Swami Purnachaitanya was born and brought up in The Netherlands, and his mother being from India, spiritual values and meditation were an important part of his upbringing. From an early age he showed a keen interest in the spiritual practices, cultures and philosophies of the East. This initially led him to practice a wide range of Eastern martial arts, such as judo, taekwondo, ninpo bujutsu, wushu (kung fu) and aikido. Over the years he realized, however, that it was not the fighting skills, but human values, philosophies and meditation that attracted him.
