LifeParamahamsa Prajñanananda was born in 1960 in the village of Pattamundai in Orissa, India. He has always been a sincere seeker of truth. After a childhood filled with prayer and a youth enriched by education in conjunction with meditation, the former Trioki Das became a caring teacher as a professor of Economics and guided and inspired many of his students spiritually. As a college student, through an unquenchable thirst for God, he met many saints and visited many ashrams in the Himalayas, looking for a spiritual guide. While still a student, he met his master Paramahamsa Hariharanandaji, who initiated him into the path of Kriya Yoga. BrahmachariTriloki Das was later initiated into the path of monkhood by his master, becoming Swami Prajñanananda Giri. On August 10, 1998, on his 39th birthday, the title of Paramahamsa, the highest title reserved for monks, who attain the summit of realization, who are inspired and divine teachers, guides and saints, was conferred upon him by his loving and divine master Paramahamsa Hariharananda. His metaphorical interpretations of the scriptures are very unique. Using Kriya Yoga as a reference point and an interpretative tool, Prajñanananda manages to reveal the hidden truths contained in the most complex passages of the sacred texts in ways, which make the meanings relevant and helpful in our daily lives. With thought-provoking statements and revelatory explanations, quotations from the Bible and Bhagavad-Gita, and incidents from the lives of great souls, Paramahamsa Prajñanananda distills the wisdom of the ages into clear, relevant instructions on leading a pious and spiritual life in the world today. Gearing his lectures to the modern world of East and West, peppering them with colorful anecdotes, in his humorous yet compassionate style, with constant words of encouragement to those who must continue to live in the world, he guides disciples with the love of a mother. The power of his teachings lies in their simplicity and direct relevance to ours lives. He teaches one of the simplest truths of the scriptures. One needs not only the desire for salvation, but also the guidance of the Guruand the regular practice of meditation and then and only then comes realization.

Some of his works include The Torah, The Bible and Kriya Yoga; Babaji: The Eternal Light of God; Discourses on the Bhagavad-Gita Parts 1 and 2; Lahiri Mahasaya: Fountainhead of Kriya Yoga; Swami Sri Yukteswar: Incarnation of Wisdom; Paramahamsa Hariharananda: River of Compassion and Yoga: Pathway to the Divine: Divine Blossoms and Universe Within.
