The Formative Years
Swami Mukundananda was born on 19 December, 1960, and spent his formative years in various parts of India. From a very young age, he displayed a deep inclination toward spirituality. Even as a child, he was naturally drawn to meditation and contemplation, reflecting an innate thirst for life’s eternal truths.
His brilliance led him to two of India's most prestigious institutions - earning him a degree in Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT Delhi) and later an MBA from the Indian Institute of Management (IIM Calcutta).
During his academic years, he immersed himself in the writings of saints and spiritual scriptures, which intensified his longing for higher realisation. By the time he graduated, his hunger for spiritual awakening had grown ever stronger, and he began to follow the path of Shree Krishna Bhakti.
Spiritual Calling
After taking up the order of Sanyas, he embarked on a spiritual journey that led him to the holy land of Braj and many other sacred places across India. His experiences with enlightened and scholarly saints only strengthened his resolve. Determined to find a true spiritual master, he continued his journey for many years, learning from the holy saints he met along the way. During these travels, he closely associated with many elevated saints of India, studied the writings of the great Acharyas of the past, and practiced intense devotion.
Meeting the Spiritual Master
Under Shree Maharajji’s guidance, he practiced intense sadhana while residing at the ashram and extensively studied the Vedic scriptures, Indian and Western systems of philosophy. Upon completion of his studies, his Guru entrusted him with the sacred task of spreading the eternal knowledge of the Supreme Truth across the world.
The Prachar Begins
Swami Mukundananda's divine mission of spiritual upliftment began in the sacred land of Odisha, where he conducted Yoga, Bhakti, and Meditation camps. His powerful lectures and soulful presence drew hundreds of thousands of seekers, igniting a spiritual movement that soon transcended borders. With tireless enthusiasm, Swamiji established congregational centers across India, Nepal, Singapore, Malaysia, and the USA, where audiences deeply resonated with his message of self-realisation, devotion and divine love.
Establishing JKYog
On his Guru’s instructions, Swami Mukundananda founded Jagadguru Kripaluji Yog (JKYog) — a holistic system that harmoniously integrates Yog and Bhakti. Drawing from his in-depth study of diverse yogic traditions across India, he synthesized their finest practices into a unified discipline aimed at aligning the body, mind, and soul. To share the timeless wisdom of the Vedic scriptures and promote holistic spiritual growth, Swamiji established Jagadguru Kripalu Yog Trust (JKYog India) and Jagadguru Kripaluji Yog (JKYog USA). Through these organizations, he continues to tirelessly guide individuals toward physical well-being, mental tranquility, and spiritual fulfillment by integrating the essence of various spiritual teachings.
Charity & Educational Initiatives
Under Swamiji’s guidance, JKYog has evolved into a global movement that conducts spiritual retreats, yoga workshops, and discourses across continents—transforming countless lives and inspiring seekers to live in inner harmony and divine connection.
Committed to uplifting society through compassion and service, Swamiji has also established numerous humanitarian and educational initiatives, including charitable hospitals, a university, and community outreach programs that provide free healthcare, education, and nourishment to the underprivileged.
Through these endeavors, Swamiji exemplifies the true essence of spirituality - where inner enlightenment naturally blossoms into selfless service for the welfare of all.
