Author Joydeep Maharaj

Born in Lubeck, Germany, Joydeep grew up in Kolkata with passion for literature and theatre. His deep quest for a spiritual identity drew him away from the mainstream till he met his guru and mentor, Swami Paramananda. He was reborn into a wholly new perspective and twenty-eight years later he considers himself a 'traveller,' a seeker of truth. He travels and talks, inspires and guides people from all walks of life to a spiritual vision and freedom. He writes extensively on various aspects of life and contributes regularly for periodicals. He has published nine books, five in Bengali and four in English, three of them are translations of Swami Paramananda's works. In 2011 he established a spiritual retreat, Maramia in Azimganj Murshidabad where he presently lives and works.
