Swami Mitrananda Saraswati
Spiritual Mentor, Chinmaya Mission Chennai
Swami Mitranandaji is the Spiritual Mentor of Chinmaya Mission Chennai and the National Advisor of All India Chinmaya Yuvakendra (AICHYK).
On completing his graduation in English literature, he took to his inner calling and joined the Sandeepany Sadhanalaya, Mumbai in the year 1989 and was initiated by Swami Chinmayananda as Br. Swabodh Chaitanya in May 1991. He was later initiated into the holy order of sannyasa by Swami Tejomayananda in the year 1999 and named as Swami Mitrananda.
Currently, Swamiji serves on the Advisory Board of the Ektma Dham Project, an initiative of the Government of Madhya Pradesh dedicated to promoting the timeless vision of Adi Shankaracharya and the spirit of oneness.
Yet, amidst all these roles, Swamiji’s most cherished identity is that of a devoted disciple of Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda. Every moment of his life reflects his Guru’s teachings, and through his own example, he continuously inspires people to live that vision with love, courage, and clarity.
