A living tradition, spoken plainly.
Swami Aditya (Swami Adityananda Saraswati) is a Himalayan sannyasi in the ancient Vedic Shankaracharya tradition — a teacher of Sanatan Dharma, life lived in harmony with natural law. After eleven years of mantra, meditation and austerity in the Himalayas, he now travels and teaches the living traditions of Mantra Japa and Tapa — plain, practical, and open to anyone who wants to see more clearly.
Hear him in his own words
A conversation with Swami Aditya and Darius Kiaulakis on the living wisdom of Sanatan Dharma and living the teaching in an ordinary modern life — the plain, unhurried way he actually speaks.
Who Swami Aditya is
Swami Aditya was born into a Brahmin family in India and, by his own account, lived much like anyone else: university, work abroad, early ambitions fulfilled. Yet the success did not bring peace of mind. In his own words, “I was not getting the true path myself.” That restlessness led him back to India, where he met his Guru, Swami Sadananda Saraswati of the Shankaracharya tradition, and was given the path of tapa — austere practice.
He went to the Himalayas and meditated for eleven years — in caves and monasteries, with almost no shelter, in temperatures as low as minus twenty degrees, holding the great yamas and niyamas and repeating mantras until the truth answered from within. “I didn't read answers from any spiritual text or books,” he says. “I got answers from myself.”
In 1999 he was initiated as Swami Adityananda Saraswati in the ancient Vedic Shankaracharya sannyasa tradition — a teacher-to-disciple lineage (parampara) the tradition traces back to around 800 BCE. His practice included millions of repetitions of the Gayatri, Mahamrityunjaya, Baglamukhi and Mahavidya mantras in the tantric tradition of the sannyasa lineage. Over time he wove together Jyotish (Vedic astrology), Ayurveda, numerology, gemology, tantra and the practice of tapa into one living path, and has guided the building of temples across India and led ashrams and monasteries in the Himalayas.
When his Guru told him his practice was complete, he was sent back to people to share what he had learned and to keep learning from life itself. “I am not complete without the world,” he says. Today he travels and teaches worldwide, reviving the traditions of Mantra Japa and Tapa that many seekers have lost, and meets the simplest and oldest questions directly: Who am I? Why am I here? How do I live by dharma? How do I become free of karma? He holds group satsangs and private conversations with seekers across Europe, supported by his translator and long-time student Gileta Aadi.

On what ground
- Initiated as Swami Adityananda Saraswati in 1999, in the Dashanami sannyasa tradition of Advaita Vedanta (the ancient Shankaracharya parampara).
- Eleven years of Himalayan tapa: mantra, meditation and austerity in caves and monasteries, under his Guru Swami Sadananda Saraswati and the Himalayan siddhas.
- Ordained Brahmand Rishi (universal sage) for a teaching that is scientific and practical, not sectarian.
- Lifelong practical study of Jyotish, Ayurveda, Vastu, numerology, gemology, mantra, yantra and tantra — applied, not academic.
- Teacher of Sanatan Dharma in plain language, drawing on the whole living tradition; no membership, no conversion, no belief required.
He does not call himself an astrologer or a scholar. His authority is the direct work of seeing clearly and helping others do the same.
How the teaching is offered
No one can raise you to the heights of spirit but a true Guru and your own honest effort, together. The work asks you to set down ego and false pride — and the teaching is offered to make that work plain and practical.
Plain, not mystical
Sanskrit terms are explained, not performed. If an idea can't be said clearly, it isn't ready to be taught.
Practical, not preachy
The test of a teaching is whether it changes how you meet Monday morning — work, relationships, fear — not whether it sounds profound.
Inquiry, not dogma
You're invited to question everything and keep only what proves true in your own experience. No belief is required to begin.
What you can count on
- Honest claims only. No fabricated credentials, no fake reviews, no inflated numbers.
- Honest pricing. Prices shown plainly — never hidden behind a sales call.
- No pressure. No fake scarcity, countdown timers, or hard closes.
- Clear boundaries. Guidance is not therapy; we say so, and point you to the right help when it's needed.
- Access. If cost is a genuine barrier, write to us. No one is turned away solely for lack of funds.
Where this sits
This teaching does not compete with your religion, your therapy, or your meditation app, and it never disparages another teacher or path. It sits alongside your life as one more honest lens — the living wisdom of Sanatan Dharma — for seeing clearly and acting well.
If it serves you, stay. If it doesn't, leave with our blessing. That freedom is the point.

Gileta is the bridge that lets the teaching land in Lithuanian, Russian and other languages — live, in the same moment, so no seeker is left outside the room.
She is a naturopath (Sabarmati University, India), a yoga teacher (RYT200, Hari Om Yoga Vidya School, India), an Ayurveda consultant (Jiva Ayurveda Academy, Lithuania–India), an emergency-medicine paramedic and a massage therapist. For thirty years she has worked in modern emergency medicine; for seventeen years she has practised and taught Ayurveda, yoga, pranayama and holistic health.
She organizes Swami Aditya’s visits and satsangs in Lithuania and other countries, and provides the live translation that makes the group satsangs accessible across languages.
Machine captions explain words; a trusted interpreter carries the tone, timing and presence of the teaching. The same tradition has used live interpreters for centuries — because wisdom is not only information, it is relationship.
Satsangs are delivered in English with a live interpretation channel. Ask your question in your own language and hear the answer as it is given.
The honest next step is to simply sit once
Come to a live satsang, listen, ask your question if you have one. Decide from experience, not from a sales page.
