About BGIYAN - Krishna Lok
BY GURU GEETANAND HUMANITY FOUNDATION (GGHF)
Guru Geetanand Humanity Foundation is a Not-for-profit voluntary organisation registered under Society’s Registration Act (1860). All Donations to GGHF are 50% Tax Exempt under section 80G of IT Act, 1961 (India).
It was in context that the idea of setting up an organisation with emminent people from various fields with dedication to social service to continue the efforts started by our spiritual mentor great yogi Brahmrishi Geetanand Saraswati was born resulting in the formation of the Guru Geetanand Humanity Foundation. BGIYAN – Krishna Lok was launched as an international platform for all spiritual seekers to spread the eternal bliss and divine knowledge world-wide to create a golden era by transforming lives in collaboration with Brahmrishi Geetanand Ashram, Naurangpur.
Brahmrishi Geetanand Ashram, Naurangpur is the first ashram, established on 19th April 1918 (Chaitra Shukla, Navmi (Ram Navmi) Samvat 1975), by Brahmrishi Geetanand Saraswati. It is located in Haryana, (32 kms from IGI Airport, New Delhi, India), and has amazing scenic beauty and is surrounded by Aravalli Hills.
Under the instructions of Guru Ramanand (also known as Chimte Wale Baba), Brahmrishi Geetanand started his meditation and yog sadhana in early teenage years at the jungles of Naurangpur. He even kept ‘Maunvrata’ and ‘Pashupat Vrata’ for over twelve years at Naurangpur Ashram doing yog and meditation. During this period, Brahmrishi Geetanand plunged himself into intensive inner spiritual silence. This was the time in which he withdrew himself completely from outer intellectual and literary activities only to open and explore by inner experience other dimensions of the supreme divine reality. Goddess Hemja (synonym of Goddess Parvati as per ancient holy books) bestowed him with a darshan and blessings/divine grace at the Naurangpur Ashram, since then this place is also known as Hemja. Lord Shiva also bestowed Brahmrishi Geetanand with a darshan and taught Brahm Yoga® in an invisible cave located at Madadev Parvat, Naurangpur.
A Cave (for meditating underground), dharamshala (room for visiting devotees/shishyas/sadhus), lord Shiva temple and a well was constructed by Brahmrishi Geetanand during early 1900 at (Hemja), Naurangpur Ashram. After Mahasamadhi of Gurudev, as per his instructions, all the disciples visit this holy place for meditation and yog sadhana (practice) regularly.
We believe in Shri Krishna’s ideology of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’. It is a philosophy that inculcates an understanding that the whole world is one family. It is a philosophy that tries to foster an understanding that the whole of humanity is one family.
Brahmrishi Geetanand Ji established 24 branches in India to spread spiritual knowledge and wisdom among the people of India. As per his guidance, Brahmrishi Geetanand Ashram (Krishna Lok), international branch in Australia, was set up so that the true seekers can get the best possible directions in this modern world.
