Birth Anniversary of Sampujya Gurudev Sri Nikhileshwarananda Paramahamsa Ji

AVS

Today (21/04/2026) Marks the Birth Anniversary of Sampujya Gurudev Sri Nikhileshwarananda Paramahamsa Ji.

He was born on April 21, 1933, in a village near Jodhpur, Rajasthan, into a traditional Brahmin family, Narayanan Dutt Shrimali Ji, as the son of Pandit Multan Chand Shrimali Ji and Roopadevi. He later became the revered Sanyasi of the modern era — Sampujya Swami Nikhileshwarananda Paramahamsa Ji.
Shrimali Ji was regarded as a great Rishi of the twentieth century.
Although he had to marry Bhagwati Devi at a young age, Shrimali Ji’s mind remained deeply engaged in the pursuit of knowledge and higher wisdom. He was determined to attain the rare and profound spiritual sciences that were not easily accessible to ordinary people!
Are all the knowledge mentioned in the Indian Science true? From where can they be authentically learned? Driven by these intense quest for truth, he left his home and eventually embraced the life of a renunciate.
 
He wandered in search of different Gurus. Many he encountered turned out to be impostors!! Some Acharyas subjected him to severe hardships and harsh discipline. After enduring countless struggles and intense suffering, he was finally able to find true Gurus and acquire true knowledge from them.
 
He eventually became a disciple of Sampujya Sadguru Swami Sachchidananda Paramahamsa, the supreme Acharya of Siddhashram, the revered realm of rishis. Under his guidance, he attained complete knowledge and sciences.
 
After 20 years of intense penance, having reached spiritual fulfillment, he returned home on the special command of his Guru to lead a householder’s life. After returning, he also worked as a Hindi teacher.
Bhagwati Devi and Shrimali Ji were blessed with three sons: Nandakishore Shrimali, Kailash Chandra Shrimali, and Aravind Shrimali.
Gurudev Sri Nikhileshwarananda Paramahamsa Ji
Shrimali Ji was a great Sanyasi of the twentieth century who revived lost streams of Indian knowledge and wisdom, and systematized existing sciences through deep research and intense spiritual practice, presenting them in a complete and accessible form.
He was a radiant personality who revitalized India’s cultural and intellectual heritage, Sanatana Dharma education, and various esoteric branches of knowledge. Shrimali Ji worked tirelessly to popularize profound and often hidden disciplines such as Kriya Kundalini Yoga (known as Kriya Yoga), Sammohan Vigyan (Indian hypnotism), Mantra–Tantra–Yantra sciences, palmistry, astrology, numerology, Prana Vidya, Parad Vigyan, Swarna Tantra, Ayurveda, and Surya Vigyan.
In 1981, he launched the magazine “Mantra–Tantra–Yantra Vigyan.” He also founded the organization “Siddhashram Sadhak Parivar.”
Shrimali Ji was deeply committed to making these divine and sacred sciences—once inaccessible due to misconceptions and ignorance—available to the common people in a proper and authentic manner.
Shrimali Ji served as the President of the World Astrology Conference, which brought together participation from many countries.
He was honored with the titles “Tantra Shiromani” in 1987 and “Mantra Shiromani” in 1988. In 1982, he was conferred the title “Mahamahopadhyaya” by the then Vice President of India, Dr. B. D. Jatti. In 1989, the Vice President of India, Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma, honored him with the “Samaj Shiromani” award.
In 1991, in recognition of his outstanding social and spiritual contributions, he was also honored by the then Prime Minister of Nepal, Bhattarai.

Shrimali Ji authored numerous books in English and Hindi, including Meditation, Power of Tantra, Practical Hypnotism, Practical Palmistry, Essence of Shaktipat, Ten Mahavidyas, Gopaniya Durlabh Mantrom Ke Rahasya, Himalaya Ke Yogiyon Ki Siddhiyan, Shishyopanishad, and Durlabhopanishad.

Aacharya Sri Manoj Ji, the founder of Aarsha Vidya Samajam, is a disciple of Pujya Gurudev Shrimali Ji, who played an unparalleled role in nurturing and expanding Para and Apara Vidya—the higher and lower dimensions of knowledge that were once only hinted at in our scriptures. Manoj Ji was also blessed to receive Shaktipat Diksha from him.

With deep reverence, we offer countless salutations at the divine lotus feet of our Paramaguru, Sampujya Gurudev Shri Shrimali Ji (Swami Nikhileshwarananda Paramahamsa), who attained Mahasamadhi on July 3, 1998.
