Atlanta, GA, June 18, 2025: The Main Bhi Arjun Universe is more than just a series of movies—it’s a spiritual journey told through film. Inspired by the real-life story of young Parv Thacker and the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, the series tells the story of a regular child born with clubfoot who doesn’t let his condition define him. This is a world where music has deep meaning, storytelling brings healing, and ancient values like dharma are part of daily life.
Alongside the films, the Thacker family has written a series of educational books that combine medical knowledge with spiritual teachings. These books help readers build emotional strength, stay healthy, and live with strong values.
This powerful mix of art and purpose is not a one-time thing. It is part of a bigger mission led by the Thacker family from Gujarat. While the world runs after money and success, the Thackers have chosen a different path—one that focuses on healing, tradition, and helping people. From medical care to making movies, their work covers many areas and combines India’s ancient wisdom with today’s knowledge in medicine, education, and music therapy.
During a recent trip to Atlanta, Dr. Krupesh Thacker sat down for an exclusive interview with NRI Pulse. The meeting was arranged by Mustafa Ajmeri, CEO of Global Entertainment and Media Services.
Dr. Krupesh Thacker—who also goes by Dr. Kesh Tucker—started his journey as a medical student. But everything changed when he went through a personal struggle with depression. Even though he was doing well in his studies and had friends around him, he felt emotionally empty. Then he found healing through music. “Though I was surrounded by people and academic success, I felt isolated and emotionally exhausted,” he said. Writing and composing music helped him heal. “Music didn’t just comfort me—it healed me.”
What began as a way to help himself grew into a larger mission: Music Therapy for All: Let the Music Heal. This program is part of the Krup Music Therapy Clinic & Research Centre and the Give Vacha Foundation. “If music could heal me, it could help many others—people dealing with anxiety, pain, sadness, or even feeling lost,” he said.
Today, the program offers healing through music to those struggling with emotional or mental pain—like stress, trauma, grief, or feeling like life has no purpose.
A highly creative person, Dr. Thacker has written over 1,000 songs, published more than 30 books, and leads the Parv Fusion Band—a group of artists from different generations who blend traditional Indian music with modern styles. His well-known works include The Arjun Uvacha series, Gunje Gita Jeevan Ma, The Love Gatha, and The Prem Saga. He wears many hats—singer, songwriter, producer, filmmaker, and life coach—and is building what he calls The Krup Universe, a world of healing through creativity. His motto: “The one-liner that defines my success is—‘i’ should always be small.”
Dr. Thacker’s work has been recognized by the Chief Minister and Health Minister of Gujarat. He has been appointed Global Ambassador for both the Bhagavad Gita and Clubfoot Awareness. He also serves as Festival Director for events like Gita Jayanti Parv 2024, Krup Literature Festival, and Global Music & Film Festival. He has been named one of the Top 10 Global Music Therapy Experts. He often tells youth, “Be the Arjun of your own story. You don’t need a perfect start. You need courage, clarity, and character.”
His wife, Dr. Pooja Thacker, is a well-respected Ayurvedic doctor, known for her work in Garbh Sanskar, women’s wellness, senior care, and emotional health. With over 15 years of experience, she is the Community Health Director of Krup Health and a key leader in the Give Vacha Foundation. Her calm and caring approach has helped bring holistic health and prevention into the spotlight. She leads the Gujarat chapter of the Global Clubfoot Awareness Parv and has been honored by both the Gujarat Ministry of Health and the International Ayurveda Summit 2023 for her work in emotional and women’s health. She plays an important role in the family’s goal of balanced, complete wellness.
This goal is also embraced by the next generation. At only 12 years old, Vacha Thacker is already a talented writer and music director. She is India’s youngest author to publish books in multiple languages and the youngest music director for films. She wrote Sanatan Word Search and Gita Word Search—books that help young readers learn about Indian culture. She is the Literature Ambassador of the Global Literature & Cultural Club and the USA Chapter Goodwill Ambassador for Clubfoot Awareness. She has been praised by government leaders and international literary groups. Whether she’s writing or performing, her words and songs show deep maturity and passion.
Then there is Parv Thacker, the young boy who inspired the Main Bhi Arjun Universe. Born with clubfoot, Parv didn’t see it as a problem. Instead, he believed it was his life’s purpose. At just seven years old, he has already released more than 50 music albums, acted in several films, and become the Global Ambassador for Clubfoot Awareness Parv. He was honored by Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendrabhai Patel as a “youngest changemaker” and recognized by Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi. Parv is also the Bhagavad Gita Ambassador for the Give Vacha Foundation because of his efforts to spread spiritual values through music.
The Global Clubfoot Awareness Parv, started by the Thacker family in 2017, is based on their belief that “God Is In Your Attitude.” This program uses books, films, counseling, and music to support children with clubfoot. It mixes medical knowledge with inspiring stories. Campaigns like Gunje Gita—a live musical recital of the Gita led by Parv and Vacha—and their educational books bring hope, strength, and awareness.
Through Krup Health, Drs. Krupesh and Pooja offer services that cover all five parts of wellness: physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual. Their work includes therapy sessions, school programs, help for addiction recovery, senior citizen care, and women’s health services. Their method is all about combining old and new ways to support full well-being.
Their teaching efforts continue through Krup Academy and partner platforms that act like a modern-day Gurukul. This learning model brings together Indian scriptures, Sanskrit, classical arts, literature, film-making, and wellness to offer a deep and well-rounded education.
Looking forward, the Thacker family is ready to take their mission to the world. Through the Parv Fusion Band, new chapters in the Main Bhi Arjun Universe, and international editions of the Krup Literature and Global Music & Film Festivals, they aim to reach more people across the globe. Their international work in music therapy and clubfoot awareness hopes to touch more lives and spread kindness and awareness.
As Dr. Krupesh Thacker said, “We’re just getting started. Our next chapters will continue to blend creativity with consciousness—as a family, and as a mission.” Their journey is more than a story—it’s a living movement. Rooted in seva (service), sanskar (values), and spiritual strength, the Thacker family is showing what it truly means to live a meaningful life.
“Shraddha gives knowledge. Bhakti gives direction. Karma gives transformation.”
The Thackers don’t just say these words—they live them. And through each song, story, and act of service, they encourage the world to do the same.
