Life[edit]
In his early childhood years, Swami Paramanand was destined to become an enlightened master of this Age. He revealed early signs of spiritual maturity towards the path of renunciation. At the age of 21, Swami Paramanand met his Guru, His Holiness Swami Akhandanand of the ancient order, Dashanami Sampradaya, in 1956. After completing secondary education, Swami Paramanand received Sannyasa Diksha from His Holiness and underwent strict discipline for a period of seven years. During his years of penance and strict observance of purification, he mastered the senses and persevered onward in the attainment of Self Realization. This led into service of karma yoga within the society for the welfare of all people. Swami Paramanand transmits transcendental consciousness through meditation and awakening of kundalini to seekers of truth who are reaching for Self Realization.

He travelled back to America in 2001 and visited several states and eventually Akhand Param Dham of America was established in Virginia. Swami Paramanand extended his teachings of Vedanta to Brazil, Belgium, Canada, England, Russia, New Zealand and United States over the last eighteen years. His legacy of 62 years of service have impacted millions throughout India and worldwide. His profound realization of Brahman has encouraged many on the path to Self Realization. His wisdom extends beyond the horizon of time and space. Seekers do experience his purpose and divine nature.[6]
Teachings[edit]
Swami Paramanand's message is simple:Know Thyself. Swami Paramanand tells us that we are the Ocean, but that momentarily we have forgotten who we are and think that we are an individual wave instead. We are in the process of remembering our true essence. It is through understanding and experiencing ourselves that we can reunite with our true soul consciousness and remember who we are and why we have come here. It is then that we may be the playful wave that knows it is the Ocean, and retain a deep peace within the Oneness.
