brief history of  the Geniuschoice

 

 

from 1973 -to- 2008

 

was initiated in the name of School for Creative Perspective, founded in 1980, as a completely autonomous equal opportunity institution for research, training, education and communication in  creativity, originality, enlightenment and related human evolution perspectives. based on the findings of

Dr. Prasad Sundararajan.  

 

: ...  the story of the ultra-ordinary search

of an ordinary Prasad Sundararajan.

 

 

 

Dear Friends, I must indicate at least a few of the critical turning points in the background of research-development from which the figure of Genius Psychologics was evolved. A few great teachers and guides who rendered my own psychology

Genius level to seek and search.

In sequential order: 

  • My great Gurus in the form of Father who inducted me into tuning with the Nature-process outside and inside and Mother who trained me to observe, think, and create understanding about things that I wanted to know.

1973

  • Dr. V George Mathew, the ‘Para-Psychologist’ who conveyed me two significant perceptions: ‘Human WILL has the inherent power to perform almost anything’ and ‘One has to be careful in declaring such big dreams’. 

    • My dream was about changing the world through Psychology. It was 1973, University Department of Psychology, Kerala University.

  • Prof. T Simon, HOD of Psychology, UC College, Alwaye who publicly recognized and appreciated the activities of ‘SECONDS’ ['Psychological Explanation & Cognitive Direction Service': for discussing the scope of Genius evolution of students, which attracted almost the entire students of the college - 1977-79].

1979

  • Dr, Gopala Pillai, Dr. EI George, and Dr. Sam Sanandaraj who almost forced me into a PhD topic that really struck my heart: ‘A study on the Personality Factors of Creative Under-achievers in Secondary Schools’. Because, I saw myself a ‘Genius under-achiever’. Year 1979, Kerala University Dept. of Psychology.

1983

A real 'Critical Turning Point' gifted by the loving benevolence of a great lady 'K.......' and her family - inviting a forlorn and erratic-eccentric guy and inspiring him to try XLRI for survival..

Greater the troubles transcended greater the turning point quality.

  • The extremely rigorous training in research methodologies with Dr. Baldev Raj Sharma, Sir JG Gandhi Chair Professor at XLRI Jamshedpur, 

  • Dr. Durlabhji, Visiting Faculty at XLRI-Jamshedpur who inducted me into the magnificent world of Zen and Tao. Year 1983.

  • Dr. Howard J Baumgartel, Emeritus Professor in Psychology & Business of Kansas University,  who trained me in advanced Statistical tools and methodologies

1987

  • Dr. Pradip N Khandwalla of IIM-A who accepted me as a Doctoral Student particularly during his tenure as the Director of IIM-A

  •  

  • Dr. David c McClelland who trained me in the concept and principles of ‘Competency’ and his unique method of Behavioural Event Interview [BEI], inspired me to ‘interview’ at least 1,500 individuals since 1986 – that, finally every meeting became a BEI and revealed a great lot of the hidden iceberg. ... that I became a ‘searcher’ even in my sleep and dreaming.

 

And, of course, an extremely unique individual

who really lived a lot of her inspiration to see the

'dream come true: '... but unable to sustain it for long.

 

 

 

 

the one who entered as a 'student'  and left as a 'master' : 1989 disillusioned with the futile goals of the Master and the 'eccentricities' of

the Master's genius

 

The old UC College 'SECONDS' transformed into

'School for Creative Perspective'

By 1992, I realized that there are a lot of ‘Genius under-achievers’. That almost every human being ends up a Genius-underachiever - unless mission fulfilled, purpose of existence actualised, and so on.

And I started working on Genius Psychologics and training students in our institution named [at that time] School for Creative Perspective [at Cochin, the most literate State of India].

By 2003, by virtue of the great [lack of] appreciation for anything new, a patent mental block of people that did not leave even the levels of Jesus, Galileo, Socrates, Nietzsche, Einstein, etc among the well-known... the School of 'Creative' Perspective was closed more than seven times, and finally it seemed conducive to restart it in the brilliant location of the mountainous regions of Coimbatore.

  The Final Design                  

School for Creative Perspective evolved finally into Geiustemple

 

The final design has been evolved out of the discussions between two individuals.

Dr. Prasad Sundararajan and S. Shivamayi.

 

Shivamayi herself is a clear evidence of the Genius evolution probable-possible for an individual. [Of course, all the other 25+ trainees or ‘apprentices’ too could be ‘empowered with their own competencies [in the language of John Naisbit, who predicted the mega-trend that people will be empowered by their own abilities]. In fact, the training in Genius-Psychologics would empower individuals by their ‘competencies’ [David McClelland] and at >+3 Sigma level].

 

What I could find since 1974 of my research, Shiva would quickly sum up and

provide either a totally unique perspective about it or provide a turning point clue. 

As a result, the institution named ‘School for Creative Perspective’ started in 1992 at Cochin, has been re-named, ‘School of Creative-Psychologics’ and shifted to Coimbatore by 2005 and shifted to Kalimangalam renamed finally to 'Geniustemple' having three domains of activities: 'Institute of Creative Management', 'Institute of Creative Intelligence', and 'Jeevi-Yoga'
