Awakening the Humanity to its Ultimate Potential
uttiṣṭhata jāgrata prāpya varān nibodhata |
kṣurasya dhārā niśitā duratyayā durgam pathas tat kavayo vadanti ||
“Arise! Awake! Wake up your Self and awaken others! Approach the great Awakened Ones till you awaken and manifest your Complete Self.
Sharp as the blade of a razor is that path, so declare the wise beings – long and hard to tread, and difficult to cross.”
Source scripture: Kathopaniṣad, 1.3.14
Who are Sanyasis?
On the sacred land of Vedic India, have walked countless powerful ochre-robed beings who carried pure hearts of compassion and gigantic wills to selflessly enrich humanity.
They are the Sanyasis (monks) who called the world their home and walked door-to-door awakening people to the truth while healing and blessing them.
The whole of India has been built by Sanyasis who have been true leaders and pathmakers for humanity. Whether it is architecture, art, science, culture, language or peace and harmony, Sanyasis have contributed the best things to the world.
The upholders of Peace and Selfless Humanitarian Services
H.H. Paramahamsa Nithyananda’s vision for causing world peace and ethno-cultural reconciliation includes the revival of the Sanyas (monastic) order because in the path of Sanyas (monkhood) is found the very essence of peace, non-violence and selfless enriching of the world.
- Over 400 aspirants initiated into the path of Sanyas by H.H. Paramahamsa Nithyananda through the Nithyananda Sanyas Training Institute hailing from many countries, ethnicities, and professions

Parivrajaka – Wandering and Enriching India
During and after his monastic training, Paramahamsa Sri Nithyananda has wandered as a spiritual mendicant throughout India. Regal in his austerity, his whole life turned over to the bounty of Existence, as a young mendicant, he covered thousands of kilometers on foot, visiting holy shrines, learning from numberless evolved souls and studying the need of humanity at the physical, mental and consciousness levels.
A lifetime of intense meditation, yoga, study, and austerities finally came to fruition in an explosion of Consciousness which revealed to him his phenomenal Avataric mission on planet earth.
