Be that the decipheration of the esoteric aspects of the subtle science of Kundalini Yoga and Shaktipata, ….etc; research directions on brain and consciousness…etc, discussions on child psychology and family institutions etc; or, information on healthy food and modes of cheerfulness in routine life…, etc, Acharya Sharma’s spontaneity and lucidity make every topic interesting and comprehensible. There is no place for illusion or misconception in his perspicuous analysis and guidance. His oral deliberations too manifest similar perfection of eloquence.

The present volume sketches the life of Acharya Sharma. It gives us the rare opportunity to sharing his experiences in the great Himalayas, experiences of his spiritual endeavors, his devotion, his encounters with the ups and downs and ever-new challenges of an austere and duty-bond married life dedicated to social welfare…. Above all, the volume would allow us to share with him, his serene love and compassion for all beings…., which grew and expanded with every breath of his pious life. This volume also introduces the subject matter, focus and scope of the successive volumes of the Vangmaya series.
Gurudev Shriram Sharma was born on 20th September 1911 in Anvalkheda, Agra district in India. He scrupulously carried out the biddings of his Guru, a great Himalayan yogi, since he was 15 years old. He had lived in arduous places in the Himalayas several times for varied duration of time ranging from few days to several years (vols. 1 and 93).
SCIENCE AND PHILOSOPHY OF GAYATRI MANTRA, MEDITATION, YOGA AND SADHANAS OF SPIRITUAL TRANSMUTATION OF PERSONALITY
Acharya Sharma was a great devotee of Gayatri. He had successfully practiced and mastered the highest kinds of sadhanas (spiritual endeavors) of Gayatri, Savitri and Kundalini. He had completed 24 mahapurashcharanas of Gayatri meditation with ascetic disciplines while also sincerely observing his familial, social and national responsibilities. There is no parallel to this kind of sadhana ever performed by any one on this earth. He deciphered absolute knowledge of the philosophy and science of the Gayatri Mantra and hence that of the entire gamut of yoga and spirituality. He propagated this knowledge for the enlightenment of people across the globe without any discrimination of religion, caste, creed, sex, or social status.
Acharya Sharma had also pioneered experiments on simple sadhana, which could be easily pursued by the people today. He had guided spiritual and intellectual refinement of millions of people by initiating such sadhanas of Gayatri. The nectar extracted by him from the gigantic ocean of the knowledge of Gayatri Mantra and the yoga sadhanas associated with it is presented in the volume nos. 4-6 and 9-15 of the Vangmaya series. These volumes also present the ‘esoteric’ or ‘latent’ treasure of knowledge on – the sadhanas of sublimation of the five levels (sheaths) of consciousness and divine attainments through Gayatri sadhana; the Savitri-sadhana of Gayatri and transmutation of the serpentine power (Kundalini); Scientific basis of sadhanas, ….., etc. The myths and realities of supernormal attainments through Gayatri sadhana – are also thoroughly analyzed by him in these volumes. Authentic experiences of thousands of people are also presented to illustrate how Gayatri sadhana illuminates the worldly, mental and spiritual domains of life and escalates righteous progress. The intensive reviews and experiences cited here include those of erudite scholars, great personalities and noted talents of different ages from different parts of the world.
The above volumes would serve as eminent source of guidance for all aspirants of spiritual attainments through Gayatri meditation and for the scholars of vedik mantras and ancient sciences. These volumes also highlight the special training programs of elementary and higher level Gayatri sadhanas, spiritual refinement and personality development offered in the spiritually charged center of the Gayatri Pariwar mission at Shantikunj, Haridwar (India).
MANTRAS AND MUSIC — SUBTLER DIMENSIONS OF SOUND
The science of music, tantras, mantras and the cosmic and spiritual dimensions of sound are discussed in volume no. 19, 95 and 96. These volumes also report and reviews the findings of scientific research in modern laboratories on ultra- and infra- sonic waves and beyond…., and give new directions to advanced research. Multifarious aspects of sound and the science of mantras are covered here. These range – from the harmonious configuration of syllables in the mantras, the psychological and physical impact of the specific sonic pattern generated by their repeated enunciation…., to …. the origin and expansion of music…; importance of collective changing of mantras …. to … the state-of-art and scope of music therapy….; genesis and perennial expansion of the universe in the eternal sound of Omkara….., to …. the realisation of Shabda-Brahm and Nada-Brahm and attainment of ultimate bliss and divine culmination through Nada yoga…, etc.
SCIENCE AND SPIRITUALITY — NEW EXPERIMENTS
Acharya Sharma had pioneered renaissance of the science of spirituality and established the foundation for its creative integration with the modern sciences. It was indeed a Herculean task given the trends of intellectual and scientific evolution since the past millennium and almost simultaneous deterioration of the institution of religion and culture, which had resulted in a near total neglect of spirituality in human life and had led to all kinds of blind faiths, misconceptions, and prejudices…... The Brahmvarchas research centre established by Acharya Sharma in 1978 at Shantikunj Haridwar (India) stands as a live example of how his ideas could be implemented and researched in the modern laboratories.
ABSOLUTE HEALTH, LONGEVITY OF YOUTH AND BEAUTY
This centre has pioneered, under the noble guidance of Acharya Sharma, research in yagyopathy – cure by herbal medicines sublimated in the sacred fire of Yagya. It has re-investigated the methods of performing Yagya, which were experimented and propagated by the rishis of yore towards the ideal maintenance of the eco-system and healthy environment of life. Volume nos. 25 and 26 throw light on the integrated science and philosophy of Yagya.
Gurudev Shriram Sharma had also inspired in-depth research in Ayurveda – especially on the chemical, botanical and pharmaceutical analysis of the herbal (plant) medicines vis-à-vis the descriptions in ancient scriptures on this Indian science of medicine. A botanical garden of over 400 Himalayan herbs is planted in Brahmvarchas and Shantikunj premises. About fifty ayurvedic medicines are prepared here based on the research findings. These have been found to be effective in curing many chronic and otherwise declared incurable diseases. These are supplied by this centre at low costs and are in great demand within and outside India. For the first time in the modern history of Ayurveda, an expiry date is identified for the dry powders too.
The volume nos. 39 and 40 give detailed information on the above research and the herbal medicines along with a thorough review of the scientific basis and scope of the alternate systems of medicine. These volumes also offer practical guidance for preventive cure and maintenance of healthy and vigorous life today, when the external, as well as the internal, spheres of life are subjected to unprecedented pollution and mental and emotional aberrations. Secrets of – “Absolute Health” and “Longevity of Youth and Beauty”, are elucidated by Acharya Sharma in the volume nos. 41 and 42. Psychological health is an essential component of “Total Health”. The volume nos. 71–73 analyze the gamut of psychological and psychiatric problems and disorders being faced by increasing number of people today. Absolute remedies and preventive measures are discussed here…. Right from practical guidance on stress management in day-to-day life to the principles and practices of arousal of positive thinking and perfect psychological health are presented here.
The knowledge extracted from the scriptures, and the new directions cited for research on the esoteric components like the endocrine system, ….etc, and interdisciplinary studies of neuro-biochemistry, bioelectricity, hormonal secretions, psychology, yoga and the science of spirituality, add to the invaluable contributions of these volumes.
CONSCIOUS, UNCONSCIOUS AND SUPERCONSCIOUS MIND
Acharya Sharma viewed spirituality as an evolution of human psychology. He realised divinity as culmination of spirituality. He affirmed prudence and the piety of the sentiments of love, compassion and altruist service as the spiritual virtues reflecting the presence of thee in the human self. His research on the astonishing potentials of human brain and miraculous powers of mind (c.f. volume no. 18 of this series), bioelectricity, bio-magnetism and elevation of vital energy (vol. nos. 17-18), total psychology and conscious, subconscious and super-conscious cores of human mind (vol. no. 20-22) also elucidates those horizons of neuro-sciences, endocrine system and psychology, which are still beyond the reach of the ‘conventional’ modern sciences. These volumes seem to form the basis for comprehensive scientific research on human brain and mind in the years to come….
The above volumes together with the volume nos. 4-6, 20-21, 57-58, 73-75 and 80 will appraise us with the source of immense power hidden in our own body and mind and motivate ideal evolution of our personality with practical guidance. Acharya Sharma has envisaged arousal of divinity in man (vol. 54) as the natural process of evolution of consciousness which can be initiated by spiritual refinement. Quest for decipheration of the interrelation between the human mind, Nature and the Omnipresent Conscious Force, is investigated by him in scientific light (vol. 55). The illusions and the facts about “Life After Death” – discussed by him in the volume 16 appear to be the best piece of scientifically sound works on this topic of common curiosity.
SCIENTIFIC RELIGION AND THEISM
Acharya Sharma had envisaged scientific religion (vol. 24) as the religion of future. His logical arguments, in-depth analysis of the philosophy of religion vis-à-vis human psychology (vol. 53) would enlighten us with the true meaning, relevance and necessity of religion in human life. His discussions on refinement of the present state of religious systems and on the mutual complementarity of religion and science (vol. 23) and adept guidance on viable interaction of the two streams of true knowledge (vol. 58), would convince us why his seemingly ‘imaginary’ vision should be, and could be, realised for happy survival of human civilization and resurrection of cultural values. How this would gradually materialize in the forthcoming decades is described in the volume nos. 27, 65-66, 101, 106.
Gurudev Shriram Sharma advises worshiping the deity of life (vol. 2) and total surrender to adoption of the piety and radiance of divine virtues (vol. 3), as the best modes of worshiping thee. His answers to the multifarious doubts and queries like – “who or what is God…?”, “where to find thou….?”, etc, would open up the minds of all – including the ardent theists and devotees as well as the ‘rational’ atheists, scientists and intellectuals. His trenchant discussions would enlighten each one of us with the brilliance of truth about the existence, manifestations and realisations of God (vol. 8) and expression of the roots and reflections of theism (vol. 56) in human life.
REINVESTIGATION OF VEDIK LITERATURE
It was sometimes in 1960 when he had translated all the 4 Vedas, 108 Upnishadas, 6 Darshanas, 18 Puranas, Yogavashishtha, and hundreds of Ârañyakas and Brahmanas in Hindi with lucid commentaries to enable the masses get an idea of what this ancient treasure of knowledge contained. It was also aimed at eliminating the misconceptions, superstitions and blind customs which were propagated in the medieval era by deliberate misinterpretations of the vedik hymns and scriptures. This precious contribution to the world of knowledge and to human culture was reverenced by noted scholars and saints like Dr. S. Radhakrishnan and Vinoba Bhave; The distinguished title of “Vedamoorti” was conferred upon him in its recognition….. The nectar of Arsh Sahitya (vedik literature) extracted by him is presented in the volume nos. 102-104.
INTEGRATION OF SCIENCE AND RELIGION AND MASS EDUCATION FROM RELIGIOUS PLATFORM
His deliberations on the teachings of the holy Gita and Ramayana stand as masterpiece of works on these monuments of cultural culmination and divine philosophy of life. His perspicuous explanations have also made these contributions (volume nos. 30-32 and 36) most vivid mediums of mass education.
Gurudev Shriram Sharma was a rishi of the present era. Knowing the psychology of people today, and recognizing the non-relevance, in the present times, of the allegoric characters and the background of life depicted in the Puranas, he endeavored substituting the latter by eloquent literature – written in similar narrative and conversational style, which would preach the eternal principles of happy, progressive and ideal life in scientific light with practical guidance of special relevance in modern age. He wrote the “Pragya Purana” for this purpose. Volume 38 of this Vangmaya series introduces the first six parts of this Purana of our century. The volume nos. 68, 91-92, 94 and 105 contain compilation of his recorded speeches, letters, selected thoughts and poem and songs. These provide an excellent mode for self-learning and contribute to enlightenment of the masses by setting a vivid interaction between the readers and the noble guru, Acharya Sharma.
The volume nos. 43-45, 50-52, 67, and 97-99 also contribute in the above sequence where Acharya Sharma has compiled the inspiring episodes of great many people of the ancient and the modern times, encompassing almost all circumstances and different walks of human life. The lives and works of the elevators of culture, devotees of altruist service, glories of world history, great men and women whom the world will owe for ever…., are also described here. The volumes 69 and 70 together present an encyclopedia of quotable quotes from different scriptures of almost all religions of the world, and the thoughts and sayings of great personalities and distinguished talents of immortal glory. The author’s explanation on the unified purpose and teachings here, make these volumes more useful and remarkable.
REVIVAL OF INDIAN CULTURE
As part of his intensive study of the Indian culture and religious philosophy, he has recovered the sociological and psychological importance of pilgrimage (vol. 37). He has discussed how the ancient glory and the real purpose of the tirthas (sacred places of pilgrimage) could be revived in the present times for the welfare of the masses…. The immortal contributions of the divine culture of India to the rest of the world are reviewed in volume no. 35. The foundational elements of the Indian culture and the secrets of its divine nature are deciphered in the volume no. 34.
It is indeed inspiring to know how the sixteen sacred ceremonies (Shodash Sanskaras) devised here constituted a perfect system for ideal development, psychological conditioning and training…, since the post embryonic stage on one’s existence…. Description and scientific basis of these Sanskaras is presented in volume no. 33. Acharya Sharma also presents a modified system of such Sanskaras, which is more suitable and required in the present circumstances of life. The volume also highlights how the different types and initiation-timings of these Sanskaras help inculcation of righteous attitude, courage, talents and virtuous tendencies…., keeping in harmony with the changing psychology of a person at different stages of life….
THE YUG NIRMAN YOJANA — ADVENT OF ETHICAL, SPIRITUAL, INTELLECTUAL AND SOCIAL REVOLUTION
Gurudev Shriram Sharma attributes the power of thinking as the greatest of all the powers of Nature and its conscious component (vol. 73, 81). He emphasizes arousal of prudence to enable ideal use of this unique power bestowed on humans. Because, it is the advent of righteous thinking, which educes the spark of life in the otherwise ‘dead’ bookish education (shiksha) and thus illuminates the mind and inner self with the initiation of true knowledge (vidya). The nectar of vidya induces the vital charge of divine values in the ‘materialistic’ and self-centered intellect of man and activates the hidden force of his soul. Then, there remains no place left for malice, mistakes, fear, tension, sorrow, despair, weakness or scarcity in any horizon of life…. Every domain of life blossoms with immense bliss and brilliant success thereafter.
How the ideal concept of total education – comprising of vivid conjugation of shiksha and vidya, could be materialized in the modern times, is discussed by him in volume no. 49 of the Vangmaya series. His deliberations on the journey of intellect from ignorance to wisdom (vol. 7) and his guidance on total education system for the adolescent and the matured minds (vol. nos. 58, 76-78, 84), emanate from deep understanding of human psychology and the influence of external circumstances of life and the subtle world of consciousness on it. This is why his ideas seem to give rise to what might be considered a perfect system of education today. The symphony of self-reliant and moral education orchestrated by his organization at Shantikunj, Haridwar and Gayatri Tapobhumi, Mathura, have been very successful and have demonstrated how his ideas could be implanted in reality (vol. 66, 89, 106).
Acharya Sharma’s approach is comprehensive and down-to-earth. Most importantly, it encourages collective participation of people from all walks of life. He envisaged social, ethical and intellectual revolution (vol. 65) by elevation of people’s life in associated dimensions on personal, familial and social horizons. On this basis he had conceptualized, planned and initiated ” Yug Nirman Yojana” (vols. 66, 106) to help materialize emergence of a bright era of moral, cultural and spiritual evolution. The boons of scientific and technological advancement would then be used righteously to embark upon progress with peace and happiness for all and resurrection of the divine dignity of humanity.
The foundation of organizational structure necessary for the implementation of the Yug Nirman Yojana, was laid by propagation of the knowledge of Gayatri and Yagya in scientific light. This had also made possible, endeavoring, the revival of the Indian Culture in its original glorious form…. Gayatri sadhana is the universal source for purification of the inner self, illumination and righteous orientation of intellect, and evolution of spirituality (volume nos. 9 to 15). The philosophy of Yagya teaches the altruist mode of living a creative and enlightened life. Scientific experiments on Yagya serve the dual purpose of purification of environment and total cure by natural herbs (volumes 25-26).
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE FOR YUG NIRMAN YOJANA
The unique experiment of “Vichara Kranti” – gradual refinement of thoughts, righteous transformation of attitude and sublime transmutation of human psychology up to the divine realms of spirituality – was initiated by Acharya Sharma from the day he had organized a grand Gayatri Yagya in Mathura (India) in 1958. The saintly life of Acharya Sharma and his wife, the spiritual charge of their personalities and the inner power of their sacred love for all beings, had attracted all those who had attended this Yagya to work for the noble cause of his great mission. This is how the “larger family” typed organization – called “Gayatri Pariwar”, came into existence. This has now expanded across the globe beyond the barriers of religion, creed, caste, sex, socioeconomic status or educational background.
NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Acharya Sharma was a dedicated freedom fighter, who had sincerely participated in the movement of India’s independence. He was trained under the noble guidance of Pt. Madan Mohan Malviya, Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, (Maharshi) Arvindo Ghosh, and other revered national heroes of India. A postal stamp was released by the Govt. of India in 1992 to honor his great services to the nation. Right since he was a young volunteer in the non-violent freedom-struggle, this great patriot envisaged that – “if India were to be independent and progressive in the truest sense of the words, an absolute revolution would be necessary on the cultural front too.…”. The state of the nation today – after 50 years of political independence, evinces that his vision was indeed real.
That his saintly heart breathed for the welfare of all living beings was clearly expressed, since his childhood, by his altruist service of the poor, weaker and down trodden ones around him (vol. 1). After India’s independence, he had, unlike many other freedom- fighters, chosen to dedicate his life for social and cultural reformation from the religious rather than political platform. His definition, philosophy, and realisations of religion (volume nos. 23-24, 36, 53, 89) are scientific and universal as they emanate from an absolute understanding of human mind and realisation of the inner self. His sagacious deliberations, vision and accomplishments would convince us why his approach is most effective in making the nation strong and self-reliant (vol. 64, 90).
SOCIAL REFORMATION
As part of the social reformation programs of the Yug Nirman Yojana, he had given maximum importance to eradication of blind faith, superstitions and untoward customs and traditions prevailing in the Indian society in the name of religion. Details on some of these social reformative activities and their successful expansion are presented in the volume nos. 36, 59, 100-101 and 106-107 of this series. Emancipation of the glory of marriage institution from the clutches of the social evils of dowry, child marriages, exploitation of women, etc., were propagated (vol. 60, 82-84) by Acharya Sharma from the religious platform too. This bears significant impact in the Indian context where religion appears to dominate the convictions and attitudes of the masses.
21ST CENTURY — WOMEN’S CENTURY
Acharya Sharma had pioneered effective program of women’s welfare and arousal of the power and honor of womanhood under the banner of “Nari Jagaran Abhiyan” of his mission since 1940s. The predominant role of a woman, as the first teacher of her child, developer of the future generations, architect of the family institution and hence of the society and the nation too…., is given high recognition under the reformative and educative programs of the Yug Nirman Yojana (vol. 47, 85-86). Thanks to his inspirations that the glory of women has begun to re-shine in India first time after the vedik era; women have been conducting grand Yagyas and religious programs in large number under the auspices of Gayatri Pariwar.
He foresees the 21st century as women’s century (vol. 62). The earlier the human society learns this and helps elevation of the status of its oppressed and so-called ‘weaker’ half, the better it would be… The above volumes also cite comprehensive reviews of women’s contributions to the world history, their revered status in the (original) Indian culture. The history of deterioration on the socioeconomic and religious fronts and the negative psychological trends, misconceptions and misdeed, which led to discrimination between man and woman, are also discussed trenchantly. The reviews also include those of the past, present and future of the women liberation movements, which sprouted with the intellectual civilization and the advent of liberal thinking and democratic developments.
Reformation of the family institution and the marriage institution is given maximum importance by Acharya Sharma as these constitute the building blocks of the edifice of a progressive society and nation (vols. 48, 60, 78-79). He taught (vols. 61, 87-88) and set live examples to demonstrate that married life is indeed the ideal phase for ascetic practices and spiritual refinement and also for contributing to the worldly progress of the society. His guidance on child development and eminent training of the younger generation (vols. 63, 76-77) should be also read and followed by all those who care for the future of human society.
ARCHITECT OF NEW SOCIETY
The global welfare activities under the Yug Nirman Yojana are not confined to providing external help to the needy and deprived ones. Rather, this mission aims at finding viable solutions to improve the status of people’s life forever. It aims at enabling people solve their own problems and help educe confidence and positive thinking in others too. The personality development programs (vols. 20, 80) of this mission focus at arousing the inner potentials of the individuals and giving positive and creative orientation to their talents…. The programs of self-reliant education, coupled with moral elevation and spiritual refinement – initiated under the banner of this mission since 1971, have set shining examples of what is an ideal service of the human society (vol. nos. 66, 100-101, 106-107).
The comprehensive planning of Yug Nirman Yojana encompasses simultaneous materialization of ethical, intellectual and social revolution in day-to-day life. Systematic action for this purpose begin with the objective of maintaining healthy body, pure mind and practice of industrious co-operation…. at the individual and familial levels, and gradually lead to the development of a culturally civilized ideal society….
THE ALL WORLD GAYATRI PARIWAR
It is remarkable to note, how the determined pledge of a single person (Acharya Sharma), Yug Nirman Yojana , has brought billions of people together in Gayatri Pariwar for the same purpose…. This grand organization has grown and is continuously expanding without the support of any governmental or non-governmental funding or donations by rich bigwigs. The small sums and pennies contributed by millions of its members on regular basis have played remarkable role in strengthening its financial resources. Generous devotion of talents and labors by these true followers of Acharya Sharama, ensure the successful progress of Yug Nirman Yojana.
The mission’s fraternity at Shantikunj, Haridwar – an academy for moral and spiritual awakening and training…, Brahmvarchas research centre (also in Haridwar) for creative integration of the modern science with spirituality, other major establishments – Gayatri Tapobhumi, Mathura, Akhand Jyoti Sansthan, Mathura, Janmbhumi Sthan at Anvalkheda, Agra, and over 3000 distributed social reform centres (called Shakti Pithas or Pragya Mandalas) are engaged in making Acharya Sharma’s dream of “revival of divine culture and global welfare” come true.
The activities of this mission rebuilt our faith in the miraculous strength of collective endeavors for altruist purposes. The details given in this volume would further educe our hopes in the possibilities of resurrection of human dignity even in the present times of – deterioration of cultural and social system and a near total crisis of faith in moral values.
The distinct excellence of Acharya Sharma’s approach lies in the fact that he encourages natural escalation of people’s bodily, mental, intellectual and spiritual potentials by inspiring their conscious and unconscious minds…. This way, every man and woman can rise consistently from whatever his present level is, by adopting what Acharya Sharma calls – “the art of living”, and by sincerely following the simple disciplines and practices of self-analysis, self-restrain, self-evaluation and Pragyaa yoga taught by him in several volumes of the Vangmaya series.….
As the collective and continuous motion of waves in an ocean expands beyond every limit, similarly, the collective and progressive endeavors of refinement and elevation pursued by the individuals can lead to the grand arousal and transmutation of collective consciousness along the limitless grandeur of the divine origin of humanity. This is how the currently “unimaginable” objective of resurrection of a bright era, is expected to be achieved in the next millennium.
EVOLUTION OF HUMANITY — DAWN OF BRIGHT ERA
Gurudev Shriram Sharma Acharya gives us a glimpse of the new world order and bright future in the next millennium and beyond – in the Vangmaya volume nos. 27-29, 68, 92 and 108, where he also cites the visions of great prophets and visionaries of the world. His great shadhnas of subtlizaiton and spiritual sublimation of his consciousness (refer vols. 28-29 for details on these unique spiritual experiments of the present era) were focused at contributing to creation of ideal environment in the subtle world toward entelechy of bright future of the world…. As part of this sukshmikarana sadhana, he had voluntarily shed his physical sheath on Gayatri Jayanti, 2nd June 1990.
The last message of Gurudev (refer vols. 1, 108) unfolds the divine purpose of his incarnation….. Part of it reads –”The light of which I have been an instrument an medium will not extinguish with my withdrawal from the physical realm. I assure all my parijans that I will continue living and working with them at Shantikunj and elsewhere in my astral-causal body ……. and guide, help and inspire them in their efforts to lead humanity into the Golden Era of Truth, Light and Immortality. I will finally merge into the Blissful Luminous causal self ……., after humanity has taken decisive leap into the cosmic consciousness and attained the light of the New Era of spiritual Unity, Harmony and Peace…….
My blessings, love and prayer-filled wishes to all….. I will always be with them in their selfless and noble endeavors in this divine work…”
May this Vangmaya series educe the afflatus of his spiritual charge in our souls and motivate each one of us to arouse and realise the high realms of humanity under his divine guidance.
