Biography

Kedar Joshi was born in Mahim, Bombay (now Mumbai) on 31 December 1979^[5] in a middle class Chitpavan Brahmin family. He completed his school education in Balmohan Vidyamandir in Dadar^[15] and higher education in Sir Parshurambhau College in Pune^[16], receiving a Bachelor of Science in electronics in 2001^[17][18] and a Master of Arts in philosophy in 2003^[19][20] from the University of Pune. From March 2004 to March 2006, he lived and worked in Cambridge, England^{[21][22][23][24]} on a working holiday visa^[25].^[14] There, at St John's Innovation Centre, he created a Cambridge Network member organization named British Superultramodern Scientific Institution (BSSI)^{[26][27][28][29][30]}, also sometimes given as Superultramodern Scientific Institution (SSI).^[21] 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.^{[14][31][32][33]}

Joshi has self-published a number of books on his views of physics, mathematics, and the NSTP.^[34][35][36] 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”.^[14]
