  About Swami Shyam
Swami Shyam has shown that we can develop our ability to perceive the truth of our Self, which never changes, never worries and never becomes miserable, which never rises or falls, despite the continual changes that we experience every day as human beings.
Swami Shyam was born in the heart of India, whose rich tradition is of Aatma Gyan, the knowledge (Gyan) of Self (Aatma), but he maintains that this knowledge is universal, because it applies to all people.
Swami Shyam's life, his teachings and his vision provide for all people the understanding, the technique and the way to live a life without fear or ignorance, a life full of inspiration, love and intelligence, forever peaceful and free.
