana meditation.

He observed that life keeps moving through cycles — birth and death, highs and lows, attachment and separation, energy and exhaustion. Through meditation, silence, and long periods of self-reflection, Yogesh Kumar gradually noticed how emotions, relationships, identity, and ways of thinking keep changing over time instead of remaining permanent.

He also observed similar patterns within nature through seasonal cycles, aging, decay, renewal, and transformation. The idea of impermanence emerged not as a belief system, but as an observable characteristic of life itself. 

By examining both inner experience and the natural world, he explored how awareness of change may gradually influence one’s relationship with emotions, uncertainty, and suffering.

He observed how discipline, routine, silence, minimal living, and reduced digital stimulation may gradually influence the human mind and behavior over time. 

Through meditation and long-term self-observation, Yogesh Kumar explored concepts related to neuroplasticity, attention, emotional regulation, and behavioral conditioning.

He also studied how repeated reactions, habits, distractions, and compulsive thinking can shape everyday behavior. Through structured practice and observation, he examined how consistency, silence, and reduced sensory overload may affect awareness, focus, and emotional responses.

He studied the works of Carl Jung in detail, particularly Jung’s ideas related to individuation, the anima and animus, the shadow, and the unconscious dimensions of human behavior. Over time, Yogesh Kumar explored how inner psychological patterns, relationships, dreams, symbols, and emotional projections may influence personal identity and self-understanding.

Through self-observation, reflection, and lived experience, he gradually connected several of Jung’s concepts with changes occurring within his own life. The process of individuation — understood as the integration of different aspects of the psyche into a more conscious and balanced self — became an important area of psychological and philosophical exploration in his journey.

He studied how attention, routine, lifestyle, and digital habits are changing human behavior in the modern Indian context. Yogesh Kumar explored the effects of smartphones, distraction, reduced attention span, and continuous stimulation on focus, immersion, and everyday life.

Drawing from both Eastern and Western perspectives, he also examined concepts such as flow, effortless work, discipline, and mindful living. Through long-term observation and self-reflection, he explored how routine, reduced distraction, and intentional attention may influence clarity, productivity, and psychological well-being.

He observed and studied various forms of signs, synchronicities, repeating number patterns, unusual coincidences, and emotionally meaningful events that appeared across different phases of life. Yogesh Kumar explored how human beings often search for meaning and connection within seemingly unrelated experiences, symbols, timings, relationships, and recurring situations.

He also examined related psychological and philosophical concepts such as pattern recognition, symbolic interpretation, intuition, projection, and meaningful coincidence. Rather than approaching such experiences through blind belief or rigid dismissal, he explored them through long-term observation, reflection, and personal experience.

He experienced the importance of hope, resilience, and inner stability during difficult phases of life marked by uncertainty, emotional struggle, and prolonged self-reflection. Through these experiences, Yogesh Kumar explored how individuals continue moving forward through meaning, purpose, discipline, and the search for psychological clarity even under challenging circumstances.

He also deeply reflected on existential questions such as “Who am I?”, “What is the right direction?”, and “What gives life meaning?” Drawing from observation, lived experience, and philosophical inquiry, he explored how identity, purpose, suffering, and personal direction evolve over time rather than remain fixed.

He explored ideas related to interconnection, quantum analogies, and human experience from a grounded and observation-based perspective. Yogesh Kumar did not believe in supernatural phenomena merely through belief systems or external claims, but became interested in certain concepts after personally experiencing noticeable psychological, behavioral, and physical changes through disciplined practice and long-term self-observation.

During his Vipassana courses and periods of minimal living, he observed experiences related to attention, the observer effect as a philosophical analogy, routine-based transformation, silence, flow states, fasting-related discipline, and bodily changes associated with practices often connected to concepts such as autophagy. These experiences gradually influenced his lifestyle, physical appearance, routines, and approach toward simplicity and minimalism.
