A swami is a type of religious guru usually associated with Hinduism. They are sometimes referred to as yogis, and may be a leader or even a member of a monastic order.
In the "The Man Who Could Read Minds" episode of The Adventures of Superman from 1953, a man who called himself Amada posed as a swami who could read minds. He turned out to be a fraud however, using this identity to commit crimes.
In 1967, Spider-Man matched wits against a culturally insensitive portrayal of a "Super Swami" in the appropriately titled "Super Swami" episode of the Spider-Man animated television series.
On the "Sonsabitches" episode of Preacher, the leader of The Grail, Herr Starr, conducts a raid on a group of Hare Krishnas and kills the swami.
