Swamiji is a modern Holy man for today’s times; a bright light for one and all. Though a
westerner (he lives in Adelaide, Australia), Swamiji has spent many years in India learning
personally from one of the country’s historically accepted great Masters. He was taught
philosophy and meditation at the deepest levels and after years of intensive training was
accepted into the Swami order in 1987. He specializes on teaching the essence of the
great Indian writings known as the Vedas, Gita, Bhagawatam and Ramayana. He focuses
on the philosophies of Karma, Gyan and Bhakti Yoga, the way of action, knowledge and
devotion.
With this unique blend of cultures, Swamiji brings extraordinary clarity to the complex and
timeless philosophies of India, making this knowledge easy to understand in a way that is
rarely seen in the West.
Swamiji is a classic example of “Why haven’t I seen him or heard this before?
