Brahmarshi Sri Dondla Krishna Swami
Brahmarshi Sri Dondla Krishna Swami is the present spiritual guide of this revered Guru Parampara, continuing the living tradition of Vedantic wisdom, Brahma Vidya, and inner realization.
Brahmarshi Sri Dondla Krishna Swami is a respected spiritual teacher and guide known for his teachings rooted in Vedantic philosophy, spiritual discipline, and devotional living. His life journey reflects a conscious transition from worldly responsibilities to a life dedicated to spiritual wisdom and guidance, inspiring seekers across South India.
He was originally known as Krishna D, a successful weaver and silk saree businessman from Yelahanka, Bangalore. Despite professional success, he experienced a deep inner awakening that led him to seek higher spiritual purpose beyond material pursuits.
Inspired by the teachings of Brahmarshi Sri Avvaru Annayya Tirthulu Swami, he chose to step away from his business life and dedicate himself fully to spirituality. This transformation marked the beginning of his lifelong commitment to spiritual practice, teaching, and service.
As part of his spiritual journey, Brahmarshi Sri Dondla Krishna Swami spent several years at Sri Vedanta Swarajya Sangam in Yelahanka, actively taught Vedanta and Indian spiritual philosophy while continuing his own deep spiritual discipline. His time at the Sangam strengthened his role as a guide and helped shape his approach to spiritual instruction.
Eventually, his path led him to establish an ashram in Madanapalli, Andhra Pradesh, which became a center for spiritual learning and guidance. Over time, he came to be widely known as Brahmarshi Sri Dondla Krishna Swami, offering teachings and personal guidance to spiritual seekers, particularly across Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.
His teachings emphasize self-awareness, righteous living, devotion, discipline, and inner transformation. He believes that spirituality is not limited to renunciation but can be practiced through right conduct, sincerity, and awareness in everyday life. He guides seekers without distinction of background, encouraging a balanced path that integrates spiritual values with daily responsibilities.
The life and teachings of Brahmarshi Sri Dondla Krishna Swami reflect the timeless principle that true spiritual growth arises from sincerity, humility, and consistent inner effort.
