Swami Ishtananda is the Spiritual leader and Minister of The Vedanta Center of St. Petersburg in Saint Petersburg, Florida which is a branch of Ramakrishna Mission with India headquarters at Belur Math, West Bengal, India. He came in contact with a North Indian monastery of the Mission at an impressionable age in 1967. He joined the monastery at its main temple in 1976 where he obtained the traditional monastic training, and also the final monastic vows in 1986. Living at the heart of the organization he benefited from closely coming in contact with many disciples of Holy Mother Sarada Devi and of other direct disciples of Sri Ramakrishna. He served the Mission in India at three educational centers from High School to Graduate College levels spanning activities from academic to administrative responsibilities. He joined the Vedanta Society of Southern California branch as Asst. Minister in charge of its San Diego branch in February 2000. He was very active in the Inter-Religious community there. He came to Florida in December 2007 about one year after the formal start of a branch of the Mission in St. Petersburg. Apart from conducting regular classes and services at the Center he travels extensively in the U.S. and abroad for preaching Vedanta. The Swami is available for private spiritual counseling to sincere spiritual seekers.
