Swami Kamalnayanacharya Shree Ji Maharaj (born May 24, 1966) is a Hindu spiritual leader with his origin in Nepal. Swami Kamalnayanacharya, or "Swami" as his followers address him as, is an authority in promoting and conserving Vedic and Puranic (pertaining to the Hindu scriptures like Vedas and Puranas) sites of pilgrimage and retreats in the Hindu subcontinent of India and Nepal. He inspires a wide range of spiritual aspirants who revere Sri Muktinath from all over the world. He is widely appreciated by people of other faiths for his humanitarian work.
His Holiness is the supreme spiritual guru of Nepal Yoga Retreat and Muktinath Temple. He is the source of blessing and he is a resident benefactor. His house and main temple are located 100 metres from the retreat centre. We are indeed lucky to receive blessing, motivation and inspiration from him. 50% of the profits from the retreat centre goes to Swami-ji's charitable trust. In effect, you are becoming a contributor to charity by staying with us.

He has been holding such important Yagyas all over Nepal, maintaining Gurukulums, Ved Vidyas-hrams, Medical Service Centers, including for the first time in Nepal, a Kanya Gurukulum.
