Gotham Chopra is a modern myth maker at the convergence of sports, science, and spirituality
Award-winning sports documentarian and media founder GOTHAM CHOPRA is at the forefront of the convergence of sports, science, and spirituality. Chopra grew up in Boston, Massachusetts as a first generation American. Sports was his language, how he connected with his community, and as he tells Good Morning America, his religion. Gotham’s father is renowned spiritualist Deepak Chopra, with whom he co-authored the book Walking Wisdom – a meditation on fatherhood, family, and the search for a happy life. For Gotham, everything his father spoke about in spirituality could also be found in sports – from the mythology of teams and godlike status of iconic players to the passionate search for something greater than ourselves.
