Sumiran biography

Sumiran was born in Voronezh in Voronezh. He received a higher education in the specialty nuclear physics, then psychology. For about 15 years he devoted to the classes of Wushu, simultaneously studying the eastern Chinese philosophy. At the same time, he led psychological groups. At the age of 21, for several months, mystical experiments began to occur with it, which were not associated with any significant targeted efforts on his part.

It was, as a blessing from above, and when it left, it became clear what and for what to do. And therefore it is difficult for them, for them are only words. For me, this was not in words since twenty-two years old, it was experience, I knew how it could be. ” After that, interest in the outside world was practically lost, it was a period of residence of the other extreme.
