ECLIPSE HEAD OF INSIGHT: MINDFULNESS, MEDITATION, EASTERN WISDOM & SPIRITUALITY
At Eclipse, Swami Vishweshwaranand serves as Head of Insight, overseeing all mindfulness and meditation practices. He brings deep expertise in the ancient wisdom of yoga and Eastern traditions, with a special ability to translate these teachings into practical modern life.
Born into a Brahmin family of scholars, he left home at the age of seven to begin his spiritual path under the guidance of Param Tapaswi Baba Shri Kalyan Das Ji of Amarkantak. On the banks of the Narmada, he received the divine Diksha of Shri Krishna and, in a mystical way, gained the esoteric Vidya of the Vedas and Gita.
Traveling across much of India with his master at a young age, he became well-versed in a wide range of Indian Vedic scriptures. At ten, he moved to Nainital for his early education and later completed university studies in Pune and Varanasi. Because of his profound understanding of life and his dedication, he was honored with the title of yogi early on, and began teaching Dhyan Praveshika, an entrance into the meditative state based on the Pranava Naad Sadhna of the Udasin tradition.
Drawn to the mystical side of philosophy, he also trained under the Kashmir Shaivite scholar Pt. Kamlakar Mishra of Varanasi. This path led him to teach at Shri Kalyanika Himalaya Devasthanam and to become a key leader in several institutions of the Matha, set in the Himalayas.
Widely respected as a natural scholar, the Swami has edited numerous journals and books and has contributed significantly to the structuring of ancient texts. Above all, he is devoted to helping people connect with their true self and to supporting them with wholehearted energy as they move forward on their life’s journey.
We are pleased to welcome you to this inspiring opportunity to learn, share, and grow together through the vast wisdom and treasures of yoga.
