Swami Shankarananda
Baltimore’s Awake Yoga Meditation Community was founded by Swami Shankarananda of the Giri Swami Order. In 1974, his teacher, Swami Premananda, blessed the inauguration of what was then called Divine Life Church of Absolute Monism where I met Swami Shankarananda, known as Acharya Peter, at the time, in 1971.
While the Divine Life Church was being renovated in 1974, the Divine Life Church services were held in my home in Baltimore. I studied with him for over almost 2 decades and I loved him. I left Baltimore in 1993 to come to California.
In 1995, Swami Shankarananda created the Universal Swami Order, which continues the Ancient Swami Order but now includes women as well as men, married as well as unmarried devotees.
Swami Shankarananda left the body on November 24, 2014.
Dive into the mystic path of liberation from the base of the spine as Swami Shankarananda explores the first of the “centers of unfoldment” in our body: muladhar, the root chakra. Learn how Kundalini energy works with meditation to help us master our attachments, always receive answers to our prayers, and be guided through our every difficulty.
