Swami Gupta
Truth. Responsibility. Acceptance.
Swami Gupta is a source of inspiration, teachings, and stillness. Flowing from Himalayan and Vedanta traditions to our contemporary Western lifestyle, he speaks plainly and guides people toward steady attention, personal responsibility, and simple daily practices. His teachings emphasize truth, gratitude, and acceptance of life’s journey through modern times. After a period of seclusion, he began teaching in France and Italy; now he works with students in the United States. Swami Gupta combines unflinching truth with warm compassion; bringing energy and rhythm of the living Nataraj to Nataraj Foundation programs and initiatives.
Love. Nature. Celebration.
You carry the spark within you. He can help point you back to it, but the sustained effort required for your personal growth is yours to choose. Learn to listen clearly and become a decision-maker for yourself. Swami Gupta’s teachings are a guide to living consciously, letting steady practice ripen into awareness. Don’t be too serious, but make your own spiritual journey in a spirit of love, in communion with nature, and as a celebration of the life moving through you.
The Path We Share
Learn. Strengthen. Transform.
Inspired by the timeless teachings of a Himalayan Master while rooted in Maine’s forests, mountains, lakes, rivers, and coast—Nataraj Foundation creates opportunities for direct educational experiences leading to spiritual truth, self-inquiry, and service; supporting personal growth and cultural understanding.
Where spirit, knowledge, and community meet.
From small retreats and public dialogues with Swami Gupta to online Q&A sessions and mindfulness excursions in nature; we host programs to help you learn deeply, strengthen resilience, and transform your life through spiritual insights. Practices and guidance are delivered by a living wisdom teacher within a community of individuals on a journey to the unknown.
The Approach
We promote authentic practice over ideology, humility over hype, service to our communities, self introspection, personal responsibility, and a connection with nature to yield results you can feel through calm, focused and steady practice.
Cultural Exchange
We’re building a two-way friendship with India. Friends will visit us in Maine, and we’ll travel there in organized groups. We’ll share meals, sit in on classes, learn songs and stories. Walking through temples and forests, and offer community service — It’s real people and real places.
Educational Experience
Hands-on learning rooted in real life. Learn by doing: spend time in nature vising forests and beaches along Maine’s coast, try simple daily practices, and join guided conversations that support honest self-inquiry. No fluff or jargon - just friendly guidance, fresh insight, and a welcoming mix of people.
Spiritual Development
Authentic teachers lead the work; we make room so it can flourish. We provide the platform for venues, logistics, scholarships, outreach, and welcoming practice spaces so they can share clear, time-tested methods. You set the pace, while we safeguard access, and a stable bubble for learning. The aim is practical peace, better relationships, self-inquiry, and a deeper sense of connection with nature, your true self, others.
