He is also a primary member of the Stark Neuroscience Research Institute at the Indiana University School of Medicine. Prior to his tenure at IU, he was a faculty member at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, after completing training at New York University School of Medicine and McMaster University in Canada.

Dr. Lahiri has awarded continuous NIH funding for over three decades and has served on the scientific advisory boards of several pharmaceutical companies. He holds multiple U.S. patents and has published over 340 scientific articles.
Deb was born and raised in Varanasi. He learned Hinduism and Sanskrit from his father, the late Benoy Kumar Lahiri. From an early age, he was influenced by the teachings of Sri Ramakrishna and the writings of Swami Vivekananda, Rabindranath Tagore, and Tulsidas. He studied at the prestigious Banaras Hindu University and later pursued further education in the United States.
He was a past member of the Geeta Mandal and was elected President of its Executive Board. This organization later merged into the Hindu Temple of Central Indiana. He draws immense inspiration from the Bhagavad Gita and the profound teachings of Lord Krishna.
Today, he will speak on “Matter, Nature, and Savior”, drawing from the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita.
