Although this group is focused on discussing the writings of Pt. Shri Ram Sharma Acharya and Gayatri Mantra Sadhana, the group welcomes those who would like to share their spiritual journey with like minded friends. We can have a free flowing discussion relating to our spiritual life and self-development as well as integration of the modern and ancient sciences and religion relevant in the challenging circumstances of the present times and the upliftment of the entire humanity.

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.
