Our Hosts

Swami Nardanand Paramahams

A revered Siddha Master, Swami Ji Maharaj Nardanand Paramahams was born in northern India and began his spiritual journey at the age of 8 under the guidance of Swami Laxananda Ji Maharaj. Renouncing worldly life at 14, he dedicated himself to the pursuit of Divine Truth, wandering as a pilgrim to holy sites across India.

In 1985, he met his Shaktipat Guru, Swami Shivom Tirth Maharaj, and was initiated into the Siddha Maha Yoga lineage. After years of meditative austerity in the Himalayas and jungles, Swami Nardanand Ji founded Siddha Ashram in Ujjain, India, as guided by his Guru. Empowered to share Shaktipat—the awakening of one’s divine potential—he has tirelessly traveled the world, guiding spiritual seekers to liberation and self-realization.

With a pure heart devoted to humanity’s progress, his mission is to alleviate suffering and inspire spiritual awakening in all beings.

Swami Ogananda

Swami Ogananda is a dear brother whom we have had the pleasure of meeting through Grandmother Jyoti Ma of The Fountain at our Shared Dreaming Retreat in Portugal in November 2024. Swami is a master of the Shaktipat tradition and has trained with Swami Nardanand Paramahams for many years.

He is going to be our primary host at Kumbh Mela as we arrive to the Shaktipat ashram in Ujjain with Swami Ogananda and Swami Nardanand Paramahams prior to Prayagraj for Kumbh Mela.

All participants will be initiated in the Shaktipat tradition with a blessing from Swami Nardanand Paramahams along with daily meditations to help the Shakti continue to rise and move in our lives for continual renewal and bliss.
