Balaji Matha, a spiritual nonprofit, is devoted to sharing the universal truth of the Vedas and Upanishads—declaring God's omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence, asserting every person's life purpose is realizing this oneness with everything. Swami Narayanananda, raised in a priestly family near Bengaluru, embarked on his spiritual journey at a young age. Guided by his father, he entered Adi Chuchanagiri Matha Mahakshetra Ashram in Bengaluru, furthering his education. After years of apprenticeship, he was invited to America in 1993, where he served as a priest in the Bay Area. In 1999, he undertook a pilgrimage to the Himalayas.
