About Swami Mitrananda
 Swami Mitrananda is the Acharya of Chinmaya Mission, Chennai, and Director of the All India Chinmaya Yuva Kendra (AICHYK) the global youth wing of Chinmaya Mission. Inspired by the truth on which his Master, H. H. Swami Chinmayananda, stood rooted, he took up the study of ancient Hindu Philosophy at Sandeepany Sadhanalaya, in Mumbai, in 1989. He has dedicated his life to the service of humanity, and travels all over India and South East Asia, conveying the profound Vedantic Truth with appealing logic and clarity. He is a highly sought-after speaker in the corporate circle and has delivered management related talks to various leading corporate-houses.

Swami Mitrananda has a huge youth following, largely because of his innovative methodologies in making the ancient wisdom of Hinduism extraordinarily appealing to the rational and adventure-seeking young minds. Under his leadership, the Chinmaya Yuva Kendra organized two large-scale projects, the nationwide ‘Awakening Indians to India’ quiz program and the Youth Empowerment Programme. Through the Awakening Indians to India quiz programme, he reached out to 500,000 youth across the nation and thus, conducted the largest ever quiz in the sub-continent. The Youth Empowerment Programme was designed by him to create empowered and dynamic youth leaders to do socially relevant work in different parts of India and abroad. 

Swami Mitrananda has travelled to many countries including United Kingdom, Turkey, Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, Hong Kong, China and Dubai to spread the message of Hinduism and Vedanta. He has lectured at various leading corporate houses of India such as Hyundai Motors, Polaris Industries, TVS Group, and has also addressed students of leading business schools in India such as Symbiosis Institute of Management. He represented India at the Global Forum of Faith-based Organizations for Population and Development organized by UNFPA in Turkey in October 2008.
