Born in Bihar, Bharat, Swamy was a child who was fond of art and sports. During his growing up years, he had an unwavering focus towards sports. However, when he was 14 years old, a life-altering accident led to the removal of his eye lens. The physical limitation hampered his ability to pursue sports, which he was completely immersed in and he felt as if everything he cherished had slipped away.

He found himself plunging into an inner world of turmoil and instability and thus began his journey—a quest to find meaning, to seek fulfilment, and to ask the profound question: What is life really all about? He continued his education in science, eventually earning a Master’s degree and securing a job as a pharmaceutical representative. Though life seemed to be moving forward, beneath the routine and responsibilities, his quest to seek answers to the deeper meaning of life continued.
