[3][4] In 1990, Veleslav graduated from high school, but instead of going to the MSU faculty of history and philosophy as his family and friends expected, he announced that he was not interested in a career as a scientist, historian or philosopher, claiming that they "speak of truth, without knowing her".

After sewing together a Russian burlap shirt, he stopped eating meat, cut his hair, and began practicing yoga as well as other spiritual disciplines.

On February 24, 1998, together with like-minded people, Veleslav announced the creation of the Russian-Slavic Rodnover Community, "Rodoljub",[5] and a spiritual and educational society, "Satya Veda" (Sanskrit, "True Knowledge"), which during the first year operated as a single unit.

It was at this time that the foundation was laid for the future community: developing and maintaining a ritual practice; and a worldview was formed... May 12, 1998, was the date of the first public ceremony for the reconstructed houses in the near Teply Stan.

The stated objectives of the Veles circle are: He is featured performing a speech on Noch Velesova, a 2009 DVD by the band Arkona.

[8] Veleslav has written several books on Advaita Saiva Dharma (the teachings of non-dual Shaivism) and Tantra under the pseudonym Satyavan (from Sanskrit "Satya" - "The Truth").
