About Shree Ram Sharnam
A Simple Pathway to God
Shree Ram Sharnam, stands for the spiritual refuge, asylum or sanctuary of Shree Ram where turmoils, trials, tribulations, tensions and anxieties tend to disappear and you are in a spiritual habitat of peace, purity, serenity, selflessness and total dedication to Lord Ram.
The present era is known as the age of anxiety, topsy-turvy values, and doubt. Shree Ram Sharnam is an answer as well as antidote for all these ills.
Shree Ram Sharnam is a hassle-free pathway to God and it gives equal respect to all religions, sects, creeds & folds. It does not propound any rites or rituals. It is the path of Love & Devotion which helps oneself to improve one’s worldly and spiritual life by achieving oneness with God. It is based on the Sanatan belief of times immemorial.
The Origin
Shree Ram Sharnam is a forum for the genuine devotees. It was evolved by Shree Swami Satyanand Ji Maharaj (Swami Ji Maharaj) our Mentor & Spiritual Master, who like all true Masters, was a self-effacing, self-abnegating and God-realized Saint of the 19th and 20th centuries.
In 1925, after long and arduous prayers, Swami Ji Maharaj was blessed with the Realization of God, revealed to him in the Holy Name, “राम” in the most radiant and resonant form at Param Dham, Dalhousie (Himachal Pradesh, India).
In 1928, Swami Ji Maharaj, with full divine powers started giving Deeksha (Initiation). He used to traverse long distances to initiate genuine seekers.
Shree Ram Sewak Sangh
To spread Ram Naam far and wide, Swami Ji Maharaj, in December 1934, handpicked five from his painstaking disciples to form Shree Ram Sewak Sangh. On the banks of the Holy Ganga, Swami Ji Maharaj and his five disciples took a vow to dedicate their lives to spread the Holy Name “Ram” and thus, promote theism.
These five disciples were: Bhagat Hansraj (Bade Pitaji), Sh.Vaishnav Das, Sh.Ram Krishan, Swami Ramanand and Swami Raja Ram. Since then till the last day of his life, Bade Pitaji, the only survivor of the Shree Ram Sewak Sangh, had been untiringly engaged in the spread of Ram-Naam as ordained by Swami Ji Maharaj, by holding Satsangs far and near.
Bade Pitaji passed on the responsibility and duty of the spread of Ram-Naam to Pujya Sh. Krishan Ji (Pitaji) and Pujya Smt. Rekha Ji (Maaji).
The Mooldhara
(Pristine Philosophy)
Today, though the following of Swami Ji Maharaj has increased manifold, yet the basic emphasis is to preserve the original & pristine philosophy of Swami Ji Maharaj.
The Organization believes in the self-imposed discipline, to hold on fast the principles of Swami Ji Maharaj and not to deviate from the Mooldhara or the Gangotri.
