Businessman,
Spiritualist, Philanthropist and Family
Man
The sudden death of
his best friend at the age of eight
sparked a burning desire in Marko to
find out the meaning of life. This
earnest search resulted in him becoming
a monk at the age of twenty one when he
renounced all worldly attachments and
dedicated his life to the selfless
service of humanity.
After a number of years, Marko made the
decision to explore the world outside of
the monastic life and gain an education.
This journey explored a more
materialistic and adventurous lifestyle,
yet one still deeply grounded by his
spiritual values.
“When we embark upon a
spiritual path, it’s easy to take to
extremes,” says Marko, “my life story is
really about learning to tread the
middle path, of being in the world, yet
not of it.” Today, Marko is a settled
family man who feels that he is making a
meaningful contribution to society
through his
Regenesys
College which trains aspiring business
leaders on the role of spiritual and
emotional intelligence in the work
place.
Marko believes that a
disciplined lifestyle of
meditation, affirmations and a strict
vegetarian diet are what keep him
focused and centred, while his love for
extreme sports helps him to overcome
self-imposed limitations.
“People must overcome
their ‘poverty mentality’ which assumes
that you cannot be authentic unless you
are poor. What we need instead is an
abundance mentality, as the more money
you have, the more you are able to
meaningfully help others, provided that
your motives remain pure." |
