Swami Paramahamsa was born to a childless couple after they received the blessing of Great Grand Master Swami Omananada. At the age of four Swami Paramahamsa's biological parents presented their child to the Great Grand Master, who in turn took him to his snow covered cave in the Himalayas. Under the guidance of this Great Grand Master Swami Omananda, Swami Paramahamsa mastered all ancient Vedic and classic yogic scriptures.

As an ascetic, he also underwent several yogic techniques in pursuit of oneness with the Truth (all pervading primal Divine energy). After invitation at a young age, he began a twelve year period of solitude in a cave meditating, observing complete silence and surviving on milk alone. He thus attained Enlightenment.

In the following years, Swami Paramahamsa only left the Himalayas once every twelve years to join the Mahakumbha, one of the most significant gatherings of spiritual masters and seekers in India. During these events, he addressed seekers from all walks of life and from different parts of the world. His ability to distil the truth and teach the essentials necessary for progress on one's path to enlightenment, attracted enormous crowds. He initiated only a select number of the most sincere seekers.

In 2002 he began descending from the Himalayas once a year. During this time he was increasingly exposed to and developed an understanding of modern life and culture in India and the West. Gradually, he spent more and more time responding to the requests of people to share his knowledge and to provide guidance on practices that could be applied in practical terms in the context of the demands of daily, contemporary life.

Recently, Swamiji has decided to establish Rishikesh as a base center to focus further on this stage of his life that is dedicated to serving those in pursuit of spiritual enlightenment. He assists anyone with sincere interest in spirituality regardless of the number of years they have consciously spent and the degree of advancement they have achieved in reaching their spiritual goals.
