Swami Shri Adgadanand Ji Maharaj came to the recluse of the worldly saint Paramanand Ji at the age of 23 years in November 1955 searching for the truth. The hermitage of Parmanand Ji was at Chitrakoot Anusuiya, Satna, Madhya Pradesh (India) amidst the dense forests infested with wild animals. Living in such inhabitable forest in the absence of any facility, this rightly reflects that he was a great sage.
Reverend Paramhans Ji received a premonition of Swami Adgadanand Ji Maharaj’s arrival many years earlier. The day he reached the ashram, Paramhans Ji received divine guidance. He told his disciples, “A young man who is ardently seeking to go beyond the impermanence of life must be coming at any moment now.” The moment he cast his eye upon him, Paramhans Ji declared, “Here he is!”
Swami Ji has never advanced the claim that he has attained divinity. He merely presents to society whatever invaluable jewels he has been able to receive in his quest for the Ultimate Truth.
Swami Ji has spent fifteen years of his life in deep meditation in proximity of his Guru. There are many present who have seen him forsaking food, water, sleep, etc. for months together.
Since the Nirvana of Gurudev in 1969, for the last thirty years, wherever Swami Ji has stayed, several cloistered holy people, thousands of devotees from all regions and plenty of grief-stricken people had the unique opportunity to regularly interacting with him and seeking his blessings. Making continuously the necessary arrangements for people travelling from very long distances, providing free service of snacks, food and rest without ever seeking help from the others is certainly a miraculous feat.
