His Holiness ‘Gnanavallal’ Paranjothi Mahan was born on 2 May 1900 in a village called Kansapuram, Virudhunagar District previously it was in the district of Ramnad in South India.
Although His Holiness was not at the reach of formal education in his younger age, he still had an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. His foremost quest was to seek the Truth of life. He therefore sought many places of worship and devoted his time to religious practices in the hope of finding the “Truth”. Mahan attained his wisdom on 11 Nov 1911 at 11:11 am. When he turned 16, he travelled to Rangoon where he worked with his uncle. In 1933, he started his own business. However, his quest for knowledge never left him and he continued to visit many Yogis, Buddhist monks and spiritual leaders hoping to master adequate knowledge from them as answers for his search. On the 7th January 1938, he met his Guru, Haribullah Kamil Syed Ibrahim who initiated him into the Tantric system of Yoga. This was the turning point in his life and he felt a great change come over him. He devoted more time to the practice of meditation on research basis and soon attained the state of enlightenment. He put himself into strenuous test to come to a conclusion that the after-effect he experienced through continual practice is not from his physical body but beyond that. Then he started to preach his self-realisation and knowledge to others just as he experienced. Later he simplified the process of meditation which attracted many people to accept and follow. He is the pioneer in the field of Kundalini meditation who delivered this unique meditative process by touch for the first time to many more people abundantly. Because of his simplest principles, his admirers and disciples called him “Paranjothi Mahan” which means “The illuminated personality of the Universal Energy” with a prefix “Gnanavallal” meaning ‘abundant giver of Wisdom’ Gnanavallal Paranjothi Mahan left his business and returned to India where he started his first centre in 1939 naming as ‘Paripoorna Paranjothi Uyar Gnana Sabai’ in a small place in Madurai. Later on he renamed it as Universal Peace Sanctuary. His teachings soon spread far and wide and reached foreign countries. After Aadhi Sankara Gnanavallal Paranjothi Mahan is the one who re-established the ‘Advaitha’ philosophy and also gave the exact meaning of the God. He appointed many Guru appointees to spread the unique philosophy extensively. He attained Samathi on 7th January 1981 in Pondicherry, South India. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHO IS THE MUSLIM GURU NO INFORMATION Seeing that Paranjyothi Mahan was actually the guru who opened Vethathiri's chakras, and taught him astral travel, I thought I would research some more about him. There is an organisation he established, which continues to this day: Universal Peace Foundation. One of Paranjyothi Mahan's students is the current leader of the organisation, as Paranjyothi passed away in 1981. So, one possibility for me is to contact this organisation and see if they still teach astral travel. However, from what I can see, they teach something which is very, very similar to SKY (the master opens the students' chakras one by one). Well, what about the guru of Paranjyothi Mahan? This is where the new piece of interesting information comes in. His guru was called Haribullah Kamil Syed Ibrahim! This is a muslim name, or it could very well be a title. "Hari" refers to Vishnu in Sanskrit, however, in Qur'anic arabic, "hari" means dawn, morning or sunrise. "b" is short for "bi" or "bi'l" which means "of" or "of the" "ullah" is Allah. So Hari-bi'l-Allah means "Morning/dawn/sunrise of God" (as you know, sunrise is symbolic of the rays of the sun dispersing the darkness of night, and instead bringing light, warmth and life. As you know "guru" in sanskrit means "darkness/light", someone who takes you from darkness to light. So, the Arabic meaning of "Haribullah" could be a clever muslim/sufi way to say "Guru". This in itself is (to me) extremely interesting, that the paramguru of Vethathiri is possibly a muslim or sufi! Kamil or Kamel means "perfect" or "perfected". Syed or Sayed/Sayid means "noble" and usually refers to descendants of the Prophet Muhammad. Ibrahim is the muslim variant of Abraham, the first "hanif" or first rightly guided monotheist (in the 3 abrahamic religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam). As you can see "Haribullah Kamil Syed Ibrahim" could very well be a title, refering to a guru or master safeguarding and passing on the true, perfected and noble teachings. In this case, the true teachings include kundalini and chakra awakening through touch, as well as astral travel and prayers for world peace. It being an honorific title could very well be the reason, that nothing really comes up when you search for it online. Maybe his given name was different. You also can't find any pictures of him. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ K RAJARAM IRS 30526 On Sat, 30 May 2026 at 07:24, Venkatachalam Subramanian < [email protected]> wrote: > https://youtu.be/74lDBDQbRGk?si=Anm_kUJt7kH7bIdL > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Thatha_Patty" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To view this discussion visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/thatha_patty/CAJgp%3Ddu6wdxL7u3gFzqmYsSJtydX6k%2B31GDVM9Rh0Lcn2QgJog%40mail.gmail.com > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/thatha_patty/CAJgp%3Ddu6wdxL7u3gFzqmYsSJtydX6k%2B31GDVM9Rh0Lcn2QgJog%40mail.gmail.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
