Nurturing Future Leaders
Sri Murugan Center (SMC), is an educational NGO founded in 1982 by Tan Sri Dato Dr. M. Thambirajah to carry out a dedicated service in uplifting the Indian community through education for the past 43 years. SMC chose Education as the sole vehicle for the social and economic mobility of the Indian community in Malaysia. It began with 4 physical centres in 1982 to 103 centres and now 128 virtual centres nation wide. Currently, we have more than 10,000 students throughout the nation. SMC has created more than 52,470 graduates across the nation and globally. Eventually, SMC believes that these graduates will uplift the socio-economy status of their families.
Shanmarkam
The Six Divine Steps for Success
Kalvi Puratchi
The Accurate Direction
The student takes a vow to change, to transform and to transcend to a higher plane through EDUCATION.
Kalvi Yuttham
The Vow
It is normal for the will to sag. The second stage urges the student to wield the spirit of the brave warrior who does not succumb to pain and distraction. He pursues his goal relentlessly.
Kalvi Viratham
Discipline to overcome Despair
Just as a holy person achieves Moksha through discipline the student obtains excellent grades through Viratham for education. The body and mind are controlled with one version: The mother receiving the result slip.
Kalvi Yathirai
The power from the supreme
Before the final journey to the Exam Hall the student must bring his BODY, MIND, and SOUL to the DIVINE. The pilgrimage is made to the source of all POWER; it is a virtual journey from your 5 senses to your inner MIND.
Kalvi Thiagam
Sacrifice for education
The final stage before the EXAM requires total sacrifice of all pleasures. If Kalvi Thiagam has been performed well, a stage will find Kalvi Thiagam a joy and prepares himself for the Exams with surprising energy!
Kalvi Mukthi
Blessing of the Supreme
The confident student, strengthened by the belief that Shanmarkan practice has sharpened his intellect, envisions Lord Muruga accompanying him into the exam hall. His pen becomes Lord Muruga's vel.
