COUNTRY SWAMI

Country Swamis and Swaminis are Paramahamsa Vishwananda’s ‘right hand’. Their life mission is to spread Guruji’s teachings in their respective countries. If you have any spiritual enquiries, your country Swami is the best person to contact.

SWAMI PARANTHAPA

When he was a teenager Swami’s quest for answers began. He was filled with questions that were always burning inside him. He devoured books on spirituality, mythology, philosophy, and poetry trying to quench his thirst. He wanted an explanation to the questions of why are we here and what is the point to life.

When Swami was 24 he met his Guru. He describes it as “a full moon effortlessly shining his Love on everybody in exactly the same way, holding every person in exactly the same way”. He never knew it then, but now he knows that the Guru was continuously magnetising him to himself-­‐ there was no other way it could have been. Finding his Guru was the beginning of comprehending the surety of Home.
