His Holiness Swami Tejomayananda, the present spiritual head of Chinmaya Mission® worldwide, is fulfilling the vision that Swami Chinmayananda charted. As he puts it, “I am not in Swamiji’s shoes; I am at His feet.”
NEED TO UPDATE
Swami Tejomayananda has served as acharya (dean) of the Sandeepany institutes of Vedanta (gurukulas of Chinmaya Mission®) in India, and as acharya in Mission centers in India and the US. He has written commentaries on scriptural texts, translated Swami Chinmayananda’s commentaries into Hindi, and authored a number of books. A key contribution is Hindu Culture: An Introduction, which has been acclaimed for its clear description of the basics of Hinduism and adopted as a reference text in some American high schools.
Swamiji excels in expounding upon a wide spectrum of Hindu scriptures, from Ramayana, to Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, to the Upanishads. His easy manner, combined with his in-depth analyses and devotional renderings of Vedantic texts, have drawn many newcomers into the spiritual fold.
