Kamran Loghman
Eastern Philosopher and Yogic Tradition
When delivering his inspirational speeches and power-packed workshops, Kamran draws from a variety of sources. The sources Kamran relies on are the product of a lifetime of study, research and dedication. Kamran Loghman’s search for inner transformation began at the young age of 11 when he started his training in the Eastern method of hypnosis under the renowned master hypnotist Fereydoun Farivar. Kamran’s search continued with a lifelong, in-depth study of the mediaeval Japanese warrior and ancient India warrior philosophy and traditions. In addition, for the past 45 years, Kamran has been a practitioner of meditation and mindfulness directly under the tutelage of the world-renowned meditation master, the late Swami Muktananda Paramahansa, and later under the Siddha master Swami Chidvilasananda Paramahansa.
These studies were specifically focused within the Indian tradition of Yoga, Vedanta and the non-dual school of Kashmir Shaivism, which has one of the most profound and in-depth studies of human consciousness. During this period, and to further deepen his knowledge, Kamran studied directly with Lakshman Joo, a scholar and mystic of Kashmir Shaivism, with an uninterrupted lineage dating back to 850 CE. It is interesting to note that Kamran’s search for inner transformation is connected even by bloodlines. Kamran’s maternal sides were Catholics from Georgia and a close relative of Joseph Jandieri, the mystic wonderworker (c. the 1700’s) who has been canonized as a saint by the Georgian Orthodox Church. His paternal side, however, is direct descendants of Ibrahim Adham (c. 718) one of the most prominent of the early ascetic Sufi saints. His story is one of the most celebrated in Sufi legends, like that of a King renouncing his throne and choosing asceticism closely echoing the legend of Buddha. The famed poet Rumi has extensively described the story of Ibrahim in his book, the Masnavi.
Background
Kamran Loghman’s maternal side were nobilities from Tbilisi Georgia dating back to 1600’s. His paternal side were medical doctors who practiced in Paris France for more than five generations and closely collaborated with notable physicians such as Louis Pasteur and his grandson Professor Vallery Radot. Kamran moved to Switzerland for schooling at an early age and migrated to the USA, in the early ’70s. He has a diploma from École Internationale in Geneva and obtained a B.A. in Philosophy from the University of San Francisco and an M.A. in Eastern Philosophy from The Catholic University of America.
