Shyam Shrivastava
Swami Shyam Charan Shrivastava (born circa 1923 in or near Konch, Jalaun taluk, Uttar Pradesh, India) is a teacher of meditation and neo-India centric philosophy styled The Vision of Oneness. He founded the International Meditation Institute (IMI). Since the early 1970s, he has been living in Kullu, Himachal Pradesh, India.
The essence of his thought is the mantra "Amaram Hum Madhuram Hum" (which he translates to English language as, "I am immortal, I am blissful". His doctrine is that the Highest Self (paramatman) alone is everywhere, and that one can unfold awareness of this and live it through practice (yoga).
He is the author of some self-published books and writings on meditation philosophy.
In the early 1970s, he was a member of the Transcendental Meditation movement and a follower of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.[1]
In 2001, award-winning journalist John Stackhouse in a front page story in the Globe and Mail reported that a large number of followers left the group after the Swami was accused of sexual abuse of a number of female followers.[1]
