Swami Nardanand Ji
Embodiment of Joy
Swamiji is an embodiment of living joy, bliss, and unconditional love. He is a curious and pure-hearted being who tends to view things with wisdom, wonder, and innocence. He enjoys complete satisfaction, inner peace, and a deep connection to truth. While Swamiji has an exceptional level of spiritual attainment, he remains very humane, humble, and approachable.
He is always ready to learn new things, engage in discussions, and change his opinions. Bright humor and laughter flow in his presence. He is in touch with the mundane modern world, participating in sports, traveling, savoring food, and even using social media. Furthermore, he loves our community and radiates authentic happiness when listening to people share their lives, spiritual experiences, and evolution.
He is very caring and always willing to help, yet he remains detached at all times. Swamiji is a storyteller who complements his inner wisdom with stories from many scriptures. He reminds us of our divine nature and inspires us to trust ourselves and our inner wisdom. He emphasizes that he doesn’t teach or give us anything, but rather, he helps to awaken the potential that is already within us. He tells us that we are here to enjoy – and he truly lives that teaching himself.
Swami Pranavanand Ji
Devotion & Service
Swami Pranavanand is a highly respected representative of Siddha Maha Yoga and the Siddha Ashram in India. He came to the Ashram in its early years, himself a boy of 8 years, to study with Swami Nardanand at the small school he had established at the Ashram.
When Swami Nardanand's travels became more extensive, he closed the school. The youth, who is now Swami Pranavanand, wanted to stay and Swamiji lovingly took him on as a student, son, and ultimately a close disciple. The love and respect between them is to this day, decades later, palpable. Swami Pranavanand went to University as well as an advanced Yoga School. Upon returning to the Siddha Ashram, he took on many of its responsibilities.
He receives seekers and dignitaries in Swamiji's absence, attends spiritual conferences representing the lineage, and is highly sought after by many seekers and in many functions locally. He is also the manager of the Siddha Ashram, seeking earnestly to ensure the happiness of the many guests and visitors. He appears as an eternally calm and friendly being, yet has a strong inner fire and a great sense of humor! Taught music by Swamiji as well, his bhajans are a joy to participate in.
Your own self-realization is the greatest service you can render the world.
