Sri Ramanujam Mukundagiri (Ram) is a member of Chaitanya Maha Prabhu Nama Bhiksha Kendra. A professional speaker and insightful spiritual instructor, he has sound experience in discoursing on a spectrum of topics from profound concepts of Vedanta and Bhakti to day-to-day aspects of life like ‘Success in Life, ‘Meditation and Happiness’ etc. A disciple of His Holiness Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji, he conveys the message of his Guru that harmony and peace can prevail everlastingly in individual minds and the whole world, only through internal transformation, and this comes with God’s grace, efforts,  staunch faith and  perseverance.

Ram graduated from Delhi University as a “Gold Medalist”.  He has a Black Belt certification in Six Sigma which is a well-known global standard for quality that strives for near perfection.  Until recently, he worked as a general manager at Visteon India (formerly Ford Automotive Parts).  A deep longing to unravel the purpose of life had led him to Sri Sri Swamiji way back in 1993, under whose benign guidance, he studied Vedanta and Bhakti Shastras.  Motivated by Sri Sri Swamiji’s teachings, he has been actively involved in propagating the glory of the ‘Bhagavan Nama’ (the Divine Name) as the simplest means to attain Moksha in Kali Yuga.  In 2006, after serving in three companies for 14 years, he quit his job and dedicated his time full time towards propagating the ideals of Sanathana Dharma to the society at large.

 Ram has discoursed, on numerous occasions, on Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi’s works like ‘Upadesa Saram’, which is the crux of Bhagavan’s path of Self Enquiry.  He is also adept at expounding classical Indian epics, Puranas and Bhakta Charitras.  His contemporary titles include, “Science in ancient Indian Scriptures”, “Enjoying eternal freedom”, “Unfolding everlasting bliss”, “Success in Life”, “Practical Meditation” etc.  His lectures have earned acclaim from his audience for his knowledge, intelligibility and eloquence.  He has traveled across the globe and has delivered lectures in several countries like Australia, Indonesia and Singapore.

 In addition to spiritual discourses, Ram has conducted extensive practical trainings and workshops on techniques for positive introspection and self-improvement through practical simple meditation. Quite a few companies, many of them, large multi-nationals,  Microsoft, Tyco Electronics, Kanbay etc. to mention a few, have echoed the positive feedback from their employee-attendees about their improved understanding, increased clarity in thought process and better preparedness to face the world.

 Fluent in English, Tamil and Hindi languages, Ram has conducted numerous lectures, seminars and retreats for children and youth in schools and colleges. His talks are on ‘Happiness and Success’, ‘Conflict Management and Acceptance’ with young adults.  He has the incredible skill of getting down to their level and successfully communicating lofty ideals for happy life and successful career in their language. He has also conducted Spiritual and developmental workshops for children.
