A Space for Spiritual Sadhana
Swami Chidananda The Guiding Light
Spiritual wisdom is unparalleled in its power to purify and transform. Such
jnāna (wisdom) has the shakti (power) to take us across the river of suffering.
Spiritual wisdom removes the agitations caused by wrong ways of living in the
past and the fear of erring in the future. (Inspiration: Geetā)
Swami Chidananda Ji was inspired by the uplifting discourses of his mentor Swami Chinmayananda Ji. He served Chinmaya Mission for over 18 years and later was at Krishnamurti Foundation India, Varanasi for 10 years.
Swami Ji founded Fowai Forum in 2006, dedicated to self-awareness and service to humanity. Fowai stands for Flame Of Who Am I. He visits different parts of India and other countries like the USA conducting seminars and workshops.
Swami Ji’s talks and seminars on life issues, educational themes, and spiritual texts like Bhagawad Geeta and Upanishads are published through YouTube (Fowai Channel), Webinars, other electronic media,
books, magazines, newsletters, etc. Residential Sadhana camps and lectures at corporate platforms and academic institutions are further highlights of his dedicated service to discerning audiences.
Born in 1957 in Kundapura, Karnataka, he received B.E. from Mysore University and M.Tech from IIT Madras. He briefly served Hindustan Computers (HCL) and also taught at Bangalore Institute of Technology.
