PARANJOTHI SUBRAMANIAM

Paranjothi Subramaniam is the founder of the Self Awareness Centers, the first of which was opened in Kuala Lumpur in 1988. He has guided the development of the Centers, which now number five. Over 20,000 participants have attended his seminars and workshops. Paranjothi Subramaniam combines his understanding and insights into meditation, kundalini energy, levels of consciousness, and the shadow aspects of oneself with his deep understanding of modern psychology and science, creating dynamic programs that benefit all levels of seekers.

After graduating with an honors degree in Electronics and Electrical Engineering from United Kingdom University, Paranjothi Subramaniam returned to his place of birth, Malaysia, and began a long and successful career as an engineer. However, he felt drawn to a more spiritual life after receiving the blessings from his Holiness, Gnanavallal Paranjothi Mahan. He was guided and initiated in the Kundalini Yoga Meditation by Gananavallal Paranjothi Mahan's prime disciple in Kuala Lumpur, Principal Guru Paranjothi Sivasankaran. Under guidance from his revered gurus, he began practicing Kundalini Yoga Meditation in 1979 and soon became a teacher himself in Kuala Lumpur. While continuing with his spiritual development, Paranjothi Subramaniam also studied and embraced the latest Western concepts in psychology and psychotherapy. This took him to the United States where he met W. Brugh Joy, M.D. who made him realised the importance of Heart Centre (Anahatha) meditation. Brugh Joy is the author of 'Joys Way' and 'Avalanche'.

In 1988, Paranjothi Subramaniam established the first Self Awareness Centre in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Then, in 1992, he decided to devote his life solely to teaching others and resigned from the engineering profession. His skills as a Spiritual Master were already in great demand at this point, and Paranjothi Subramaniam developed the exciting programme called the 7 Day Transformational Journey. This ambitious programme was to change the lives of many. This programme was designed in hi own words to "Build People Psychologically and Uplift them Spiritually". Paranjothi Subramaniam now guides seekers through a programme module of five levels of courses, each of which builds upon the previous course and takes the individual step by step toward eventual self realisation. Self Awareness Centres now total in five, four of which are located Malaysia and one in Singapore.
