About Camp Facilitator
Swami Advaitananda was born in Khargaon and brought up in Dhar, Madhya Pradesh. He pursued a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering in Indore and later completed his graduation from Bilaspur Engineering College.
Inspired by Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda and Pujya Guruji Swami Tejomayananda, he joined the Sandeepany Himalayas in Sidhbari, Himachal Pradesh, to study Vedantic scriptures in depth for 2 years in 1989 under the tutelage of Swami Subodhananda. Subsequently he has been serving at various Chinmaya Mission centres all over the world. He received Sannyasa Diksha in 2002.
Currently serving at Nashik, Swamiji has travelled to many countries like USA, South Africa, Singapore, Kuwait and Bahrain enthralling the audience with his lucid lectures – be it on the deep and profound topics of Vedanta or the divine nectarine devotional texts in Hindi, Marathi and English.
As Acharya, Swamiji has guided the students of two Vedanta courses in Hindi (at Sidhbari) and one in English (at Mumbai).
A writer and composer himself, Swamiji’s rendition of bhajans is melodious and captivating, indeed a treat for listeners.
