The Housekeeper of Housekeepers: A Grandmaster’s Unseen Influence on Global Hospitality & The Ultimate Gem Tenet of cleanliness is Godliness
By Michaela Jackson on February 16, 2025
In the resplendent Grand Ballroom of the Millennium Hilton Bangkok amongst the glamourous attendees, the sparkling chandeliers and clicking of the Champaigne glasses, where elegance met excellence, the Executive Housekeepers Association of Thailand hosted its prestigious annual Gala Night and World Housekeepers Association Summit.
The event, attended by leaders from 35 of the world’s most elite hotel chains, was an evening dedicated to celebrating excellence in hospitality. But as the night progressed, something unexpected happened.
An award was announced that had never existed before.
A category so profound, so unique, that it stunned even the most seasoned professionals in the industry.
It was titled:
“The Housekeeper of Housekeepers of the World.”
A standing ovation followed. Not for a corporate executive, not for a billion-dollar hotelier—but for a man whose presence alone had transformed the art of hospitality into a spiritual science.
The recipient?
None other than Param Arjan Guruji Shrii Arnav.
A Mentor Beyond Borders, A Master Beyond Recognition
Peach Fuzz was Pantone Colour of the Year 2024. Here is Guruji Shrii Arnav with his signature Style and Arrangement depicting the elegance of the Peach Fuzz. His Hand covering the Bull Head clearly stated what lies ahead for the financial markets.
The announcement rippled across the room, leaving the audience in awe. Many in attendance had heard whispers of the man the Thais lovingly call “Paa”—short for “Param Achan,” meaning Supreme Professor and Fatherly Guide.
But few expected that this evening would be devoted, in part, to honouring his silent but revolutionary contributions to global hospitality.
As Ms. Shantana Kalyakorn and Mr. Kunijang stepped forward to receive the award on his behalf, an air of reverence swept through the audience.
Paa-“Guruji Shrii Arnav,” Ms. Kalyakorn began, her voice brimming with emotion,
“is not just a leader, not just a mystic. He is a transformer of spaces, an architect of energy, and the unseen force behind what makes a place truly sacred.”
She was not alone in this sentiment.
One by one, stories of Guruji’s silent but legendary impact began to surface—each testimony unveiling a new dimension of his meticulous, almost mystical approach to order, efficiency, and harmony.
A Lesson in Tea: The Sofitel Phuket Encounter
One of the first voices to rise was Miss Bernadette, a Swiss-born housekeeping manager who had worked at Sofitel Phuket early in her career and now is senior trainer in the hospitality industry training the elite in Paris.
Senior Housekeeping Managers and professionals of coveted Star properties considered as experts in their Domains at the EHAT Award Ceremony
“I was just 23, placed in Asia for the first time,” she recounted. “I was struggling—language barriers, cultural differences, and the pressure of working in a luxury resort.
One day, my General Manager called me in and said, ‘A very special guest arrives tomorrow at 3 p.m. Take the utmost care.’
“I had read about Guruji online and felt nervous. But when he arrived, he was… different. Warm. Curious. Completely at ease.”
But what struck her the most was not his demeanour, but his morning routine.
“Every single morning, I would see him outside his suite, speaking to the plants. At first, I thought it was strange. But then I noticed something—he wasn’t just talking; he was gently removing old, withered leaves with his own fingers, tending to the plants as if they were his own.
“It was a lesson that would stay with me forever: True hospitality is about care at the deepest level—even for the smallest, unnoticed things.”
Her second lesson came over tea.
“One day, despite having the finest porcelain and cutlery in his suite, I saw him showing a housemaid how to properly clean a cup. He explained that any residual scent from the previous brew could ruin the experience of the next one. He demonstrated the technique—preheat with boiling water for 60 seconds, cleanse with a dry cotton cloth, and then pour the fresh brew.”
“This,” she concluded, “was the kind of attention to detail that transformed ordinary service into an unforgettable experience.” And those lessons have given me immense benefit and recognition throughout my career.
The Fear of Perfection: Holiday Inn’s Revelation
Ms Kalyakorn and Kunijang had the honour of Receiving the award on Behalf of the Grandmaster Guruji Shrii Arnav
Another striking testimony came from Ms. Kalyakorn herself, who once worked at Holiday Inn as an Head Assistant Housekeeping Manager and had the privilege of getting introduced and serving Guruji just prior to 2 years of her retirement.
A seasoned well-respected professional in her own right having 35 years of professional experience she has had the experience of working in top global chains such as the Intercontinental, the Hilton, Marriot, Crowne Plaza and St. Regis etc before eventually ending her career at the Holiday Inn.
What is remarkable is that she is acknowledged for her service not just of State guests but also visiting Royalty Worldwide.
She recalled an incident where a new maid assigned to Guruji’s suite was trembling in fear.
“She said to me, ‘I hear the master is so perfect that not a single mistake should happen.’
“When I went to his room, I understood why. The place was immaculate—Zen-like in its organization. His white starched shirts were lined without a single crease at one end, his silk garments placed at another end, and between them—his signature orange.”
“But what shocked me the most,” she admitted, “was not just the perfection, but the fact that even in a room with constant meetings, visitors, and activity—it always remained in that pristine state.” And Oh my- It smells so Good- Just Heavenly.
The Impossible Odor: The Dusit Secret
Then came one of the most shocking revelations of the evening.
A former senior manager at Dusit – One of the most exclusive Heritage Hotels in the world shared an experience that had troubled even the most experienced professionals.
“We had a royal guest arriving in six hours,” he said. “The only problem? The suite meant for him had a lingering cigar Odor—despite industrial-level cleaning, it refused to go away.”
A bellboy suggested, “Let’s ask Guruji.”
When they called, Guruji responded with a six-step method:
- Turn the air conditioner fan to the highest setting.
- Raise the room temperature to 30°C.
- Place six bowls of baking soda around the room.
- Close the room for two hours.
- Conduct standard cleaning procedures.
- Air it out for one hour before using a fine freshener.
“The result?” the manager concluded. “It worked better than any industrial-grade cleanser.
The guest stayed for three nights, and a major treaty was signed in that very room.” And yes, there were two more ingredients in that baking soda bowl- that I am not divulging.
I should also have a premium secret from the Grandmaster himself that keeps me relevant and earning he chuckled.
The audience gasped.
In that moment, it became clear to everyone—Guruji’s impact went beyond organization, beyond cleanliness.
He was an alchemist of spaces.
A grandmaster of energy and flow.
A Legacy Beyond Housekeeping
By the end of the night, it was evident—this was no ordinary award.
This was a global acknowledgment of a higher philosophy—one that transforms not just rooms, but entire lives.
The 3,000-strong audience stood, applauding for minutes, absorbing the profound realization that had dawned upon them:
Housekeeping is not just about cleaning.
It is about alignment.
It is about energy.
It is about creating sacredness in every space we touch.
And the man who had mastered and elevated this unseen science, who had silently shaped the world’s best hospitality standards, was none other than Guruji Shrii Arnav—The Housekeeper of Housekeepers of the World.
The Grandmaster At the Mode Sathon for Taking a Session on Luxury Goods Management Organised by Charisma University
A befitting title and tribute to a Man who is Living Energy.
Shared Mr. Mohd. Sami Ahmed from UAE who is in Thailand currently as a part of his internship at Chanel for his Masters In luxury Management Program at the prestigious Emilux in Paris:
“As a part of my project I had the great opportunity to attend one of his sessions at the Mode Sathon about Store Opening Process and Customised displays for Luxury Goods- and what can I say:
The Man is Grace Personified and Perfection electrified.
His very word, every action, just his movement and flow of words is nothing short of credibly remarkable”.
My Family has been in Luxury Goods and Heirloom business for last 300 years and we have served the who’s who of the world- So I know a bit about housekeeping, presentation and organisation.
Today we deal only in 3 luxury items- Rare Collector Watches, Fancy coloured diamonds of 3 carats and above and rare materials for perfumes having outlets in Dubai Mall and Abu Dhabi.
When I shared about his teachings with my Grandfather and Father- They said that I have been blessed to know the Grandmaster and Learn from him and what I have learnt would take a lifetime to gather from any school that I may attend and that experience has enriched me a lot and fortified my commitment to serve the industry with responsibility and myself set an example by carrying myself with grace and practising high risk business with Grace. God is kind and Merciful to you.
More Than Just Housekeeping – A Legacy of Energy Alignment
This award is not just about cleaning –
it is about how space influences energy, how precision creates harmony, and how order reflects an inner discipline that leads to excellence.
For years, Guruji Shrii Arnav’s teachings have influenced industries beyond hospitality, touching architecture, spiritual wellness, and corporate leadership.
This recognition cements his impact in yet another global domain, ensuring that his principles especially of the 9:12 the Guruji Shrii Arnav’s Way continue to transform how we live, work, and experience the world around us.
With over 3,000 global hospitality leaders now recognizing his teachings as the foundation of next-level service and order, this award is not just an honour, but the beginning of a new era in hospitality management.
Mr. Yodhaporn Samkitti-Senior Audit Inspectors SHA Safety and Heath Standards of the International Group of Hospitality Said:
There are some people beyond words and descriptions- They are like divine experiences and Param Arjan is one.
The aviation and the hospitality industry can never forget his contribution, support and leading by example especially when it appeared all had finished at the height of the pandemic.
Come to think of it- Even the King of the Jungle-The Tiger might prefer to brush and take a shower if He had to meet the Grandmaster formally-
Lest it end up on a wall in a Monastery- He gives a meaning smile and signs off by saying- You Know What I am talking about-Yes?
We see there are whispered Yes’s and nodding of Heads as we move towards Dining area looking forward to clinking our Champaigne glasses in the bright shimmers of the Belgian chandeliers- I guess The Param Arjan would have approved.
