Teachers
SWAMI VISHWESHWARANAND
As the Head of Insight at Eclipse, Swami Vishweshwaranand is in charge of conducting all mindfulness & meditation practices.
He is an expert in the ancient wisdom of Yoga & the Eastern Traditions & their translation into modern life practices.
Born in a Brahmin family of scholars, Swami Vishweshwaranand left his home at the young age of 7 years & started his spiritual journey under the benign guidance of Param Tapaswi Baba Shri Kalyan Das Ji of Amarkantak. On the banks of Narmada, he received the divine Diksha of Shri Krishna and got the esoteric Vidya of Vedas & Gita in a mystic manner.
He traveled most of India with his master at a very young age and got versed in various Indian Vedic scriptures. At the age of 10, he was sent to Nainital for his elementary education & later on received his university education from Pune & Varanasi.
Due to his deep understanding of life and dedication, this yogi was bestowed upon him in his early days and he then started teaching Dhyan Praveshika - entrance into a meditative state, a technique based on the Pranava Naad Sadhna of Udasin tradition.
He was also fascinated by the mystical aspects of philosophy and therefore was trained under the mystic Kashmir Shaivite Pt. Kamlakar Mishra of Varanasi. As a result, Swami Vishweshwaranand started teaching at Shri Kalyanika Himalaya Devasthanam & has been a key leader in various institutions of the Matha, nestled in the Himalayas.
Known as a natural scholar, the Swami has edited various journals & books; he has played a vital role in structuring ancient texts.
He is passionate about seeing people connect with their true selves and is driven to put all his energy to support others into thriving in their life’s journey.
