ABOUT SADGURU SWAMI NIGAMANANDA DEV

Paramahansa Nigamananda Saraswati Dev was a revered saint, Yogi, Spiritual master and Sadguru of Sanatan Dharma in 20th century in India. His spiritual journey started with a quest to connect with his wife ‘Maa Sudhanshubala’, who left her mortal body at a young age of 17. This led to the beginning of a life as a monk, traveling through the length and breadth of India, meeting four enlightened Gurus, following all prescribed paths of Sadhana, going through ordeals, experiencing the divine feminine ‘Maa Shakti’ as his consort, and attaining ‘Nirvikalpa Samadhi,’ the higher yogic state of supreme awareness. He returned from ‘Samadhi’ with the awareness of ‘I am Guru’ (Guroham) and devoted the rest of his life to preaching the noble principles of Sanatana Dharma, with simple prescribed paths for both renunciates (sannyasis) and householders (Grihasthas). His teachings remain contemporary with eternal values, relevant to all sections and people of all ages, aiming to build a developed, inclusive and spiritually enriched society.
