Swami Prem Akash was born on 15th August 1960 at 2 am in Karnal, Haryana. He is an Indian yogi. He established the Happiness Hub Foundation in 2016. The foundation was formally registered in 2019, where meditation and other spiritual practices are taught to spiritual aspirants.

Early life and Education
Swami Prem Akash was born in a Hindu family. His domestic atmosphere was religious and divine where the members used to recite scriptures like Bhagwad Gita and Ramayana. Even as a young boy, Prem was interested in spirituality and would enjoy reciting Hanuman Chalisa and distribute prasad (food offering made after the worship of God) on Tuesdays. When he grew up, he started going to pilgrimages like Balaji and Salasar along with his friends and dignitaries of his residential area. The group would walk through the holy places over their 10 days of travel. His parents were the devotees of Divine mother and so they would also travel to Vaishno Devi 2-3 times a year to worship ‘Devi’. Since childhood, he developed a keen interest in God and his favorite deities were Lord Shiva and Hanuman

The Turning Point
Prem Akash grew up and secured an honorable government job in Haryana under the Gazetted cadre. He had every material pleasure in life like money, house, good relationships, power, etc. It was at this time that he heard about a Saint Swami Avdeshananda, who was delivering a sevenday discourse in Sirsa. Prem got curious and attended the talk. After seven days of spiritual lecture, he was a changed man. His curiosity was further ignited towards finding the real meaning of life and he started placing little importance to worldly comforts. He realized that despite having everything, real peace was amiss. He thus opted for a job posting in Sadhora to be with Swami Avdeshananda. Prem lived with him till the year 2000 performing basic sadhana (spiritual practices) like mantra Japa (repetition of divine name), meditation, and also went with him for pilgrimages.

Spiritual Life
Prem initiated the path to spirituality with Swami Avdeshananda doing elementary spiritual practices. But his inquisitiveness grew and he was inspired to understand the deeper meaning of life through self-discovery. He went to the holy pilgrimage of Haridwar and started staying in the company of saints while pursuing his sadhana. In the year 2000, he went to Rishikesh and stayed at the Geeta Ashram in the company of Sudharmanandji Maharaj. Sudharmanandji was an experienced sage and directed Prem to go to Uttarkashi, where he would be able to further pursue the path of spirituality. Sudharmanandji accompanied Prem to the Avdhoot Mandal Ashram in Uttarkashi. Prem gained intense spiritual experience there and performed practices in the company of many saints, who lived inside the caves. After spending 2.5 months there, he returned to Garud Chatti, located near Rishikesh and performed practices till the year 2004. During this period, he visited various pilgrimages like Char Dham, Dwadash Jyotirlinga, Gangotri, Yamunotri, Vrindavan, Mathura, Nine Devi temples in Himachal Pradesh, various Sufi Dargah in Karnal, Panipat, Delhi, and Ajmer. Afterward, he met a saint who taught him higher levels of spiritual practices in Murthal. Prem stayed in his Math, practiced hard and became spiritually enlightened.

Spiritual Experience
After performing rigorous sadhana, Swami Prem Prakash had a glimpse into the highest state of enlightenment in the year 2007 where he conceived himself as nothingness and went beyond the physical form. Since then, he strives to live in that state of being one with the whole existence and encourages people to attain the bliss and peace that comes from the spiritual state of oneness, which is known as ‘Sahaja Awastha’. Between the year 2015 to 2019, he visited many places in the Himalayas and met several sages. He lived in Ujeli, Uttarkashi in various ashrams and met a married sage Shri Prakash Vir ji, who guided him on how to live in ‘Sahaja Awastha’.

The Process of Enlightenment
According to Swami Prem Akash, enlightenment can occur to a seeker in two forms – the first is sudden as it happens unexpectedly in ‘kundalini jagaran’. The second one is gradual where the seeker slowly gets into the state while performing sadhana consistently. The second one is a stable state and is taught by Happiness Hub Foundation through those who are spiritually enlightened.

The Vision of Happiness Hub Foundation
The organization aims to bring humanity to a state of unconditional inner peace through spiritual practices; to establish seekers in a tranquil state of mind that is unperturbed by the outer circumstances that provoke anxiety, depression, stress, and other odds owing to one’s business, job, or other uncontrollable situations; to eventually convert their inner peace into a joyful experience of bliss and unaddressed love; to maintain this state of being while meditating as well as with open eyes.
