Nowadays, yoga, meditation and mindfulness are rapidly becoming mainstream and globally accepted. They have become huge industries, and with the modern healthcare system recommending these practices more and more frequently to improve physical, mental and emotional health, their popularity will only keep increasing. Our modern lifestyles have become so taxing, especially mentally and emotionally, that mental health issues have become one of the leading causes of most of our physical health problems.
Ancient Sciences Deliver Practical Tools For A Healthier, & Happier Life
Due to the increasing demand and popularity for these ancient physical, mental and emotional well-being sciences, we also see many styles, programs and apps that claim to offer breathwork, mindfulness or meditation without delivering authentic techniques, knowledge and experiences.
Business Touch Magazine shares the knowledge and techniques Swami Purnachaitanya offers through his programs based on the ancient scriptures of the ancient sciences of yoga, meditation, breathwork, ayurveda and mantras. They are provided authentically and traditionally while delivered in a format that allows them to easily apply to our modern lifestyles. Being offered in their authentic forms, these ancient sciences deliver on their promises of being practical tools for a healthier, happier, more prosperous and fulfilling life.
Swami Purnachaitanya: A Life of Service
Ever since he was a child, Swami Purnachaitanya has been sensitive to the suffering of other people and animals. Whenever he witnessed someone struggling or in pain, he would be keen to help in any way possible.
His remarkable journey began over 15 years ago when he expressed his desire to be of maximum service to the world and to the great humanitarian and spiritual leader Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. Swami Purnachaitanya then moved to India after graduating to follow his Master, which amplified his spiritual abilities.
He started conducting training activities and overseeing various service projects for The Art of Living, including programs such as rural development, prisoner rehabilitation, and educational initiatives. During this time, he also travelled extensively to share valuable knowledge for a happier and healthier lifestyle, even in the remotest places. These experiences became a fertile training ground for his path to becoming a monk, living a simple life and of little needs.
Purnachaitanya means- “he whose consciousness has fully blossomed.”
To acknowledge his high consciousness and commitment to dedicating his life to serving others, he received his title as Swami, or monk, at 27. The word Swami means “one who is established in the Self,” and Purnachaitanya, the name given by his master, means “he whose consciousness has fully blossomed.”
Since then, Swami Purnachaitanya has travelled extensively across Asia, Africa and Europe, conducting programs in over 30 countries for audiences as varied as heads of state, celebrities, prison inmates, corporate executives, and humble villagers. Through his talks, programs, mantras and podcasts, he has already made a positive change in the lives of hundreds of thousands worldwide. His first book, Looking Inward, written during the Covid pandemic lockdown, has become a practical guide to meditation and finding inner peace and calm for many worldwide. It became an international bestseller and has been translated into more than 10 languages.
Swami Purnachaitanya A Unique Bridge Between The East And West
Through years of study and practice, Swami Purnachaitanya has become a unique bridge between the East and West. Today, he continues his journey as a Dutch monk, living a life of simplicity and devotion, connecting ancient Vedic wisdom with modern needs. Known for his kindness, humility and great sense of humour, his teachings, deeply rooted in the old tradition, touch and inspire people from all backgrounds.
His sole purpose is to share his discovered treasures and help people live happier and more fulfilling lives. Join Swami Purnachaitanya on his journey of self-discovery, and learn how his teachings can transform your life. As Swami Purnachaitanya mainly works with volunteers, the Art of Living Foundation being a volunteer-based movement, practical and inspiring leadership is essential.
People volunteer only when inspired and feel like it, as there are no incentives like salary or other personal gains. They are also not bound by any contracts or agreements. This means that the organization’s culture is not just the most important; it is essential as it is the main thing keeping the organization and its volunteers together. This is a culture of respect and care for all, where a spirit of service, wanting to contribute towards the greater good and making the world more beautiful and peaceful, is violence-free and stress-free.
The founder’s life, work and wisdom, Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, inspires the Art of Living Foundation volunteers. As a close disciple of Gurudev and senior trainer for the Art of Living, Swami Purnachaitanya helps to instil these values and ideals in the volunteers by also living life by these principles. By “walking the talk” and leading by example, others get inspired and find the courage and drive to inculcate and follow these principles.
