The Art of Parenting (Audio Discourses)

Raised in a lively, creative family, his early interests straddled business and economics, yet he was drawn deeply toward spiritual seeking. The clarity of Swami Chinmayananda’s commentary on the Bhagavad Gita captured his heart, leading him to join the Chinmaya Yuva Kendra (CHYK), the youth wing of the Mission. He entered the Residential Vedanta Course in Mumbai under Swami Tejomayananda’s guidance and in 1992, he was initiated into sannyasa, receiving the name Swami Swaroopananda.

From early service in the Far East, including in Hong Kong and the South East Asian region, he has blended reverence for traditional Vedanta with relevance to today’s world. Under his leadership, the Mission has expanded its reach in youth work, education, family camps and spiritual outreach. He is the visionary behind the “Make It Happen™” course, a life-transforming programme that has empowered thousands worldwide to break limitations, unlock inner strength and translate dreams into reality.

With his unique blend of Vedantic wisdom and practical guidance, Swamiji inspires us not just to think of change but to make it happen in our health, our work, and our spiritual growth. In addition he has authored several books, including Storm to Perform, Ik Onkar and Journey into Health.

Swami Swaroopananda is known for bringing Vedanta into everyday life with insight, compassion and energy. Whether speaking with students, professionals, or spiritual seekers across cultures, his message is practical and transformative. As both teacher and guide, he continues to carry forward the lineage upholding the clarity, devotion and service that has always defined Chinmaya Mission.
