In conjunction with the 45th Remembrance Day of Gnanavallal Paranjothi Mahan on 7th January,

to conclude the observation and celebration, GURU launched his music album titled 'The Fusion Of Mahan', created specially for Penang Sabhai disciples.

The intent was simple.

To approach Gnanavallal Paranjothi Mahan’s golden words through another form. Not to reinterpret them, but to allow them to be encountered differently.

The album carries a Modern Indian Fusion sound. Three compositions were shared that evening.

They did not seek reaction.
They created a shared stillness.

Many in the hall described a sense of inward settling. The words were already known, yet hearing them through sound created a different kind of contact, one that did not rely on explanation.

During the sharing, GURU briefly reflected on how teachings remain alive when they are allowed to move beyond their original form.

Mahan’s words were first carried through language, where meaning was clear and precise. Over time, they must continue to move through different expressions, entering daily life naturally rather than remaining confined to study or discourse.

Sound plays a role in that movement. When words meet rhythm, they travel without effort. They are remembered not through instruction, but through familiarity.

When ideas are encountered this way, they do not feel distant.
They become present.

This album sits within that understanding.

It does not attempt to explain Mahan. It allows his words to continue moving, intact, through sound.

As a closing to the Remembrance Day observation, this felt appropriate.

Not as a statement, but as a continuation.

Santhosam.

In conjunction with 45th Remembrance Day of Gnanavallal Paranjothi Mahan on 7th January...

Alongside remembrance, this year marked a quiet but significant step forward for Penang Sabhai.

On this day, our Interactive Website was officially launched for our disciples.

This project was overseen by Mei Navinkumar, and it has come together with clarity, structure, and purpose. The platform is designed not as a showcase, but as a working space for disciples. Practical, accessible, and aligned with the way our Sabhai functions today.

What made the launch especially meaningful was an announcement by GURU that took the gathering beyond expectation.

GURU introduced one of the most unique features of the platform, 'GURU Ai'.

An AI chatbot and app, conceived by GURU himself.

A first of its kind in the history of the Paranjothi Parambarai.

'GURU Ai' is not a general-use tool.
It is built exclusively for Penang Sabhai disciples.

Trained on the complete and authoritative body of Gnanavallal Paranjothi Mahan’s works, including verified texts, discourses, and years of Penang sabhai's SatsanghWithGURU insights, this initiative reflects a forward-looking approach to lineage knowledge. Not frozen in time, but made accessible, relevant, and usable for the present.

This was not announced as a future idea. It was announced as a working reality.

To acknowledge the effort behind bringing this vision into form, Mei Rakeesh was called upfront and congratulated for translating GURU’s idea into materialisation. From concept to ex*****on, this project stands as an example of disciplined collaboration and quiet commitment.

What stood out that evening was not technology alone.

It was the alignment between remembrance and movement forward. Honouring Mahan not only by reflection, but by building responsibly for the disciples of today.

This launch marks a new chapter for Penang Sabhai.
Rooted in lineage.
Responsive to the times.

Santhosam.

GURU'S official address for 45th Remembrance Day of Gnanavallal Paranjothi Mahan on 7th January 2026.

For decades, this day has followed a familiar pattern.

We speak about how Mahan left the body. We revisit the day, the moment, the mystery. We repeat the same backstory, year after year.

That is remembrance by habit.

Today, I choose something else.

I do not want to remember Mahan by how he passed on.
I want to remember him by how he lived.

Because how a man dies is an event. How a man lives is a statement.

Mahan did not build his life around followers, fear, promises, or comfort. He did not shape people to depend on him. He shaped people to stand on their own clarity.

He lived without negotiating truth to please anyone. He spoke without softening reality. He walked without asking permission from belief systems, traditions, or expectations.

That was his life.

Mahan never tried to be acceptable. He never tried to be popular. He never tried to fit into what the world was ready to digest.

He lived with precision.
He lived with internal order.
He lived without pretending that confusion was wisdom or noise was depth.

That is what made him unsettling. That is what made him necessary.

Today, remembrance does not require emotion. It requires honesty.

If we truly remember Mahan, we must ask ourselves: Are we living with clarity or borrowing borrowed meanings? Are we seeing directly or repeating what sounds safe? Are we standing upright in life or leaning on labels?

Remembering Mahan is not about narrating the end of his life. It is about examining the quality of ours.

His life was not meant to be admired. It was meant to challenge you. To disturb your comfort. To strip away false certainty.

That is why remembering how he lived matters more than how he left.

So today, I bow not to an event,
but to a way of living that refused distortion.

This is my homage.
This is our remembrance.

Not by looking back at his last day, but by looking honestly at how we choose to live today.

Nallaasi, Santhosam!

7th January 2026, on this day of Remembrance of Gnanavallal Paranjothi Mahan, may clarity become your habit, not an effort. May you walk light, think sharp, and live without delay. That is the true Remembrance.

Now, let us look at how Mahan himself described what happened that night....

On the night of 7 January 1938 at 11:11pm, Mahan received what he later referred to as his initiation. It happened at the Race Course in Rangoon, Burma, from an elderly man whom he naturally regarded as a Guru, without prior expectation or preparation for such an event.

The elderly man first instructed him to sit in a specific posture, stretching the fingers and placing the hands between the thighs. He was then asked to remain still and attentive. At that moment, Mahan was directed to listen carefully to an internal sound, described as “Kuru Kuru”, which he perceived as rising upward from the backbone toward the forehead. The man touched Mahan’s forehead with his hand while guiding his attention there. Mahan later stated plainly that this act was the Guru’s Upadesha.

However, Mahan was clear that this experience did not feel new or unfamiliar to him. For nearly 21 years prior, he had already been observing sensations and activity in the forehead while engaging in intense inquiry and repetition of several mantras, including his own name. Because of this long prior engagement, the initiation did not appear to him as a sudden or foreign transmission.

What struck him deeply was the coincidence. The initiation mirrored a powerful inner experience he had earlier encountered in a dream on 13 August 1930 at 2:30am, while staying at the Sivakasi Rest House in Madras State. When this memory resurfaced, he described a strong current flowing throughout his body, drawing him into deep concentration and absorption.

At that very time, sound waves from a bell at a nearby Buddhist temple began to strike his forehead repeatedly. With firm resolve, Mahan recognised what he described as the full implication of “Ummul Quran” and “Ismul Akhilam”, not as spoken words, but as soundless awareness, the unspoken and unwritten source behind sound itself. He noted that all sound seemed to be received directly in the forehead, and awareness there intensified steadily.

When he later attempted to explain this to the Guru who initiated him, the Guru himself could not fully comprehend what Mahan was describing.

From that point onward, Mahan stated that his pursuit of knowledge matured naturally into a deeper, effortless clarity. On that very day, he abandoned all forms of tapas and japa, convinced that their purpose had been fulfilled. He noted that even dreams related to these practices ceased.

Thereafter, everyday activities, eating, hearing, walking, seeing, were experienced through continuous awareness centred in the forehead. This marked a decisive inner shift, not driven by discipline or effort, but by direct perception.

Mahan concluded this account by stating that intuitive vision arose at the dawn of knowledge, awareness expanded, and he remained absorbed in a state of clarity, expressing it simply as reveling in bliss within his own body...

Nallaasi. Santhosam.

On 7 January, time folds back onto itself.

The same date that marked initiation at 11:11 pm
also marked departure at 11:11 am, forty-three years later.

Not coincidence.
Not mythology.
Just precision.

Gnanavallal Paranjothi Mahan did not leave behind rituals to be repeated.
He left behind Clarity that still unsettles,
questions that still strip people bare,
and a way of seeing life that refuses comfort.

This remembrance is not about nostalgia.
It is about alignment.

Alignment with what was lived fully.
Alignment with what was taught without compromise.
Alignment with what still demands courage from anyone who comes near it.

So we gather.
To sit together in Group Nishtai,
where noise drops, stories collapse,
and what remains is raw awareness.

45 years later, the date still stands.
The teaching still stands.
The responsibility is now ours.

Santhosam.

As we enter 2026, there is nothing mysterious about what lies ahead. The direction is already visible.

The world is faster, louder, and more crowded than before.
Information is constant. Attention is fragmented.
Most people are mentally tired, not because life is hard, but because the mind is overused.

2026 simply continues this trajectory.

In such conditions, people who lack clarity feel pressured.
People who are clear feel stable.
This is not belief. It is mechanics.

When input increases and order does not, confusion grows.
When order is present, pressure reduces.

That is the central reality of this year.

So 2026 naturally favors those who are internally organized.
Clear priorities.
Clean routines.
Fewer contradictions in daily life.

Work becomes easier when your reasons are settled.
You don’t waste energy second-guessing.
You don’t carry unnecessary mental load.

Relationships also simplify when you stop managing impressions.
Directness reduces friction.
Silence reduces misunderstanding.

The ability to sit quietly, without stimulation or distraction, becomes practical strength.
It stabilizes attention.
It sharpens decision-making.
It reduces emotional noise.

None of this is symbolic.
It is functional.

Do not wait for external stability.
Modern life does not offer that.
Instead, stabilize your own attention and pace.

Move through 2026 steadily.
Do your work cleanly.
Reduce what drains you.
Keep what gives clarity.

Nothing dramatic is required.
No belief is needed.
Just accuracy with yourself.

If you do this, life feels manageable, grounded, and workable.

That is my message.
That is my blessing as we begin this year.

Nallaasi. Santhosam.
