At Nirvandham Yogashram, we are blessed to follow a revered spiritual lineage, honoring the enlightened masters who have guided countless souls towards self-realization. Our practices are deeply influenced by the profound teachings of our beloved Guruji, Barmlin Sadguru Swami Shree Bhajan Prakashanand Giriji Maharaj. The Spiritual wisdom which he earned through his austere Sadhana guides us to move towards Spiritual awakening.

Blessings of our Param Guru Brahmalin Swami Satyamitranand Giriji, who established Bharat Mata Mandir Ashram - Haridwar, a Sankaracharya appoint and Mahamandaleshwar remain with us. Swamiji embodied a rare combination of Karmayog, Bhaktiyog, and Gnanyog, offering profound wisdom and compassionate guidance.

This lineage ensures that every seeker feels supported on their unique spiritual journey, as our spiritual guides impart wisdom through discourses, guided meditations, and personal consultations, illuminating the path of yoga and inner peace.

Swami Parmatmanand Giri

The present head of the Ashram (Mahant) is Swami Parmatmanand Giri ji, direct disciple of Swami Bhajanprakashanand Giri ji. Hailing from Porbandar in Gujarat, Swamiji served as District Forest Officer prior to taking Sanyas.

Since taking Mantra Deeksha in 1993 from Guruji, he kept coming to the Ashram as much as possible for his sadhana or spiritual practice. After a period of time thus balancing his worldly and spiritual life he felt the burning urge in him to relinquish his worldly life and take up Sanyas.

Finally he surrendered completely to his Guru and took up Sanyas in January 2008. Since then he has fully dedicated himself to spiritual life.

Before his Guru left his earthly body, he chose Swami Parmatamanand Giri ji to head the Ashram as the Mahant. He continues to take spread the teachings of his Guru to his disciples and followers world over. Through his teachings based on the Vedantas as pronounced by Jagadguru Adi Sankaracharya as well his selfless love and kindness he leads his followers to a spiritually elevated life.

His Guru Sister Swami Purnatmanand Giriji and Guru brother Swami Amrutatmanand Giriji, who took up Sanyas together with Swamiji, reside in the Ashram with him and support him in all endeavors of the Ashram.

Swami Amrutatmanand Giri

Swami Amrutatmanand Giriji served as Range Forest Officer before retiring and starting his spiritual life. After taking Mantra Deekhsa from Guru Bhajanprakashanand Giri ji, Swami Amrutatmanand Giri took to Sanyas along with Swami Paramatmanand Giri and Swami Purnatmanand Giri in 2008. Since then he has been one of the pillars of the Ashram, giving guidance in the spiritual path to the seekers.

Swami Purnatmanand Giri

Swami Purnatmanand was inclined to Spiritual life from her younger days and used to take part in Satsangs at Ramdas Ashram in hometown; Bhavnagar. After meeting Guru Bhajanprakashanand Giriji, she relocated to Nirvandham Yogashram and continued her service in Life Insurance Coproration. She took Sanyas along with Swami Paramatmanand Giri and Swami Amrutatmanand Giri and continues to stay in Ashram being a mother and guide to the seekers.
