Inspired by Pujya Swami Chinmayananda, under the guidance of Pujya Swami Brahmananda
(CM Bangalore), Swami Ishwarananda left his software profession and joined Sandeepany Sadhanalaya in
Mumbai, India, in 1991.
Upon completing his training, he served as a brahmachari in CM Bangalore and CM Kolkata, in India. In 1995,
he was made resident acharya of Chinmaya Mission Southern California.
In 2000, he received sannyasa diksha from Pujya Swami Tejomayananda. Swami Ishwarananda resided in Mumbai,
India (2002-2004), as acharya of the 12th Vedanta course for brahmacharis (2002-2004) at Sandeepany
Sadhanalaya.
Dr. Milroy Samuel, one of central Ohio's leading OBGYN's and current AIABG President adds "Swamiji is a
dynamic speaker and has given talks on Vedanta, stress and mind management, management techniques, and
related topics. His advise and intuition can be of use to everyone, regardless of cultural background."
His clarity in Vedanta is apparent in his talks as he presents with ease, humor, and wit, complex philosophical
subjects. He has also authored two highly acclaimed books: 'Conscious Living' and 'Silent Search.' Swamiji
currently resides in Tustin, California, and is the acharya of CM Tustin and CM Bakersfield.
