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 is known for the being one of the "Trinity from Tannirpalli" along with Le Saux, and Griffiths who were the co-founders of Saccidananda Ashram (also called Shantivanam), an ashram founded in the village of Tannirpalli in Tamil Nadu. He was an ardent proponent of Hindu-Christian interfaith dialogue.
In 1939 Monchanin arrived in India from France and worked as a parish priest for 10 years in Trichy, Tamil Nadu. Henri le Saux arrived in Trichy in 1948 and two years later they established Saccidananda Ashram. Monchanin remained at the Ashram until serious illness caused him to return to France in September 1957; he died one month later.
