Swami Atmajnananda Giri...

Born in Kerala, Swami Atmajnananda Giri had an urge to live with nature since a very early age. This natural urge led him to practice Naturopathy for over 3 years and he also undertook a study of Homeopathy and obtained a Diploma for the same. This only intensified his urge and he traveled for 4 years as a sanyasa mendicant undertaking study and trying to understand the deeper meaning of life.
His travels led him to study Yoga and Vedanta. Through his study he met his Guru Swami Sudhi Chaitanya who had a profound impact upon him. The urge of Sanyasa became so strong that he left home to travel first to Varanasi and then to the Himalayas to be among the great seers. This experience gave him the purpose of life which was to feel the totality of the Self.
