About the event

This is a rare warrior–yogic transmission in Tapovan, Rishikesh, led by Guru Suraj, the Raja (King) of the ancient Kingdom of Kadathanad, a 3,000‑year‑old living warrior lineage. It is not a fitness class, sport training, or performance workshop, but a direct experiential transmission where stillness in movement becomes lived reality and Śakti awakens through disciplined action.

Such sessions are offered only occasionally, making this a rare opportunity for sincere seekers, yogis, and martial practitioners to train under an international lineage holder in the spiritual heart of the Himalaya

About Guru Suraj

Guru Suraj is a custodian of pre‑classical Kalaripayat, awakened through ancestral memory rather than formal instruction, and a bearer of a living warrior tradition from Kadathanad.

His transmission weaves together:

- Ancient Indian warrior–yogic disciplines

- Muay Thai training under multiple Thai champions

- Khun Khmer (Cambodian boxing) under living legend Oumry Ban

- American kickboxing lineage as protégé of legend Manson Gibson

- Expert‑level tactical self‑preservation taught as awareness and dharma

His approach is rooted, calm, precise, and uncompromising, blending yogic depth with real‑world embodied intelligence.
