Swami Turiyananda – From Boardrooms to the Himalayas
There was a time when Swami Turiyananda’s life was defined by numbers, markets, and billion-dollar deals. As one of India’s brightest academic minds All-India ICSE board topper, Singapore Government Scholar, engineer from NTU Singapore, and MBA in Finance from the University of London he rose quickly in the global financial world, working with Barclays Capital and CLSA Capital as an investment banker and senior strategist.
Yet, in the quiet hours between flights and meetings, a deeper question burned within him:
“What is the true wealth worth living for? Why am I doing, what I am doing?”
That question changed everything. A profound awakening called him away from the glass towers of finance to the timeless peaks of the Himalayas. He spent years in silence and solitude by the Ganga’s sacred banks, in the caves of Badrinath—immersed in sadhana and tapasya.
From that silence, seva emerged. Turiyashram – The Silent Flame of Sanatan: a living movement dedicated to sadhana and seva.
Today, Swami Turiyananda trains seekers, youth leaders, and spiritual entrepreneurs across the world—offering advanced meditation, satsangs, one-on-one mentorship, and the Turiyashram Yuva Shakti movement. His work bridges the ancient and the modern, the eternal and the urgent preparing a generation for karmic clarity, inner mastery, and civilizational leadership.
His vision is unwavering: for the welfare of humanity, Bharat has to rise once again as Jagadguru not as a fading memory, but as a living force of wisdom, sacred speech, and strategic action, rooted in the immortal soul of Sanatan.
The Silent Flame of Sanatan
High in the lap of the Himalayas, where the Alaknanda sings her silver song and Neelkanth stands watch in eternal snow, lies Badrinath Dham — the seat where Narayana himself abides in timeless samadhi.
Here, in this land sanctified by rishis and kings, the stones remember the footsteps of saints, and the wind carries whispers of mantras older than time.It is here that Turiyashram mission took form. The Skanda Purana proclaims:
“Astadasa bhuvanani trailokyam ca punarvasu,
Sarvam tīrthamayo desaḥ Badarikasramah smrtah.”
— “All the realms of the three worlds are gathered in the sacred land of Badarikashrama.”
The Meaning of Turiyashram:
Turiya — the fourth state of consciousness beyond waking, dreaming, and deep sleep — the pure Self, untouched and eternal.
Asrama — the community around the spiritual truths and practices.
Turiya is both our summit and our path — the silent pinnacle of consciousness, and the way we walk each day.The Māṇḍūkya Upaniṣad whispers of it:
“Santam, sivam, advaitam” — Peace, auspiciousness, non-duality.
The Turiyashram Axis (S³): Sanatan • Sadhana • Seva
This is our living axis.
- Sanatan — the eternal root.
- Sadhana — the inner path.
- Seva — the outward offering.
Together, they form the coordinates of a life rooted in eternal wisdom and aligned with the highest awakening.
