SWAN meditation is an important method evolved by Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati to help us discover our personality and improve its expression in everyday life.

SWAN is an acronym for the four principles that influence our personality and direction in life: S - strengths, W - weaknesses, A - ambitions, and N - needs. In each of us certain strengths and weaknesses are predominant, and they either help or hinder us in whatever we think or do.

Throughout life, we must also work to attain our aspirations and needs. The expression of these four qualities makes us what we are. By understanding their unique expression in our life, a creative, dynamic and clear mind results.
