Affectionately known as “the Storytelling Monk”, Swami Sarveshwarananda Giri is a French-born Kriya Yoga teacher and founder of the Hariharananda Mission in the U.S.A. and in India, and the Ark of Love in South America.
After practicing as a doctor in acupuncture, he followed the directive of his legendary Kriya master Paramahamsa Hariharananda (a direct disciple of Swami Shriyukteshwarji and Paramahamsa Yogananda), and served as his guru’s personal monastic attendant.

After Guruji's Mahasamahdi (release from the flesh), Swamiji went to India for a two-year silent retreat. He returned to establish many charitable and educational organizations on several continents and to disseminate knowledge on the ancient practice of Kriya Yoga.

Kriya Yoga is described by its practitioners as the ancient Yoga system revived in modern times c 1861, by Mahavatar Babaji through his disciple Lahiri Mahasaya, and brought into widespread public awareness through Paramahamsa Yogananda's book Autobiography of a Yogi. The system consists of a number of levels of Pranayama based techniques that are intended to rapidly accelerate spiritual development and engender a profound state of tranquility and God-communion.
