We had the rare privilege to meet personally with His Holiness Paramguruji in Dubai for an exclusive interview with Chic Icon. Revered globally as an enlightened being and spiritual teacher, Paramguruji is recognized as the only living Guru to have studied within the sacred lineage of 13 ancient universities, part of the 51 great centers of learning that flourished across India more than 2,500 years ago. A rare master of both spiritual and scientific knowledge, he commands expertise across more than 50 disciplines, including Vedic sciences, yogic psychology, Ayurveda, spiritual philosophy, pranayama, material sciences, and self-realization.
Under the guidance of his 147-year-old Guruji, Paramguruji has inherited and perfected over 30,000 unique healing remedies. He has personally trained over 100,000 students worldwide, with more than 5,000 yoga teachers and spiritual counselors tracing their lineage back to him. His disciples include respected global leaders and influential figures across industries. He has also led a team of 3,000 scientists in Europe, pioneering research that bridges ancient Vedic knowledge with modern science across medicine, technology, psychology, engineering, and consciousness studies.
At the heart of his philosophy lies a simple yet profound truth: “Human suffering arises from imbalance within the mind and disconnection from nature.” In Dubai, he shared with Chic Icon his insights on health, self-awareness, love, and how to awaken both body and soul.
Chic Icon: Thank you for speaking with us, Paramguruji. Could you briefly describe your journey as both a spiritual teacher and a scientist?
HH Paramguruji: My path began very early, guided by my grandfather, who wanted me immersed in spiritual education. But naturally, I was curious about modern science too. I often asked questions in school that teachers could not answer — and spirituality provided the answers. Over time, it became the compass, while science became the language to articulate it.
A turning point came when I fell gravely ill as a young man. Modern medicine offered no hope, but a family lineage healer provided remedies that restored my health within days. That experience inspired me to study Ayurveda and ancient healing deeply. Later, recognition as a top global scholar in 2011 allowed me to bring together thousands of scientists to research Indian wisdom and technology, producing hundreds of discoveries and patents.
Chic Icon: For someone starting their journey toward balance, what are the first steps?
HH Paramguruji: Begin by finding an authentic teacher and asking the right questions: Who am I? What do I truly want? Self-study — Swadhyaya — is essential. Observe yourself, your strengths, and weaknesses. Desire for growth must arise from within; only then is it lasting.
Practically, start small: sit quietly for 20 minutes, focus on your breath, and allow your inner awareness to awaken. Your health and connection to yourself are the foundations of spiritual and material balance.
Chic Icon: What about daily practices for health that anyone can adopt?
HH Paramguruji: Purity is key — in food, breath, and rhythm. Drink alive water, practice breathing exercises, walk consciously, and rise before sunrise. Your body and mind align with natural cycles when you honor this rhythm.
Annual cleansing is vital. Many carry parasites or toxins that affect energy, digestion, and clarity. A seven-layer detoxaddresses multiple biological layers — blood, organs, energy — restoring vitality in one to three months. Proper walking technique — heel first, toes last — balances the spine and energy centers. Even simple practices like this can profoundly impact long-term wellbeing.
Chic Icon: You are also the co-founder of DiviNom, the ancient Indian wellness products. What inspired you to create this brand?
HH Paramguruji: For many years, people would come to me asking for solutions — for health, vitality, even clarity of mind. I searched the global market, but I could not find products that truly supported both the body and consciousness. Most products focus only on symptoms, or they are filled with chemicals, or they lack energetic integrity.
So I decided to create something myself — something very special and very pure. DiviNom was born from the desire to unite ancient Vedic formulation methods with the highest standards of natural preparation. All of our products are 100% natural, prepared with carefully selected ingredients, and crafted according to traditional principles.
One of the unique aspects is that formulations are prepared in real gold pots — something virtually no modern industry does today. In ancient science, gold is not symbolic; it has energetic and alchemical properties that influence the final product. The way something is prepared matters as much as what is inside it.
Chic Icon: Loneliness is often called a modern “disease.” What are your thoughts?
HH Paramguruji: Life moves in cycles. Some people may feel they do not need a partner. But solitude without self-growth can lead to regret. True maturity — spiritual, emotional, and relational — is essential. Being alone can be healthy if you are self-aware and balanced; otherwise, it may become a source of dissatisfaction.
The key is to grow through life, not escape it. Relationships, motherhood, and community are integral to human fulfillment.
Chic Icon: And for those spiritually awakened but struggling financially?
HH Paramguruji: True spirituality equips you to be focused, disciplined, and skilled. Those who claim enlightenment yet struggle often use it as an escape. Spiritual growth should enhance your ability to act, create, and contribute — it is not a retreat from reality.
Chic Icon: Finally, the best life advice for our readers?
HH Paramguruji: Time is the most precious commodity. Everyone has the same 24 hours; what differentiates success from stagnation is how we use it. Invest your moments wisely — in learning, meaningful experiences, and personal growth. Moments spent in reflection, study, or connection with a wise teacher multiply tenfold in value. Time lost is never regained, so treat it as sacred.
