About Joseph Emmett
Joseph Emmett has been a student of Swami Parthasarathy since 1996, and is a graduate of the full-time, three-year residential course at Vedanta Academy. He has spent an additional 10 years in India, at the Institute, deepening his knowledge.
As the Director of Vedanta Institute San Francisco, Emmett conducts free weekly classes for the community, in-house programs for businesses and management seminars for leadership groups such as Young President’s Organization.

He has been the Vedanta faculty at Ananda-In the Himalayas numerous times, and in addition to his own teaching, assists in the organization of Swamiji’s annual lecture tour to the U.S.
Swami Parthasarathy is a 90 year old Self-Realized soul who has spent the last 60 years in selfless service of humanity through his ten books, constant global speaking tours and founding of Vedanta Academy. He is a resource for the corporate world as well, offering his wisdom to hundreds of corporations and groups such as Young President’s Organization, World President’s Organization, the World Economic Forum, the Aspen Institute and numerous top flight business schools, to name a few. Swamiji has pioneered Vedanta-based self-management programs to teach the fundamental techniques underlying productivity, time-management, stress-reduction, leadership and streamlining relationships. Emmett utilizes Swamiji’s groundbreaking interpretation of Vedanta’s ancient wisdom for modern living in all of his programs.
