About Swami Mukundananda


Background






Swami Mukundananda, an alumnus of IIT and IIM, is a world-renowned authority on spirituality, yoga and mind management.

Inclined towards spirituality from an early age, when his academic honours and a high-flying corporate career with the TATA’s also, could not satisfy his yearning, he took the order of Sanyas (monkhood) to probe deeper on the quintessential question of the purpose of human life.



In his quest for God realization, he arrived at the lotus feet of his spiritual master, Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, in whom he saw an ocean of scriptural knowledge and fathomless divine love. Under the guidance of his Guru, he practiced intense sadhana and studied the Indian and Western systems of philosophy.

Seeing his interest in Yoga, Shree Maharajji entrusted him the responsibility of teaching the real meaning of Yog (union with the Divine) to the world. Since then, Swamiji dedicated himself to guide millions across the globe, on the path of eternal happiness and a fulfilling life.

Service to Humankind







JKYog & Centers

Swamiji founded a unique Yogic system, known as “JKYog”, or “Yoga for the Body, Mind and Soul,” which blends the best practices of Hatha Yog with Bhakti Yog.

With the pressures of fast-paced modern lives, and the fading away of precious timeless wisdom, today Yoga, has been condensed to a mere form of physical exercise. Swamiji is dispelling this myth with the principles of JKYog, where participants learn practical tools and techniques to develop not just physical but also mental, intellectual and spiritual dimensions of their personality.

JKYog is institutionalized by Swamiji as, Jagadguru Kripalu Yog Trust in India (JKYog India) and Jagadguru Kripaluji Yog, (JKYog USA) a non-profit organization in the USA.


With 45 satsang centres and 7 ashrams in India, 20 satsang centres and 1 ashram in USA and a multitude of online offerings, JKYog is looked up to as a well-being partner by thousands of seekers, who attend Spiritual retreats, Knowledge sessions, Yoga and Meditation workshops, and Naturopathy camps to uplift their mind, body and soul.

Constantly growing as a global community under the guidance of Swamiji, JKYog and its activities have rendered meaning to many lives and has become a second home where the mind finds peace.
