About Sundara Chaitanya Movement :


Inspiring Gyana Yagnas :

The young Swamin could see that the men of the world around him though wise and learned were completely in the dark regarding the knowledge of their own cultural heritage. He, therefore, tried to give them a right interpretation of our ancient and sacred culture for which he employed all the mental faculties and intellectual capabilities, which the Almighty bestowed on him. He tried in his own unique way to explain both to the educated and the uneducated masses the contents of the immortal Upanishads and the Gita. He traveled widely conducting ‘Gyana Yagnas’ inspiring, thrilling, reviving and awakening people through spiritual discourses and sankeertans. His erudition, oratory, literary and musical skills helped him tremendously in fulfilling his mission. The task of bringing about a cultural renaissance embarked on in his nineteenth year was successfully carried out for nearly two decades.

The Need for an Ashram :

The year 1984 however, proved to be an epoch-making year in the history of his missionary work. Countless devotees who came into his fold and were awakened and transformed by him began to feel the need for an ashram - a divine hermitage, which they thought would give them solace from the pangs and pains of life and form a strong and constant base for their spiritual sadhana. But Swamiji’s views were different. He personally felt that he was not the kind of a person who could be limited and confined to an institution. He was apprehensive that his abundant and varied skills would stagnate and not be fully utilized if his free movement in society were restricted. He felt he was for the masses - for the rich, the poor, the literate, the illiterate, men, women, old and young, for all castes, creeds, clans and classes of the world. He wanted to run like a stream to quench the spiritual thirst of the millions. He wished to flow like a river through vast expanses of spiritually parched lands wetting and revivifying them before he could mingle with the divine sea of eternity. But as God would have it, the honest prayers of the devotees for a Sadguru were answered, and their wish to set up an ashram of their own was fulfilled. So, on the 11th of November 1985, much against the wishes of Swamiji the Sundara Chaitanya Ashram was first started on the banks of the holy Godavari at Dowlaiswaram in Andhra Pradesh.

The Divine Mission:

Swamiji continued his work of spreading the glory of Sanatana Dharma by conducting gyana yagnas across the length and breadth of the state both in urban and rural areas. He has set up satsangs not only in cities and towns but also in the remotest villages of the state. His elaborate expositions of the Upanishads, Sankara’s works, puranas and itihasas both in Telugu and English have captured the minds of the intelligentsia.
The intelligent and novel methods of teaching adopted by Swamiji give a logical understanding of the hows, whys and wherefores of religion. He explains exhaustively the deeper significance and the truer implications of our scriptures, brings them within the intellectual appreciation of the educated as well as the uneducated masses, and in this way, having convinced them of the glory of our religion, encourages them to appreciate and live the moral values of life. This is how Swamiji attracts millions as a spiritual orator.
Giridhari, the spiritual monthly magazine was started in the year 1985, a year after the ashram was started. Countless audio cassettes and C.Ds of Bhajans and songs written, musically composed and sung by Pujya Swamiji himself are released every month. Hundreds of audio and video C.Ds of Pujya Swamiji’s discourses and Dhyana classes gush out after each yagna and spiritual sessions in the ashram. All these keep the lamp of bhakti and gyana burning steadily in the hearts of the devotees wherever and in whichever walk of life they may be.
