Brahmarshi Subhash Patri, lovingly called Patriji, was a realized spiritual master, an inspiring teacher, and the founder of the Pyramid Spiritual Societies Movement (PSSM). Born in Andhra Pradesh, India, in 1947, Patriji had a deep thirst for the mysteries of existence from a young age. His personal experiences in meditation revealed the timeless truths of the soul, the mind, and the cosmos. From 1990 onwards, he dedicated his life to spreading the message of simple breath-mindfulness meditation, vegetarianism, spiritual science, and self-empowerment.

Patriji emphasized that every individual is a master of their own destiny and that true wisdom arises from personal experience rather than external authority. His teachings inspired millions across India and the world to practice daily meditation, study the wisdom of masters, adopt a plant-based lifestyle, and lead joyous, conscious lives. His famous motto, "Be a Light unto Yourself," captures his essential guidance to seekers everywhere. Patriji left his physical body in 2022, but his light continues to shine through the hearts of meditators worldwide.
