Grand Master Choa Kok Sui
The Founder of Mordern Pranic Healing & Arhatic Yoga
Master Choa Kok Sui is the founder of modern Pranic Healing and Arhatic Yoga. An internationally acclaimed author of over 20 titles on Pranic Healing and spirituality, His first book Miracles Through Pranic Healing (originally published in 1987 as The Ancient Science and Art of Pranic Healing) has been translated into over 27 languages and is distributed in more than 40 countries.
Culminating from over 30 years of research and study of the esoteric sciences, His work and seminars reveal a far deeper and more thorough understanding of energetic healing than has been available before. Through his study – as well as his close association with healers, yogis and spiritual teachers from around the world – Master Choa quickly became one of the greatest masters of energy of our generation and a leading authority on the various applications of prana or “life force”. Originally a businessman of Chinese Filipino descent, he created a new standard in the field of energetic medicine, and the seminars developed by him are systematic, structured, easy to learn and incredibly powerful.
Great visionaries do not merely dream of success—they imagine a better world and dedicate their lives to building it.
Grand Master Choa Kok Sui (GMCKS) was one of those rare pioneers.
The Scientist of the Soul
A chemical engineer by training, Master Choa approached spirituality through the lens of rigorous experimentation and research. His students often referred to him as a “scientist of the soul.” This scientific mindset allowed him to demystify ancient esoteric wisdom, systematically refining profound concepts into practical, accessible energy techniques. His systems—most notably Pranic Healing and Arhatic Yoga—were designed to empower individuals to achieve balance, success, and spiritual evolution in everyday life. While Pranic Healing opened doors to holistic wellness, Arhatic Yoga offered a non-sectarian path to safely accelerate self-realization.
A Global Mission Realized
Through countless workshops, intensive seminars, and the establishment of dedicated healing foundations across five continents, he transformed an ancient, esoteric art into a structured, scientifically validated system accessible to people of all backgrounds. Local study groups rapidly evolved into national ashrams and charitable initiatives, demonstrating that energy healing could bridge cultural divides and address both physical suffering and spiritual development. By empowering thousands of instructors and practitioners to carry the work forward independently, he ensured the movement’s longevity, turning what began as a single man’s ambitious vision into a self-sustaining global community that continues to heal, teach, and expand worldwide.
A Living Legacy of Service
Though Master Choa passed away on March 19, 2007, his vision thrives worldwide through the Institute for Inner Studies and the World Pranic Healing Foundation. His mission extends far beyond spiritual instruction: through the MCKS Charitable Foundation, his global community actively practices compassion in action—funding disaster relief, supporting medical care for the underprivileged, and running feeding programs across the globe.
What began as an audacious vision has grown into an enduring global legacy of healing, conscious evolution, and service to humanity.
