  • Sri Nithya Atmapujananda Swami

Surviving an attack by a mob of 50 people, Atmapujananda Swami was unsuspecting and defenceless about the planned attacks by Hindu extremist militants. Isolated from any help, he managed to survive multiple attacks on his life in Varanasi. He survived a biological bomb in Bangalore, and an assassination attempt in Thailand - all these meant to kill his Guru.

Sri Nithya Atmapujananda Swami

I was born in India, and studied Economics at Utkal University, Orissa. In 2007 I had a successful career and a wonderful life. I held a senior position at a private company in Mumbai, India. However, I had a deep yearning and longing to meet a Guru to guide me on my spiritual path. After seeking for many years, I found His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda, whom I call Swamiji. In December of 2007, I found my way to Him in the Bengaluru Aadheenam (temple monastery complex). Ever since I met my Guru I was experiencing a deep powerful space of compassion for all living beings. From this space, I was serving at the Varanasi Aadheenam (temple monastery complex) at the sacred crematorium Manikarnika Ghat at the banks of the river Ganga, engrossing myself in socio-religious activities. Hundreds of people come to the crematorium to burn the dead bodies of their near and dear ones daily. We served vegetarian sattvic food and offered medical help to the nearby residents and visitors. Also, we were running a free school for poor children. A Vedic Vidyalaya (school based on the Vedas) was also in the process of being started.
