Designed & Developed for Pyramid Music Meditation Academy

Brahmarshi Patriji realized the power of Anapanasati Meditation through his profound experiences early in his life and attained enlightenment in the year 1979. 
Starting from a modest background as a marketing executive in a fertilizer company in Andhra Pradesh, Patriji’s mission has been to promote Anapanasati Meditation and Vegetarianism to lay people all over the world. His approach has been completely scientific and secular, without invoking any religious symbolism. Patriji founded “The Pyramid Spiritual Societies Movement (PSSM)” in the year 1990. 
Music has been a serious passion for Patriji since his childhood. Young Patriji’s household had a harmonium and a tabla, and everyone in the family used to practice harmonium. Shiv Ram Guruji from Bodhan, used to visit the family, and he would teach them basic Hindustani Music and simple bhajans. Subsequently, Patriji also learnt the basics of playing tabla.
Patriji’s flute GURUJI, T.S.Chandrasekharan, had been a disciple of the legendary T. R. Mahalingam. In April 1963, Patriji received a flute from his Guruji. In 1975, later, in Kurnool Town, Patriji met the great doyen of Carnatic Music, “PADMA BHUSHAN” Dr. Sripada Pinakapani Garu. The Grand Master immediately took Patriji under his wings and, over a period of three years — from 1975 to 1978, taught him higher practices in Carnatic Music. 
Having educated and encouraged millions of people into the practice of Anapanasati Meditation along with Music, Patriji has now combined his purpose and passion to launch the “Pyramid Music Meditation Academy”. His vision is to make every person, on the planet, an ever joyful, compassionate human being through the practice of Anapanasati Meditation specially enhanced by soulful Classical Music.
Shreans Daga is a successful business entrepreneur, based out of Mumbai- a philanthropist, Vice-chairman of “Pyramid Valley International”, Executive Director of  “Thriive Art and Soul”, and propagator of the “Quantum Life University”. 
He is a world-wide acclaimed Manifestation Mentor and Breathwork Coach.
He has applied the best of spiritual and scientific wellness tools to improve his experience of life. Having acquired these tools from the best meditation and consciousness practitioners from around the world, he has taken it upon himself to spread the power of manifestation to as many people as possible through his “Shreans Daga Foundation”.
His vision for the “Pyramid Music Meditation Academy” is to have of a global forum for International Masters to join, create and promote Music Meditation to lovers of all kinds of music.
