Swami Paramananda

Swami Paramananda (1884-1940) was an Indian Hindu monk, spiritual teacher and author who was one of the earliest proponents of Vedanta and yoga in the Western world. A disciple of Swami Vivekananda, he established centres for spiritual study in the United States and devoted his life to teaching meditation, concentration and the principles of Hindu philosophy to Western audiences. His books and audiobooks continue to offer readers and listeners accessible, deeply sincere spiritual guidance on meditation and the art of focused attention.
