Swami Ji
Yoga philosophy Teacher
Swami Shivabrahmananda Saraswati is a dedicated Sannyasi who, at the age of 19, made a profound decision to leave behind the material world and embark on a lifelong journey of spiritual growth. With a deep commitment to mastering spiritual knowledge, he has immersed himself in the teachings of Yoga Philosophy, rooted in Vedanta, the Patanjali Yoga Sutras, and the Bhagavad Gita.
His path of self-realization took him to the sacred banks of the River Narmada, where he underwent an intense three-year penance, refining his mind and spirit. Driven by a thirst for deeper understanding, he joined Arsha Vidya Peetham in Rishikesh from 2003 to 2006, completing a rigorous three-year Vedanta course under the guidance of the esteemed Dayananda Ashram.
Following this, Swami Shivabrahmananda was sent by Pujya Swami Dayananda Saraswati to serve in the tribal belt of Madhya Pradesh. There, he established and managed a Students’ Home for three years, offering guidance and support to those in need.
In addition to his Vedantic studies, he has also completed his Yoga Teacher Training Course (YTTC) at the renowned Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre in Nayyar Dam, Kerala.
