Lex Thakur was born into a Hindu family of gurus near Karachi in Sindh (now Pakistan). His father and forefathers were “gurus” of a sect of Hinduism. This Hindu sect dates back a few centuries when his ancestor was given the keys to rule and propagate the religion of this god who appeared to him. Following the partition of India, Lex Thakur's family moved to a town near Bombay, India with thousands of “chellas” (devotees/disciples) who were scattered throughout North India, Pakistan, and a few in the diaspora overseas. Lex currently resides in Manchster, UK with his Finnish wife Sointu and three children.
