Guruji (Guru Dileepji - Dileepkumar Thankappan)

Guruji was born in Tripunithura, Kerala, India, also known as the capitol of Cochin kingdom, a town historically celebrated as a center of cultural and spiritual arts including martial arts, dance, and music. A practicing yogi from the young age, Guruji learned his first lessons from his mother Kanakamma Ashaty(guru), an accomplished Head Mistress whose family had a Kalari Payattu, a school where martial arts, yoga, Ayurveda, and other herbal systems were taught. His maternal family, which can be traced back to the 1800s, was respected for its knowledge of Sanskrit, philosophy, natural healing systems and spirituality. Notable members of her family include the famous writer Sarasakavi Mooloor S.Padmanabha Panicker, and Guru Nithya Chaithanya Yathi, an internationally renowned scholar-sanyasin and a regular companion of Dileepji. His father Dr. Thomas Thankappan Ashan(guru), was a homeopathic doctor noted for his successful treatments of all diseases including numerous cases of cancer. Also a practicing Hatha yogi, he had a vast knowledge of many subjects including alternative medicines. He comes from a long line of nadayil, the first Brahmin/Namboodhri families to convert to Christianity in A.D. 52 when St. Thomas visited Southern India. Notable members of his family include ArchBishop Devanios Chepadu and Evangelical Association of the East ArchBishop Gheevarghese Mar Policarpose.Guruji received many divine visions from a young age. He developed an intense desire to preserve and pass on the timeless wisdom existing in his native lush state of Kerala (known as God's own country) and traveled throughout India. In his journeys, he met and studied with self-realized masters including Himalayan saints, spiritual gurus according to the ancient Gurukula system. He also received training and did service in several spiritual organizations, hospitals, and clubs. Guruji has been active in sports and arts throughout his school and university years, and has received many awards recognizing his skill in dance and sports,NCC and his dedication to community service. Guruji has been practising and teaching yoga and meditation since childhood, and conducts yoga trainings and interfaith programs worldwide. Dileepji is a Life member of the World Yoga Council and International Ambassador of IYF. He recently released the cd Bhajans for Eternal Bliss. Guruji is the founder president of the International Gurukula Community a not-for-profit organization which helps people to understand the meaning and purpose of our life.
