Swami Vyasa Prasad is the current in-charge of the Narayana Gurukula at Fernhill, Nilgiris, Tamil Nadu. After completing his university education, he embarked on a spiritual journey, drawn to the wisdom teachings of the BhagavadgÁtÀ. This led to his first encounter with Guru Nitya Chaitanya Yati in 1979, an experience that inspired him to live and study under Guru Nitya Chaitanya Yati’s guidance. Swami Vyasa Prasad was given saÚnyÀsa in 1992 and went on to serve as the head of the Gita Ashram in Fiji from 1992 to 2000.
Today, he dedicates himself to the study and contemplation of Narayana Guru’s life and teachings, both through original works and the commentaries by Nataraja Guru, Guru Nitya Chaitanya Yati and Guru Muni Narayana Prasad. Alongside his daily responsibilities, he contributes to the Gurukula’s English publications. Initiated by Guru Nitya Chaitanya Yati, Swami Vyasa Prasad is interested in understanding, preserving, living, revaluing and sharing Narayana Guru’s contemplative philosophy.
