About Brahmrishi Geetanand Saraswati
A God-centered Brahmrishi saint with great spiritual powers and a Sage of Universal and Transcendental Knowledge.
Right from the time when this universe originated, the great God (Param Pita Parmatma)- Shri Hari, descended on the holy land, India, in the form of Great Saints and Mahapurush. He performed numerous miracles to guide his devotees and fulfilled their wishes. Hon’ble Shri Dattatriya, Kapil Muni ji, Rishab Dev Ji, Parshuram Ji, Shankracharya Ji, Gautam Budhh Ji, Geetanand Ji, Nanak Dev Ji, Sai Baba Ji, Baba Neevkarori Ji, Goraksh Nath Ji, Baba Surdas Ji, Sant Kabir Das Ji have been some of such great souls.
That ‘nirakar’, ‘nirvikar’, ‘niradhar’, ‘anadi’, ‘anant’, ‘avyakt’ supremacy took birth as ‘Geetanand’ on the auspicious occasion of Ramnavmi for the welfare of the mankind. Brahmrishi Geetanand Saraswati is a born Sage, Mystic and Genius. Since the age of seven, his life has been flooded with numerous spiritual experiences of the omnipresent and omniscient God. He renounced this materialistic world at a very tender age and started searching for a ‘Real Satguru’.
Under the dictates of these experiences, he left his home city Village Birhera, Haryana in North India for Rishikesh at Himalayas, where the world-renowned Sage Brahmrishi Ramanand Ji (Chimte wale Baba) recognized in him an embodiment of the high spirit of renunciation, profound divine wisdom, purity of heart, a Bal Yogi, Bal Gyani, titling him as Geetanand and crowned him with Yog-Diksha at the age of eight years at his Ashram located at Kablaba District Jhajjar, Haryana, India.
Under the instructions of Guru Ramanand Ji, he continued with his meditation and yog sadhna in the forests of Naurangpur. He even kept ‘Maun Vrat’ and ‘Pashupat Vrata’ for over 12 years and spent a major part of his life in the Himalayas, Vindhyachal, Aravallis and other forests practicing yoga and meditation. During this period, Brahmrishi Geetanand plunged himself into an intensive inner spiritual silence. This was the time during which he withdrew himself completely from outer intellectual and literary activities only to realize through his inner experiences, the other dimensions of the supreme Divine Reality.
It was during this time that Goddess Parwati bestowed on him and he was initiated into the science of Ancient Yog by an ancient Maha Yogi at Vashishtha Cave (Himalayas) and at an invisible cave at Naurangpur, which is invisible to all except to Brahmrishi Geetanand Ji. It is a phenomenon that needs to be explained to seeking aspirants after Truth-experience.
Be it in the Himalayas / Aravallis (Vindhyachal) or in the other cities of India, Brahmrishi Geetanand Saraswati lived his life in seclusion, solitude and silence, far removed from publicity and propaganda. Some devotees used to call him ‘Bani’ (as in vana, jungle) Wale Baba. He went to various holy places / forests / mountains, guiding people and establishing a number of ‘ashrams’ at various places.
Param Pujya Guru Geetanand Saraswati’s unique qualifications and qualities provide with the knowledge and know how that is becoming increasingly rare, since his journey includes years of yog sadhna and meditation in the Himalayas, Aravalli, Vindhyachal and in the places of learning all over India. What makes Brahmrishi Geetanand’s method and teachings easy to understand is the simplicity of style that he offers. It intends to involve all of the activities under the heading of Brahm Yoga®.
Guru Geetanand Saraswati was a great Saint bestowed with great spiritual powers. He was a ‘Purna Yogi’ & a ‘Trikaal Darshi’ mahatma. He was inspired by ‘Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta’ and was the follower of Purshartha (Karma) and Parmartha (Paropkar – to help the needy). No true devotee ever returned empty-handed from his door.
He was a friend, philosopher and guide to all who came in contact with him. His ethics are rooted in his knowledge of God as absolute Goodness, absolute Truth and absolute Love. His philanthropy rises from his experience of God as Love, and God as resident in all beings. His services flow from the fact of his life that all living beings are his family. All his works are showerings of divine Grace for the welfare of mankind.
Peoples’ wishes used to get fulfilled by merely glancing at him. Whosoever went to him with whatever wish in their mind, Guru Ji used to tell them, “Chant HARIOM HARIOM and all your wishes would get fulfilled.” He knows in a wonderful way how to place himself in the soul of others and to align himself to the needs and mentalities of those seeking his grace, help and advice, so that he meets the scientist as a scientist, the artist as an artist, the seeker of the Truth as the spiritual light on his path to God-realization. Nobody ever leaves him without having obtained that type of mental nourishment which particularly suits his need.
Wishes of all the devotees get fulfilled by the grace of Brahmrishi Geetanand Maharaj. He had researched deeply and experimented on the ancient vedic culture, spirituality & yog and obtained various siddhis (divine super spiritual powers) mentioned in various puranas (holy books of ancient India) to help and protect the needy. He gave special contributions in the establishment of humanity, ahimsa, spirituality and peace all around the world. He has written many books to show the divine path for the upliftment of the community and make their life peaceful, delightful, and divine.
In his last words to his disciple he said “I have no desires, but only a few divine wishes, and they are the wishes for the health, peace, happiness, prosperity, spiritual progress and enlightenment of all souls.
He further said “I’ll always be there at the Baghol Muktidham for the true devotees and will even give ‘darshan’ to a true devotee.” He assured that everyone who is a true believer will keep getting his guidance and all their wishes will be fulfilled as always.”
Showering his grace, divine peace & spirituality around the world, he took Mahasamadhi on 29 January 1971 at 5.15 pm.
The Samadhi Mandir of Guru Geetanand Maharaj attracts a huge number of devotees from all over the world whose wishes still get fulfilled by the divine presence and grace of Guru Geetanand Maharaj. There is a need for true devotion, faith and surrender to experience His divine grace.
