Translator Swami Paramananda was a mystic, poet and one of the first Indian teachers to travel to the United States to teach the Hinduism. In the United States, Paramananda founded a non-sectarian ashrama in California, and another in Massachusetts, establishing himself as a spiritual leader devoted to building communities committed to learning Vedanta. During his life, he published many works, including translations of Hinduism's seminal texts from the original Sanskrit such as The Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita. Swami Paramananda died in 1940 but his work has remained popular among practising Hindus, students and scholars alike.
