After primary schooling, Jnanananda Swami joined in the Taylor High School, Narsapuram. He studied Mathematics and Physics at Dresden. He obtained Doctor of Philosophy at Liverpool University and Doctor of Science at Prague University.
He did research on Nuclear Energy and was a specialist in Nuclear Physics. He continued his research on Beta Ray spectroscopy in the United States with a number of radioactive isotopes at the Michigan University.
Jnanananda Swami spent around 10 years in the Himalayas and practised Yoga and studied Vedic Literature. He went to Germany with an interest in Physics. Jnanananda Swami studied Mathematics and Physics at Dresden. He took up research in High Tension and X-Ray Physics at Charles University, Prague.
Jnanananda Swami was christened as Swami Jnanananda by his guru, Swami Purnananda. He went to Germany in 1927 to deliver religious discourses and to get his religious works printed. His lectures attracted the attention of Professor Dember at the Dresden University.

His research at the university led to the development of precise methods in X-Ray spectroscopy for which he was awarded a Doctor of Science in 1936. He has shifted to England and joined University of Liverpool under Sir James Chadwick during the World War II. He has worked in Nuclear Physics, Spectroscopy of Beta Radiations and received his Doctor of Philosophy. He continued his research on Beta Ray spectroscopy in the United States with a number of radioactive isotopes at the Michigan University. He completed his book on High Vacuum.
Jnanananda Swami returned to India in 1947 and joined as senior scientific officer at the National Physics Laboratory in Delhi.
He met with an accident at Bhimavaram in 1954 was admitted to the King George Hospital in Visakhapatnam.
