Madhava Kumar Turumella is a London-based author, poet, philosopher, and scholar of Hinduism whose work bridges ancient spiritual wisdom with modern scientific thought. With decades of experience as a senior technical architect in the Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance industries, he brings a rare combination of analytical precision and metaphysical depth to his writing.

He is the author of Humans Without Borders, a groundbreaking non-fiction work that reinterprets Hindu philosophy through a unique four-quadrant model of human behavior; The Riddles of Destiny, a gripping philosophical sci-fi thriller weaving Eastern metaphysics with suspense and moral inquiry; Birds of Destiny, a reflective work of visionary fiction exploring consciousness and divine purpose; and Planet of CiEs – Exploring Reincarnation, Karma and Aliens on Earth, a bold philosophical investigation into the idea that all living beings are Conscious Intergalactic Entities (CiEs) — cosmic intelligences entangled within Earth’s evolutionary field.

Across his writings, Madhava explores profound themes such as karma, reincarnation, Advaita, interdimensional life, and the unity of consciousness. His books blend poetry, philosophy, and speculative science, inviting readers to look beyond material boundaries and rediscover the spiritual architecture of existence.

Madhava has served in several key leadership roles within interfaith and Hindu scholarly circles — including Vice-Chairman of the British Board of Hindu Scholars, Vice-President of the Hindu Forum of Britain, and Vice-Chairman of the Council of Dharmic Faiths (UK). He was the first person to deliver a Sanskrit speech in the UK Parliament and has represented Hindu philosophy at the United Nations, where he spoke on interfaith harmony and global peace.

An award-winning poet and essayist writing in both English and Telugu, Madhava is also the author of a published commentary on a section of the Yajurveda and the founder of a UK-based Hindu think-tank devoted to spiritual dialogue and philosophical inquiry.

He lives in London and spends his free time exploring sacred sites, reflecting on world philosophy, and crafting stories that awaken deeper truths about the human journey.
