“When you enter India, you’ll find a lot of people claiming they are gurus or masters. But most of them are just teachers. When I met Swami Omkarananda, it was clear very fast, that he’s not one of the guys talking out of book-wisdom, but he’s speaking from experience, which he gained through spiritual practice under guidance of enlightened masters. So if you come to Rishikesh, I would definitely recommend anyone to get to know him, to see, whether he could be the person to be guided for a small or even bigger part of your life.”

There are many teachers and yogis who have lots of knowledge and experience, but few teachers embody the unconditional love and joy of God in the way that Swamiji does. It is clear when you spend even a little time with him that he is a dear friend, a master, and a Guru.

His undeniable wisdom and warm compassion are deeply profound and powerful to be around. In Swami’s presence it is natural to be at peace, it is easy to love, his very presence encourages one to abide in Truth. In addition to being an example of wisdom and love, he is incredibly intelligent, well spoken, and tremendously knowledgeable.

Swami’s gifts are many, his experience is extensive, his knowledge is complete, and his heart is genuine; however, despite so much experience and depth he remains simple, sweet, and deeply humble. It is a rare gift to meet someone like Swami Omkarananda, one feels in meeting a master like him that grace itself has appeared as a human being to guide others to liberation and realization.

I know that I will be forever grateful for having had the company of such a sage, master, and dear friend. Those who have this great good fortune are blessed by his Divine presence.

I feel very blessed to have met Swami Omkarananda and honored to have had the opportunity to learn from him. It’s rare to find someone with his knowledge, experience and wisdom, along with an incredible sense of humor. But most importantly it’s his heart that makes him so unique. He radiates so much love and compassion. There are no words to accurately describe a man like Swami Omkarananda. He has deeply touched my heart and I will forever be grateful.
