Happy Monk — Swami Paramananda Saraswati, Vedanta and Yoga teacher based in Melbourne, Australia

Swami Paramananda
Saraswati

Teaching the ancient wisdom of Vedanta and Yoga

Inspired by various Masters and under the guidance of Swami Anubhavananda ji — himself a disciple of Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda — Swamiji has studied the ancient scriptures and is able to share them with straightforward clarity.

Based in Melbourne, he travels throughout Australia and abroad sharing his knowledge on Bhagavad Gita, Patanjali Yoga Sutras, Pancadasi, Vedas, Upanishads and texts by ancient and modern masters.

Over 27 years Swamiji has dedicated himself to the pursuit and sharing of the vast bounty of Vedanta. His wisdom goes beyond the texts; his one goal is to inspire the pursuit of truth. His sense of humour and joyful disposition makes Vedanta easier and fun to navigate.

"Come and discover the lightness of life."

A Personal Note

Hari Om, dear friends and seekers / sadhakas,

Whether you have walked this path with me for many years or are arriving here for the very first time — you are most welcome.

After Satsangs in New Jersey, Detroit and Toronto through September, I am now in the UK until 26th October 2026, offering Satsangs across London and Glasgow. Dates, venues and registration are on the Events page — I would love to see you there.

From the UK I travel to Delhi (27–28 Oct), then on pilgrimage in Nepal — Kathmandu, Muktinath, Lumbini and Janakpur (29 Oct – 4 Nov) — followed by a South India pilgrimage to Madurai, Palani, Rameshwaram, Kanyakumari and Trivandrum (5–15 Nov). From 18th November I will be holding Satsangs in Coimbatore, Puttaparthi, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Pune.

And if you are wondering whether Vedanta is for you — simply come once. Sit, listen, ask your questions freely. The teaching is for the sincere seeker / sadhaka, and all are welcome.

With love and blessings,
Swami Paramananda Saraswati
