Pt. Shriram Sharma Acharya---A seer-sage and a visionary of the New Golden Era

His personality was a harmonious blend of a saint, spiritual scientist, yogi, philosopher, psychologist, writer, reformer, freedom fighter, researcher, eminent scholar and visionary. He pioneered the revival of spirituality and creative integration of the modern and ancient sciences and religion relevant in the challenging circumstances of the present times. In 1979, he founded the Brahmavarchas Research Institute, the research center in Haridwar (India) dedicated to the integration of the modern and ancient sciences in a practical way motivated by the noble goal of health and happiness for all. This center houses well equipped laboratories of Haemetology, Biochemistry, Neurophysiology, Cardiology, Phytochemistry, Psychometry, Yagyopathy etc.

At the age of 15, (Jan 18th, 1926) a great Himalayan yogi by the name of Swami Sarveshvaranandji appeared before him in astral body from the flame of the Dipaka (lamp) and guided him throughout his entire life. The next 24 years of his life were devoted to 24 Mahapurashcharanas –each consisting of the rhythmic recitation (japa) of 2.4 million Gayatri Mantra with strictest of disciplines. In 1943, he married Bhagwati Devi, and ever since, the saintly couple dedicatedly pursued the noble mission of spiritual upliftment of humankind.

Realizing the potential of inspiring literature and its relevance in the present era of intellectual evolution, he had chosen writing as the principal mode towards uprooting the evil tendencies and blind faith from people’s minds and arousing the indwelling wisdom, strength and spiritual bliss. He wrote about 3000 enlightening books in Hindi on almost all topics concerning human life. He translated the entire Vedic Vangmaya (4 Vedas, 108 Upanishads, 18 Puranas etc.) in Hindi elucidating the tradition, style, universality and history of Vedic Literature. He also practiced higher-level Sadhana on the arduous heights of Himalayas several times and had established enliven contact with Rishis of Himalayas. During 1984-1986, he carried out the unique spiritual experiment of Sukshmikarana, meaning sublimation of vital force and physical, mental and spiritual energies. He authored a special set of 20 books highlighting the future of the world and conveying the message of the dawn of the New Era of Truth during the 21st Century. On 2nd June 1990, he voluntarily shed his physical sheath.

Translation of some of his books is now available in English online. One can also visit www.awgp.org, www.dsvv.org, www.akhand-jyoti.org or join (gayatri_parivar/ ) to find out more about him and his writings/messages to humanity.

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 programmes 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 programmes (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 programmes 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….
