The School
of
Southern Wisdom
The School of Southern Wisdom, Gnanalayam University, is a spiritual school founded by Mr. Balaji Raju in 2021 in Pondicherry, India with the ultimate aim to help students realize themselves and learn the Science of Spirituality. The School offers various programs, Online courses, and direct in-person programs from Undergraduate studies to Doctorate research, to impart spiritual education in the way of experiential science.
Much of the curriculum is designed with the help of the divine higher beings including the great ascended master Mahavatar Babaji under whose tutelage the school functions. Some of the astral teachers and masters who benevolently share their wisdom include Bogar Maharishi, Patanjali Maharishi, Vallalar, Sataimuni Siddhar, Gorakar Siddhar, Goddess Sarada Devi, Bala Tripura Sundari, Lord Ganapathi, Lord Nandidevar, Sage Agathiar Maharishi, Sage Valmiki Maharishi, Sage Kalanginadar, Lord Vana Isar and Goddess Vanamullai. While the teachers and lessons are many, the final goal is to help humanity reach Universal Oneness to usher in the Golden Age on this Earth. In this day and age, it is a rare opportunity to connect with these divine beings and study under them through the able conduit of the Guru/teacher in physical form, Mr. Balaji Raju.
Though the School focuses on spiritual education, the core philosophy is to impart self-knowledge in the form of real Science, the Science of the Unseen, the Science of Metaphysics, and the Science of Ontology. This knowledge, though have been revealed to some extent in various scriptures and religious texts, has so far been kept secret & guarded, to be esoterically understood only by the most arduous seekers. Through the School of Southern Wisdom, the knowledge is now being revealed today in as open a manner as possible by the ancient spiritual masters of India to bridge the gap between Science and Spirituality so that sincere seekers may find true wisdom certainly.
Mr. Balaji Raju is the Founder, Chancellor & Research Head at The School of Southern Wisdom, Gnanalayam University, Pondicherry, India, a spiritual school that helps people connect Science and Spirituality.
From a young age, Mr. Balaji Raju had an intense drive to find the connection between Spirituality and Science. His passion for the same took him to various parts of the globe where he explored and embraced multiple religions and spiritual practices. Through many divinely guided life experiences, he realized that the Supreme God is indeed One and our veils of ignorance are what prevent us from perceiving the God within ourselves. His desire and life purpose is to help everyone understand that Spirituality is the culmination of the ultimate scientific achievement and that without the unseen divine, there is no Science at all. Along with being a Chancellor of the School of Southern Wisdom, Mr. Balaji Raju leads as a Spiritual Guide and Life Coach at Gnanalayam – The Wisdom temple and meditation center at Pondicherry.
His achievements and life experiences before taking over as a Spiritual Guide at Gnanalayam are notable, being designed and orchestrated exquisitely by the divine. He has a Double Master’s degree, one in Business Administration (MBA) from the USA and another in Supply Chain Management (MSc - SCM) from Singapore, and a B-Tech in Information Technology from India. After working in various management capacities for over 8+ years in the corporate industry across multiple countries (USA, India, and Ethiopia), he was pursuing his doctorate in New Zealand before he was recalled to India on divine command to take up the role of a Spiritual Guide at Gnanalayam.
His special interests span across areas where current day Science can be evolved to understand Spirituality through multiple research studies and study groups. He is currently engaged in research on NeuroSpirituality to explore the deeper areas of Ontology, Metaphysical Studies, and the rich ancient wisdom teachings of the siddhars.
