Om Swami SPIRITUAL LEADER- THE GIFT OF WISDOM
Travel+Leisure India
|August 2021
An ardent advocate of kindness, Om Swami has founded a digital platform that seeks to help millions find peace and purpose, one click at a time.
ONCE IN A WHILE, right before you slip into slumber, an existential question crops up—is there more to life than the daily grind? You take to social media to escape that nagging feeling. By the time you pull yourself out of the rabbit hole, it’s way past bedtime and you are filled with guilt. And maybe hurt by the comments of online trolls.
According to a 2019 PEW report, millennials are drifting away from religion but are embracing spirituality. But where do you go for spiritual growth in the digital age? This question led Om Swami, an Indian spiritual leader, to develop OS.ME.
“It is a digital start-up that offers to help people grow materially and spiritually,” says Swami, who renounced all things worldly about a decade and a half ago.
