Where VLSI Circuits Converse with Consciousness, Merging Energy, Frequency, and the Universal Vibration
What happens when a seasoned semiconductor engineer dares to question everything she’s ever learned—and takes a leap into a space where technology meets intuition, and logic flows with energy? You get Deepa Rajendra’s TEDx talk: “Go Against the Flow,” a bold narrative that shakes up the traditional way we think about innovation and engineering.
In her compelling and thought-provoking talk, Deepa posed a striking question:
“What if everything we’ve learned about success and logic is only half the truth?”
This wasn’t just a rhetorical flourish. It was an invitation—a nudge to peer beyond the strict lines of engineering and to see progress as more than just a linear equation. Instead, she urged us to see it as a dynamic blend of science and human consciousness.
From Nanoseconds to Neuroscience: A Journey Few Dare to Take
Deepa started her career in the high-pressure world of VLSI Physical Design, where precision is everything and nanoseconds can make or break systems. She worked with major tech names like Intel, Microchip, and Marvell, navigating layers of silicon and constraint files like second nature. But in the midst of clock trees and layout verifications, she sensed something deeper—something more subtle.
“I wasn’t just designing chips,” she said. “I was noticing patterns, energy shifts—something beyond just logic.”
That quiet realization nudged her off the traditional path and into areas like Graphology, Reiki, Aura Reading, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)—fields that many in the STEM world still see as unconventional, if not downright mystical. But for Deepa, these weren’t distractions. They were the missing links in a bigger picture.
Bridging Science and Spirit: A New Kind of Engineer
Most engineers focus on circuits, logic gates, and predictable systems. Deepa went beyond, diving into human behaviour—studying thousands of handwriting samples to uncover emotional patterns and subconscious traits. Reiki, the ancient practice of energy healing, taught her how unseen forces can shape our thoughts, wellness, and creativity. NLP gave her insight into how language influences behavior and decisions.
These experiences didn’t take her away from engineering—they deepened her understanding of it. She returned to complete her M.Tech in VLSI Design and Embedded Systems, contributing to cutting-edge semiconductor projects with fresh clarity. And through it all, she held onto one belief: technology isn’t just mechanical—it’s deeply connected to the metaphysical.
AURADEEPA: The Birth of a Conscious Tech Movement
This unique blend of science and spirit led to the creation of AURADEEPA, a platform Deepa founded to bridge energy sciences and engineering. Her mission? To help develop intuitive engineers and conscious creators. Through workshops and one-on-one consultations—combining Aura Scanning, Reiki, NLP, and Graphology—she guides individuals in aligning their inner strengths with outward innovation.
“We talk a lot about AI learning,” she said. “But what if AI could also feel? What if a circuit could evolve intuitively, not just follow code? That’s where the real future lies.”
Challenging the Status Quo: A Call to Rebels and Visionaries
Deepa’s TEDx talk wasn’t just uplifting—it was a challenge to the norm. She boldly claimed what few in the world of science and tech will admit: that intuition isn’t the opposite of innovation—it can actually fuel it.
“Going against the flow means letting go of the idea that science and spirit must be kept apart. It’s about redefining intelligence—not just by what we calculate, but also by what we sense, feel, and become.”
Her closing line left a lasting impression:
“If you want to change the world, don’t follow the current—reshape it.”
The Future: Where Consciousness Codes the Next Breakthrough
In an era where technology is evolving faster than we can keep up with its human impact, voices like Deepa Rajendra’s remind us of something important: progress isn’t just about speed or scale. It’s about meaning. It’s about connection. It’s about depth.
Her journey—from chips to consciousness—isn’t just a one-off story. It’s a potential blueprint for the next generation of innovators. As she beautifully put it:
“The future belongs to those bold enough to walk the path unseen.”
So—what “flow” are you currently following?
And more importantly, are you ready to break it?
