yadā yadā hi dharmasya glānir bhavati bhārata |
abhyutthānam adharmasya tadātmānaḿ sṛjāmy aham ||
paritrāṇāya sādhūnāḿ vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām |
dharma-saḿsthāpanārthāya sambhavāmi yuge yuge ||Whenever and wherever there is decline in spiritual practice, O Bharat, and a predominant rise of irreligion – at that time I descend Myself. To enrich and deliver the pious beings, to annihilate the miscreants, and to re-establish the sacred principles of cosmic truth, I myself appear, age after age.
– Avatar Sri Krishna in Bhagavad Gita, 4.7-8

The Living Avatar Paramapujya Paramahamsa Sri Nithyananda Swamiji was born in 1978 in the holy temple town of Arunachala (Thiruvannamalai) in Tamil Nadu. He expressed extraordinary spiritual inclinations and powers from early childhood, and was trained under multiple gurus in a range of spiritual disciplines, including yoga, meditation, Vedanta, Sri Vidya and the secret mystical sciences, all of which he mastered. For nine arduous years, he undertook wandering around the country as a parivrajaka sanyasi, practicing daunting spiritual disciplines like Pancha Tapas and Aghora Tapas, and also gaining intimate experiential insights into the lives and problems of the common people. This period of tapas culminated in the year 2000, in an explosive spiritual experience that revealed his Avataric mission on the planet.

apolitical voice of Sanatana Hindu Dharma. He is a Mahamandaleshwar (spiritual head) of Mahanirvani Peetha, the most ancient apex body of Hinduism.
