H.H Swami Shree Ghamibirananda Saraswati

H. H. Swami Shree Gambhiranand Saraswati

A young engineer, who had never made his debut in the courtyard of any Satsang, got influenced by a single satsang of H.H. Swami Chidanand Saraswati (the President of Divine Life Society) and recognized the purpose of his human life and dedicated this life to the self-welfare as well as social-welfare.

After studying scriptures from the Shrotriya Brahmanistha Guru H.H. Maha Mandaleshwar Swami Divyanand Saraswati (the Ex-Peethadhiswar of Kailash Ashram, Rishikesh) in the beautiful bank of Maa Ganga in the Swargashram area of Rishikesh, this young celibate reached Kashi for the purpose of in-depth study. While living a life of penance with immense patience and enthusiasm, he gathered spiritual knowledge from many eminent scholars in the holy ‘city of wisdom’.

Swami Shree Gambhiranand Mission

Swami Shree Gambhiranand Mission (henceforth it will be mentioned as ‘the mission’) was founded by Swami Shree Gambhiranand Saraswati with a three-fold purpose :

(1) to spread the light of Dev Bhasha (Sanskrit language) among the new-age students; (2) to make the common man aware of the Vedanta Philosophy as embodied in the life of sages of ancient India; (3) to improve the spiritual, intellectual and physical conditions of people; specially of Sadhakas.

Based on the ideology of Swami Shree Gambhiranand Saraswati i.e. “rendering social and welfare services undertaken with a spiritual outlook”, the mission has been serving the society since its inception. It’s guiding principle आत्मानो मोक्षार्थं जगद्धिताय च (Atmano Mokshartham Jagaddhitaya Cha) meaning “for one’s own liberation and for the welfare of the world” is not only taught in the mission, but is also an integral part of the life-style of the persons under the mission.
