At the age of 20 Guram became a spiritual disciple of Konstantin Serebrov, who was an authority on Kriya Yoga in the Russian esoteric underground, and he followed him when Serebrov became a disciple of Master G (Vladimir Stepanov), a Russian Christian Hermeticist. Guram worked as a lighting designer and stagehand in several jazz bands, and as a prop master in film productions. He holds an MSc in Solid State Physics from the University of Chisinau. In the 2000s, together with his wife Marijcke Tooneman, he founded the Christian-hermetic publishing house Serebrov Boeken, and under the pen name Gouri Gozalov edited and translated into English the most of Konstantin Serebrov’s books about their joint spiritual path on the Ship of Fools, as Master G called his spiritual school. He also published translations of Konstantin Serebrov’s books into Dutch, made by Marijcke Tooneman under the pen name Maria Toonen, see her autobiography.
