संत शिरोमणी श्री श्री स्वामी सत्यानन्द जी महाराज जी
१९वीं सदी के एक शांत, दान्त, सिद्ध उच्च कोटि के महान संत थे. एक सच्चे अनुभवी, पहुंचे हुए पूरे सतगुरु एवं महान योगी थे.
पूज्य पाद एक विलक्षण एवं अद्वितीय प्रतिभा संपन्न व्यक्तित्व के धनि थे, जिनका सानिध्य व संपर्क प्राप्त कर हम धन्य हुए है और परम सौभाग्यशाली बने हैं.
श्री स्वामीजी द्वारा प्रदत्त नाम दीक्षा एक रहस्यवाद है, जिसमें स्वामीजी अपनी संकल्प शक्ति से साधक के अंत कारण में राम नाम एक जाग्रत चैतन्य मन्त्र को स्थापित करते हैं. जिस प्रकार बीजारोपण एक विशेष प्रकार से तैयार हुई भूमि में किया जाता है और उसके उपरांत जब देखभाल की जाती है तभी वह अंकुरित होता है और कालान्तर में वृक्ष बनता है. इसी प्रकार श्री स्वामीजी के अनुसार गुरु मार्ग दिखानेवाला होता है, उसका कार्य बीज बोना है.साधक का कर्त्तव्य है, सुद्रिड निश्चय के साथ सतत साधना रत रहना, किन्तु जिस प्रकार अच्चा बीज उल्टा सीधा कैसा भी भूमि में डाल दिया जाये अवश्यमेव अंकुरित होता है. उसी प्रकार सिद्ध जागृत संतो से मिला नाम(मंत्र) अवश्य ही अपना रंग दिखता है. साधक के आचार विचार व व्यवहार के परिवर्तन से इसकी अनुभूति की जा सकती है.
श्री स्वामीजी १३ नवम्बर १९६० को भौतिक चोला छोड परम धाम सिधार गए.
Shree Swami Satyanand Ji Maharaj, the founder of Shree Ram Sharnam, was born on 7th April 1868 in Rawalpindi. He had lost his parents in his early childhood. At the young age of 17, he took up the company of spiritual teachers of Jain faith. At the age of 30, he joined the Arya Samaj, and studied Vedanta, Upanishads, and other sacred epics.
He spent the following 25 years giving spiritual talks and spreading the spiritual teachings from the sacred epics.
During this period, he also wrote the following books; Dayananda Prakash, Satya Updesh Mala, Onkar Upasna, Arya Samajic Dharma, SandhyaYog, Ishwar Darshan, and Dayananda Vachnamrit.
Lacking inner peace, in early 1925 he went to Dalhousie in the Himalayas, to meditate in solitude to seek God. On 7th July 1925 the day of Vyas Purnima, Swamiji was blessed with the sounds and inner vision of “Ram Naam”, and with the realization of his soul’s oneness with God. In 1928, he began initiating his followers with “Ram Naam”.
He wrote additional books, namely, Bhakti Prakash, Valmikis Ramayana-sar, Sri Bhagwat Gita, Akadashopnishad Sangrah, Pravachan Piyush (Collection of Swami Ji’s Lectures), Prarthna Aur Uska Prabhav, Upasak Ka Anteric Jeevan, Bhakti Aur Bhakt Ke Lakshan, Sthitpragya Ke Lakshan, Bhajan Avam Dhavani Sangrah, and Amritvani. These volumes are published by Shree Swami Satyanand Dharmarth Trust, New Delhi, and are sold at price below cost. Swamiji has written these epics through inner guidance gained in a state of samadhi. Of all these wonderful books, AMRITVANI has uniquely become universally popular because of its deep Spiritual Power. It is presented in a small book and is widely recited because of its unique power in invoking devotion to Ram.
Swami Ji did not start a separate Spiritual Path. He was a God-realized Saint, like Sant Kabir, Guru Nanak, Samarth Ramdas, Goswami Tulsidas, Sri Ramakrishan Paramhansa and Maharishi Dayanand. Goal of his teaching was to intensify devotion to God through concentration on “Ram Naam”.
Swami Ji initiated Sadhna Satsangs for serious devotees to practice detachment, devotion, purity of body and mind, and healthy living habits. The first Sadhna Satsang was held in Haridwar, followed by many camps all over India. On November 13, 1960 while chanting “Ram Naam”, Swamiji gave up his physical body after transferring his Spiritual Powers to his dear disciple Shree Prem Ji Maharaj, and designating him as the one to replace him. Shree Swamiji’s body was immersed in the Holy Ganges at Neel-Dhara near Haridwar, which has since become a unique Holy Place for all Amritvani devotees.

Born on March 15, 1940 in Narowal District Sialkot (West Pakistan), Pujya Vishwa Mitter Ji Maharaj received his early education in Hissar, followed by Master’s and Doctor’s degrees from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi. After 22 years’ service as an Ocular Microbiologist at AIIMS, he took voluntary retirement.
Pujya Vishwa Mitter Ji Maharaj came to know Shree Prem Ji Maharaj in 1964, at the young age of 24. Although he was skeptical in the beginning about Gurus and Saints, Dr. Vishwa Mitter Ji Maharaj quickly realized the unique personality of Param Pujya Prem Ji Maharaj as that of a true devotee of God with high ideals, who was spreading “Ram Naam”. He asked Param Pujya Prem Ji Maharaj to bless him with “the ability to be a humble human being and to serve humanity”.
Maharaj Ji never married and achieved great professional success as a leading Ocular Microbiologist in whole of Asia. Yet he felt unfulfilled, until he renounced everything and went to Manali, where he spent the next five and Half years in search of God. His intense Sadhna expanded his spiritual understanding such that now he can easily speak at length on various complex spiritual subjects.
At the loving request of the Trustees of Shri Satyanand Ji Maharaj Dharmarth Trust, and other devotees, Pujya Vishwa Mitter Ji Maharaj accepted the responsibility and moved to Delhi. He became the Spiritual Successor of Param Pujya Prem Ji Maharaj, and because of a unique expression in him of spiritual and devotional qualities of both Shree Swami Satyanand Ji Maharaj and Shree Prem Ji Maharaj, certain devotees lovingly call him “three-in-one”.
Pujya Vishwa Mitter Ji Maharaj conveys much through a few words. His scientific background enables him to convey spiritual truths with a scientific perspective. He is indeed an incarnation of humility and service to humanity. He does not consider himself a Guru, but wants to be seen as a servant of all. This lack of pride in his personal nature, in the face of such achievements, attracts everyone to him.
On 2nd July 2012 while chanting “Ram Naam”, Param Pujya Shree Vishwa Mitter Ji Maharaj gave up his physical body at Neel Dhara. Shree Maharaj Ji’s body was immersed in the Holy Ganges at Neel-Dhara near Haridwar, on 3rd July 2012 at 06:00PM (IST)
