Both “Death” and the “Infinite” are very deep topics and it will be interesting to hear the views of the esteemed panellists on the same.
In "Seeking the Infinite", Yakub Mathew brings together a profound collection of essays, dialogues, and reflections from spiritual leaders, thinkers, and seekers who gathered at the Maha Kumbh 2025.
More than an anthology, this book is a living chronicle of encounters where faith traditions meet in humility and the sacred becomes a shared language.
From riverside rituals to rooftop conversations, Yakub captures the Kumbh not as spectacle, but as a crucible of human yearning—for meaning, belonging, and transcendence.
Through stories of interfaith connection and quiet gestures of devotion, Seeking the Infinite invites readers to ask: What does it mean to belong to the sacred in a fractured world?
Whether seeker, scholar, or sceptic, readers will find in these pages a contemplative lens on India’s spiritual heartbeat—and the global soul it awakens.
Yakub Mathew is a global financial leader and transformational thinker with over three decades of experience across Citibank, HSBC, and Wells Fargo Advisors.
A postgraduate in Economics from Madras University, an undergraduate in Economics Honors from St. Stephen’s College, Delhi, and an MBA from the Asian Institute of Management, Manila, Yakub is known for his purpose-driven leadership and cross-cultural vision.
"Seeking the Infinite" marks his literary debut — an exploration of faith, humility, and the shared human quest for the sacred.
