Why I am Becoming a Meditation Teacher

I am grateful to everyone who has joined our Meditation Teacher Training program. These are the individuals who are students today but will be teachers in time to come. They will change their life through the wisdom, tools and practice of meditation, and then help others to do the same also.
Thank you Goran for joining me to spread authentic meditation to people around the world.


Here is why Goran Musulin committed himself to become a Certified Meditation Teacher with SoulCentre. "When I was a little boy, I would sit quietly from time to time, close my eyes and observe the darkness and sparkling lights around my eyes. The stillness within. I was curious and interested to understand what it was but no one around could explain or teach me. It was my little secret for about 30 years until life brought me back to this experience again. A few years back, experiencing a “corporate burnout”, exhausted from working and thinking around the clock about my job, career and company, suffering from a painful and unbalanced state of mind, the first thing which came into my mind to help me recover was Meditation & Yoga. So I started to buy books and watch videos on YouTube. That led to even more confusion but I was sure that this was the right path for me; I just needed a good teacher.

So I started to search for an authentic teacher, and happily found a wonderful place in Singapore, SoulCentre, and a wise and enlightened master, Vikas Malkani. There is an old saying, 'When the student is ready, the teacher will appear'. Well, that's how it happened in my life.

During the first Meditation Made Simple class in January 2010, I realized that I have to change the way I live and the way I think. I have to take a break from work to recover fully and take care about my mind, heart & body. Looking back, it was the death of my 'old me' and the birth of something new and beautiful.

I continued to invest in my personal growth and growing myself. I was taking classes with Vikas and had the second big realization in May 2011. I decided to leave my HR job and career with Siemens. After more than 20 years in Healthcare, I felt strongly that it is time to change where I was headed. I had the strong desire to share with others what I was learning and experiencing from Vikas. So I left my job and security behind me to fully dedicate my time, energy and efforts to learn in depth about the wisdom of meditation and become a certified teacher under the guidance of Vikas. Then I could also spread this wonderful treasure with others.

I would like to thank my meditation teacher Vikas for his passionate, simple and inspiring teachings. He can explain the most complex ancient wisdom in a simple and understandable language of today’s world, it is truly transformative."
