Swami Tejomayananda is fulfilling the vision that Pujya Gurudev, Swami
Chinmayananda charted. As he puts it "I am not in Swamiji's shoes, I am
at his feet." He was introduced to Vedanta early in his life. Coming
under the benign influence of Pujya Gurudev, H.H.Swami Chinmayananda, he
learnt, absorbed and started living the message of the scriptures that
his master so vociferously advocated. An accomplished and
internationally recognized scholar, Swami Tejomayananda has been
spreading Vedantic knowledge for decades through lectures, seminars and
spiritual retreats. He has been the Acharya at Sandeepany Sadhanalaya in
India and the USA.
Fluent in Sanskirt, Swamiji is the author of original Sanskirt
compositions as well. He has written commentaries on scriptural texts,
translated Swami Chinmayananda's commentaries into Hindi, and authored a
number of books. A key contribution is: Hindu Culture - An Introduction,
a text acclaimed for its clear description of the basics of Hinduism and
adopted as a text in some American high schools. Swamiji's discourses on
the Holy Geeta, Ramayana and Srimad Bhagavatam draw a huge crowd of
devotees. Swami Tejomayananda excels in expounding a wide spectrum of
Hindu scriptures, from Ramayana to the Bhagvad Gita Srimad Bhagavatam
and the Upanishads, the source book of Vedanta. He conducts Jnana yajnas
-- lecture series on Vedanta. His discourses, satsang and bhajans reveal
his knowledge has depth of wisdom.
As he moves around the world at a bewildering pace His easy manner and
devotional rendering of Vedantic texts has drawn many newcomers into the
spiritual fold. His melodious voice has devotion. Extremely humane and
approachable, he has never closed the doors to anyone who has sought his
or advice. His conviction is simple - to fortify, strengthen and
actualize the vision of his master - that of restoring the moral and
cultural dignity of our ancient heritage. He takes very keen interest in
the Vedanta course at Sandeepany Sadhanalaya. He is actively
participating in the selection of students, on design of course
