About Swami Prem Maitreya

Swami Prem Maitreya is a highly accomplished entrepreneur, dedicated family man, and committed practitioner of meditation. Originally from India, he now resides in the United States. With a diverse range of meditation practices under his belt — including AOL, Kriya Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, and Osho — he has learned from numerous revered teachers and gurus.

Through his meditation classes, he generously imparts his wisdom and offers support to those on the path of meditation. In recognition of the importance of self-sufficiency, he has established an organization that aims to empower individuals and foster their independence. His extraordinary journey serves as an inspiring testament to the harmonious integration of modern life and spiritual growth.

In early life he had a deep inquiry about death and love. His journey became a quest — a deep longing to find what love is. As a young teenager influenced by movies, he thought love was simply convincing another to say “I love you.” Soon after, he realized this brought great pain at heartbreak. In the midst of this confusion he heard a few enlightening words of Osho, and an assurance that there is a love beyond duality — beyond the constant union and separation found in relationships. This inquiry led him to Osho’s books on love: Pad Ghungroo Bandh, Prem Panth, Pivat Pivat Ram Ras, Kabir Vani, Dhai Akshar Prem Ka, Until You Die, and many others.
