Swami Prakashananda was born in January 1949 in a small Italian village. At the age of seven he
immigrated to America with his family where he remained until 1969. During that period he had a number of mystical
experiences which led him to India in search of a spiritual master. After wandering throughout northern India,
meeting and living with different gurus and yogis, he was guided to the great Siddha, Swami Muktananda
Paramahamsa of Ganeshpuri (affectionately called 'Babaji by his devotees). Muktananda initiated him
into the ancient lineage of Siddha Yoga the moment he met him. Muktananda's initiation started a
process of deep meditation and yogic experiences which resulted in a complete spiritual transformation.
Swamiji lived in Muktananda's ashram, serving him in various ways for many years, while performing his
spiritual practices (sadhana). He also traveled with Babaji to numerous pilgrimage centers in India,
and when Muktananda left India on his last two world tours he asked Swamiji to accompany him.
After Muktananda's death in 1982, Swamiji went to live in Babaji's South Fallsburg, New York ashram, where he
remained mostly in solitude and silence for the next three and a half years practicing intense sadhana.
In 1986 Swamiji decided to leave the ashram to travel and share his experiences with others. Swamiji now
lives in California and continues to teach and inspire others on the spiritual path.
