Biography

Kedar Joshi was born in Mahim, Bombay (now Mumbai) on 31 December 1979 in a middle class Chitpavan Brahmin family. He completed his school education in Balmohan Vidyamandir in Dadar and higher education in Sir Parshurambhau College in Pune, receiving a Bachelor of Science in electronics in 2001 and a Master of Arts in philosophy in 2003 from the University of Pune. From March 2004 to March 2006, he lived and worked in Cambridge, England on a working holiday visa. There, at St John's Innovation Centre, he created a Cambridge Network member organization named British Superultramodern Scientific Institution (BSSI), also sometimes given as Superultramodern Scientific Institution (SSI). He applied for asylum in the United Kingdom in January 2006. His application was refused and in March 2006 he was administratively removed to India.

Joshi has self-published a number of books on his views of physics, mathematics, and the NSTP. He states that “[t]he additional, higher order I see in my life – especially, and astonishingly convincingly, through Vedic astrology – further suggests that the superhuman mind has some philosophical purpose for being in control of my life”.
