Swami Sarveshwarananda Giri, affectionately known as “the Storytelling Monk”, is a French-born Kriya Yoga teacher and founder of the Hariharananda Mission in the U.S.A. and in India, and the Network of Love in South America. After practicing as a doctor in acupuncture, he followed the order of his legendary Kriya master Paramahamsa Hariharananda (a direct disciple of Swami Shriyukteshwarji), to “become a doctor of the soul” and went on to serve as his guru’s personal monastic attendant in the last years of his life. An empowered yogacharya in the lineage of Babaji, Lahiri Mahasaya and Paramahamsa Yogananda, Swamiji continuously travels around the globe teaching the spiritual science of Kriya Yoga, composing and chanting sacred chants, and providing education and shelter to poor children, widows, and senior citizens in Latin America and in the Himalayas. He is also actively writing a series of books on wisdom tales, holy humor, the metaphorical interpretation of the world scriptures, and on the philosophy, science and practice of Kriya Yoga. Humility radiates in every cell of his body, service to mankind inspires him to work tirelessly, and wisdom shines in his face at every moment.
