Avadhuta Nityananda of Kanhangad and Vajreshwari was a most divine Guru, possessing unique spiritual powers. HE was, and still is, famous throughout India as an extraordinary saint. HE always revelled in His own joy, identifying Himself with the entire universe. HE was completely detached from all HIS actions and lived frugally. HE was a divinely intoxicated yogi and was a born Siddha ('Perfect Master'). After wandering across the length and breadth of India on foot, HE finally chose Vajreshwari near Mumbai as HIS abode. On 8 August 1961 HE gave up HIS earthly form.

Param Poojya Swami Chetanananda Saraswati was born in a noble and religious family in South India. HE realised the true knowledge of the Self from within at the tender age of five. HE surrendered HIMSELF to Bhagwan Nityananda at the age of 11. Avadhuta Nityananda inspired HIM to serve the Motherland. For the next 12 years HE devoted Himself to selfless service as a social worker, fighting the hidden evils of the nation, ever mindful to stay away from name and fame.

In 1971, Mother Kanyakumari revealed Herself to Param Poojya Gurudev. HIS mode of rendering service changed according to Her instructions. From the southernmost tip of India, HE walked to the Himalayas, inspiring people and creating an awareness about Mother Kundalini. Even today HE serves HIS disciples through the ancient process of Shaktipat, lighting up their lives with the bliss of their own inner Self.
