| | Swami Jnaneshvara Bharati |
 | | In 1999, initiation as Dandi Swami (a most honorific swami initiation in the Shankara tradition, in which a Danda, or staff is bestowed) was given at the bank of the Ganges in Haridwar, India by a highly revered Acharya (teacher) of Dandi Swamis, Acharya Dandi Swami Indradev Ashram. |
 | | The program was developed primarily by Swami Jnaneshvara due to the fact that the other swami in residence said he had no time for such a program, and that he would have no time in the future. |
 | | While Swami Rama named no single successor of the lineage, Swami Jnaneshvara is one of those whom Swami Rama empowered as a conduit of the teachings of this over 5,000 year old tradition. |
