About Swami Guruparananda
Swami Guruparananda is a traditional teacher of Vedanta in the lineage of Swami Paramarthananda, one of the foremost exponents of Advaita Vedanta in our time. For decades, he has dedicated his life to making the Vedantic scriptures accessible — teaching the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita and the works of Adi Shankaracharya to students and seekers with clarity, patience and depth.
His ashram, Poornalayam, near Vedanthangal in Tamil Nadu, is a place of quiet learning and contemplative living. Talks recorded at Poornalayam are made freely available to students worldwide — a quiet act of service that reaches far beyond his immediate community.
Swami Guruparananda represents a generation of teachers who chose depth over fame — whose contribution to the continuity of living Vedanta is immeasurable, and whose needs are often invisible to the world they have served.
