Swami Atmananda

Swami Atmananda

Śrĩ Atmananda Śrĩ Kṛiṣṇa Menon (1883 - 1959) was a well-known sage and guru. He was a householder and showed by his life and teachings that ordinary life can be a type of meditation, yoga, or striving towards mokṣa, or liberation from karma. He spent most of his life employed as a police prosecutor. He predicted he would die six years after his wife did. He also discussed many variations of philosophy within Vedanta and the Upaniṣads, including Ajativada.

Quotation
