Who is Swami Premananda ?

Swami Premananda's name means 'Divine Love and Bliss'. Many around the world regard him as a living embodiment of these qualities.

At the beginning of the 20th century, a great saint, Swami Paramaguru of Sri Lanka, foretold Swami Premananda's birth and spiritual power to Swamiji's grandmother. He was born on 17th November 1951 in Matale, Sri Lanka and the elderly saint's predictions steadily came true.

Swami Premananda was born with certain powers such as the ability to materialize objects, to heal people and to know the past, present and future and whatever he said, would happen. This seemed very natural to him and, during his childhood, he thought that everybody could do the same. Slowly he discovered that this was not so. Around the age of 14, through deep meditative states, he discovered that he could use these special gifts to help humanity on the spiritual path. He then decided to dedicate his life entirely to the Divine and to help aspirants know the Truth and purpose of their existence. People from many nationalities and belief systems and from all social levels experience his loving, supportive presence in their day-to-day lives and that he solves their physical, mental and spiritual problems and guides them on their individual spiritual journeys.

Swami Premananda sees the main part of his life work as supporting sincere seekers, to open their inner heart and lead them towards the experience of their own divine nature. He encourages and guides them to realize the Truth within themselves and attain infinite peace of mind and permanent happiness. He does so with tremendous love, patience, self-surrender and humbleness, not to mention a crisp, pointed sense of humour. He is full of energy and actively does service for others 24 hours a day.

Swamiji advises us very practically how to adapt our lives according to spiritual principles leading to self-knowledge and divine experience. He says that his teaching in itself is nothing new. On the contrary, it is natural and in essence is the same as that which has been taught by all spiritual masters and religions throughout the world and ages. He says that his teaching is traditionally known as 'Sanatana Dharma', the Eternal Truth and he is a living example of everything he teaches.
