Les Anand Roberts was born in Shropshire, England, in May 1953 into a working-class family. After dropping out of high school at 16, he spent two years working in manual labor before returning to education at 18. He eventually qualified as a Company Secretary and worked in various accounting roles, though a career breakdown in the early 1980s led to significant life changes. He later moved to Gibraltar, where he worked for Ernst & Young and other companies while navigating a challenging second marriage. Les's life took a transformative turn when he discovered the Integral Yoga Centre in Gibraltar and became deeply involved in the spiritual teachings offered there, particularly the "Science of the Mind."

In 2002, Les became self-employed as a business and compliance consultant and founded the charity AKIN (Association for Kids In Need), which helped children in six countries. His charity work extended to founding Childline Gibraltar and contributing to several other local causes. He also served as chairman of The Association of Trust & Company Managers and contributed to Gibraltar’s finance sector. In 2009, Les moved to southern Spain, and in 2019, he semi-retired, continuing to work in compliance while collaborating with his partner, Nalanie Harilela Chellaram, to organize spiritual workshops. Outside of work, Les enjoys photography, videography, writing, music, and painting. He has four children and four grandchildren.
