About the teacher

Swami Mukundananda

Swami Mukundananda trained for many years as a disciple of Jagadguru Kripalu Maharaj before founding JKYog (Jagadguru Kripaluji Yog), a non-profit now centred on the Radha Krishna Temple in Dallas, Texas and a second campus in Odisha, India. His teaching translates the Bhagavad Gita into structured, practical programs rather than open-ended satsang.

His best-known offering is the week-long residential Life Transformation Program, combining daily discourse, meditation and yoga, run repeatedly through the year at JKYog centres in the US, alongside a large YouTube channel of recorded talks. Programs are conducted primarily in English.
