Tom ZahnasA green architect and a traveller

“I have been to a few of Devamrita's lectures and I appreciate his ability to translate complex ancient Indian teachings into the language of modern day man. This makes it easier for me to apply the wisdom and qualities of ancient yogis to my every-day life.”

“
Rajkumar BuyyaProfessor and Director of Cloud Computing Lab at Melbourne University

“Devamrita Swami is an inspiring spiritual teacher with accomplished academic credentials and delivers his realised knowledge with perfect precision. His teachings dig deep into realities of our pursuits and offer a clear pathway for achieving our best with purity and purpose whether one is a college student or working professional. I found his insights relevant now more than ever in our fast paced modern (city) life.”

“
John BrookesCommunity Worker and activist

“If you are interested in history, physics, archaeology, geology, politics, spirituality and the connections between all six, you will be fascinated by Searching for Vedic India. Most importantly, by providing information that challenges the picture of man in antiquity as a slobbering Hobbesian beast, Devamrita Swami shows us our abilities to meet the challenges facing mankind today by revealing the genius of man in the past.”

“
Marie du toitYoga Teacher and Chef

“Unexpectedly relevant, profound and practically applicable. An ongoing source of inspiration”
