À propos de l'auteur

 H.H. Swami Mukundananda ji is a world-renowned teacher of Spirituality, Yoga, and Meditation. He is the founder of the yogic system called JKYog (www.jkyog.org), also known as Yoga for the Body, Mind, and Soul. Swamiji is a unique sanyāsī (monk), who has a distinguished technical and management educational background as well. He completed Engineering and Management from two world-renowned institutes in India, IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) and IIM (Indian Institute of Management). However, illustrious education and a promising corporate career did not quench his thirst for knowing the Absolute Truth. The longing for God was so strong that he renounced his career and traveled throughout India as a sanyāsī. During these travels, he had the opportunity to meet and interact with many great Āchāryas and Saints, and learn about the various religious traditions and schools of philosophy in India.

Ultimately, his search took him to the lotus feet of his Spiritual Master, Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj. Under the guidance of Shree Maharajji, he studied the Vedic scriptures and practiced intense sādhanā. His Guru then entrusted him with the key task of propagating the ancient knowledge of the Eternal Truth the world over. For the last three decades, Swamiji has been traveling far and wide, awakening hundreds of thousands of seekers. He has a God-gifted ability to keep all kinds of audiences enthralled and entertained through wisdom-filled anecdotes, humorous stories, and irrefutable logic. The hallmark of his lectures is the ease with which he dispels various myths and misconceptions associated with the various paths of God-realization, and his ability to penetrate even the toughest minds and convince them with depth of understanding and scriptural veracity.

Swamiji cares deeply about imparting Hindu cultural and religious values to the younger generation, especially in the West. To aid this special effort, he has conceived a special personality development program for children and young adults called "Bal-Mukund - Playground for Vedic Wisdom." It includes character building, yoga, meditation, devotional singing, cultural exposure, and religious training. Many Bal-Mukund centers have been started for the benefit of children, both in USA and in India. More information is available at www.bal-mukund.org.
For the youth, Swamiji has conducted programs at prestigious universities such as Princeton, Stanford, Yale, MIT, Duke, and Kellogg School of Management. He has been invited to speak at various Fortune 500 companies like Google, Oracle, etc.
Swamiji is the founder of many organizations in India with permanent centers and āśhrams, such as Jagadguru Kripalu Yog Trust (India), Radha Govind Dham (Delhi, www.rgdham.org), Radha Krishna Bhakti Mandir (Cuttack) and more. In USA, Swamiji has inspired the formation of Jagadguru Kripaluji Yog (JKYog).
Shree Swamiji has inspired people all over the world, on the path of spirituality, holistic health, yoga, meditation, service to society, and God-realization. His warmth and humility touch all those who have had the fortune to have his association. In fact, his very presence radiates grace and bliss.
