Swami Omkarananda is at present the President Trustee of Sri Gnanananda Niketan. Swamiji is visiting USA from 08th May to 10th June 2014.
Swami Omkarananda is an outstanding Teacher of
Vedanta known for his eloquence in Tamil and Sanskrit. His ability to
present the most intricate topics of Vedanta in an easily understandable manner
has won him a large following of youth as well as rural and even not so well
educated masses.
Swamiji was inspired by the
teachings of Swami Vivekananda. His spiritual thirst led him to Pujyasri Swami
Chidbhavananda of Sri Ramakrishna Tapovanam, Tiruparaiturai. Swami
Chidbhavananda was a disciple of Swami Sivananda, a direct disciple of
Sri Ramakrishna. Swamiji received sannyasa diksha from Swami Chidbhavananda.
Swami Omkarananda studied Advaita Vedanta under
his vidya Guru Pujyasri Swami Paramarthanandaji, the well-known disciple of
Pujyasri Swami Dayananda Saraswati, the great master of our times.
Swamiji founded Sri Swami
Chidbhavananda Ashram at Theni run by Vedanta Sastra Prachara Trust. He
succeeded Sadguru Santananda Swamigal of Sri Bhuvaneshwari Avadhuta Vidya
Peetham, Pudukkottai.
Sri Swamiji is an authority on
Tirukkural, a great admirer of Manickavacagar, Saint Tayumananavar and Mahakavi
Sri Subramanya Bharati. A unique feature of Sri Swamiji’s classes is the
spontaneous flow of quotations from the Vedas as well as Tamil texts like
Tirumandiram and Kaivalya Navaneetam.
Swamiji, a great exponent of our scriptures in Sanskrit and
Tamil, will give discourses on a variety of topics in Tamil during his visit to US. He will be
available for House Visits, Satsangs, Pada Puja and Biksha Vandanam. For
