About Pujya Swami Swaroopananda:

Swami Swaroopananda left his family’s thriving business in Hong Kong at an early age to seek what he now calls, “real answers to real problems”. Since undergoing intensive monastic training and an exhaustive study of the scriptures at the Chinmaya Mission ashram in Mumbai, Swamiji has spent the last three decades traversing the globe, sharing the wisdom of Vedanta with hundreds of thousands of people.

Formerly the Regional Head of Chinmaya Mission Australia, United Kingdom, Middle East, Africa, and the Far East, and presently Chairman of the Chinmaya Vishwavidyapeeth Trust (University for Sanskrit and Indic Traditions) and Director of the Chinmaya International Residential School in Coimbatore, South India, Swami Swaroopananda has now been bestowed by Swami Tejomayananda the privilege to also serve as the Head of Chinmaya Mission Worldwide.

Meet Swamiji, who is heading an organization that is spread across five continents! Come for the 3-day lecture & dinner – feed your mind, body & Soul!
