Jules Monchanin
Jules Monchanin
Father Jules Monchanin (who chose to call himself Swami Paramarubyananda), (April 10, 1895 in Fleurie, Rhône - October 10, 1957 in Paris) was a French Catholic priest, monk and hermit. He was an ardent proponent of Hindu-Christian interfaith dialogue. He is known for the being one of the “Trinity from Tannirpalli” along with Le Saux, and Griffiths[1] who were the co-founders of Saccidananda Ashram (also called Shantivanam), an ashram founded in the village of Tannirpalli in Tamil Nadu in 1938.[2]
Monchanin received Final Sacrament in 1932 but survived. On the same day, he received a letter from Father Kalathil inviting him to come to India.[3]
