Swami Ramananda founded the Sadhana Society in California in 1968. Walking across India with Mahatma Ghandi, he took his vows as a Swami. He then returned to the U.S., where he lived and taught the philosophy of the Upanishads, utilizing practices of the Native American. He passed from his body in 2004. It is not known how old he was.

Praises for
Everyday Life as Spiritual Practice

   "I heartily endorse Everyday Sanyasin as a life practice! I guarantee I am Yogi Sean’s toughest critic. I am of the original members of the Sadhana Society spiritual group. As a California “spiritual materialist”, I spent a few years of my life competing to be Ramananda’s best and favorite student. I see now that Yogi Sean is deserving of that honor.
   "He has preserved Ramananda’s teachings impeccably and brings to them a profound insight, wisdom and ability to inspire. I find Sean’s work true to the course that Ramananda created almost 40 years ago, and I regularly now reap the benefits of his years of commitment. It’s as though he prepared a wonderful meal that took tremendous planning, and now I can feast on the sumptuous creation! Bravo, Yogi Sean!

- Pamela Rousseau


   "Everyday Life as Spiritual Practice uses a unique mix of digital audio recordings, printed texts, a workbook, study groups, one-on-one support, and an on-line library containing the teachings of Swami Ramananda, Yogi Sean has manifested a truly modern vehicle for personal transformation that reaches back through its roots to the Vedas. This course, and those that follow, are a magnificent journey of self-empowerment and spiritual awakening."

- Melanie Pohlman
