About the teacher
Swami Atmananda Udasin
Before taking to the spiritual life, Swami Atmananda Udasin studied Theology, Indian Philosophy and Comparative Religion in Louvain, Paris and Jerusalem. In 2001 he received sannyasa initiation from his master, Sri Chandra Swami Udasin, entering a monastic lineage of classical Advaita Vedanta.
In 2003 he founded Ajatananda Ashram in Rishikesh as an explicitly interreligious space, open to seekers from any background. His teaching of the Direct Path draws especially on Ramana Maharshi, Nisargadatta Maharaj, Papaji and Swami Abhishiktananda, pointing students toward silence and self-inquiry rather than doctrine. He offers regular satsangs and retreats in India and overseas; many of his French-language satsangs are given with simultaneous English translation.
