My Story

About Milinnd: A Journey from Teacher to Learning Pioneer

My name is Milinnd, and my journey to this place has been anything but linear. For over three decades, I’ve lived at the crossroads of science, art, and philosophy—a path that took me from a Physics and Chemistry teacher with a deep love for mathematics, to a passionate student of data science at the age of 54. This journey, filled with its own peaks and challenges, revealed a single, powerful truth: the greatest skill we can ever master isn’t a subject, but the very process of learning itself.

From Rote Learning to Resilience

My mission was born from a frustration I saw in the eyes of countless students—the brilliant ones, the ones struggling, and everyone in between. They were being taught to memorize facts, but not how to truly think. My own pursuit of a Master’s degree in a completely new field later in life only reinforced this. It taught me that real learning isn’t just about the neocortex absorbing data; it’s a holistic process that engages our entire being. It’s about building emotional resilience (the mammalian brain) and finding a grounded perspective (the reptilian brain) to support our logical thought.

This is the foundation of the “Whole Brain Student” philosophy—a framework designed to turn a student’s stress into resilience and their confusion into clarity.

The Meaning Behind the Name

The name of this space, Abhidnya, comes from a powerful Sanskrit term meaning “all-knowledgeable.” It is a name that represents not a state of being, but a lifelong promise and a pursuit. It is the core of our philosophy: that the journey to knowledge is a noble one, and that with the right tools, every person is capable of profound understanding.

The minddune brand, with its focus on “the lenses of the senses,” is the creative and philosophical heart of this mission. It is here that we explore the emotional and intuitive side of learning, celebrating the uniqueness of every individual’s perception and story.

My life has been a testament to the idea that the greatest challenges lead to the deepest insights. I am here not just to teach subjects, but to guide you in mastering the beautiful, complex, and lifelong journey of learning.
