For years people have been asking the Swami if he has any disciples and for years the Swami has insisted that he has no followers because he gets paranoid when he thinks he is being followed. Nonetheless, he has been looking for ways to encourage and empower others to practice the ancient art of Foo Ling -- using laughter as a tool to enlighten up their own lives, and the lives of those around them. And one of the best ways to multiply healing laughter is to celebrate those moments when laughter leads to breakthrough -- what the Swami calls moments of Fool-Realization. Swami Beyondananda is a highly acclaimed keynote speaker and performer whose specialty is using mind-opening comedy to create heart-opening laughter. For the past 23 years, the Swami (in reality humorist and author Steve Bhaerman) has performed at spiritual centers, at theatres, community centers and new thought churches. Swami's comedy has been described both as comedy disguised as wisdom and wisdom disguised as comedy. www.wakeuplaughing.com
