The Mission — purpose & introduction

Universal Brotherhood, World Peace and Human Welfare

Through the divine wisdom given by Bhaiya Shri Nandkishore Sharda, the Buddhi-Vivek Yoga Sadhana and selfless action, this mission draws a person towards a life full of joy, peace and human virtue.

The core purpose

The growth of virtue within every person

Yugpravartak Shri Nandkishore Sharda
A simple spiritual path, suited to today's scientific age

Under a special mission, Jagatjanani Maa Tripurasundari and Bhagwan Shiv — Babuji — sent their beloved son, Yugpravartak Shri Nandkishore Sharda (Bhaiyaji), into the world. Through him a simple spiritual path was given to humanity, one shaped to the conditions of today's scientific age, on which every person can walk.

This path is beyond the divisions of age, class, caste and creed. Its aim is that a person cultivates virtue within, carries out their worldly duties without attachment, lives with joy, peace and contentment, and — moving from the human towards the divine — makes their life of true worth.

A practical spiritual method

A new practice grounded in buddhi and vivek

Knowledge, devotion, selfless action and yoga brought together

Bringing together knowledge, devotion, selfless action and yoga, Bhaiyaji gave a divine wisdom that is true, eternal, universal and grounded in science. On that same basis he set out the practice of Buddhi-Vivek Yoga Sadhana.

This practice can be taken up readily in today's materialist times. Its essence is that a person does not flee from worldly life, but transforms it — with awakened discernment, positive thought, the right path and love for God.

The divine ground

Darshan of Jagatjanani Maa through complete surrender

Taking Maa herself as guru, and receiving divine wisdom

Through true longing, firm resolve, severe sadhana, tireless effort and pure love, Bhaiyaji won the grace of Jagatjanani Maa Tripurasundari and received her darshan. Taking Maa herself as his guru, he received divine wisdom from her.

Then, by Maa's grace, command and blessing, Bhaiyaji opened the spiritual path for seeking sadhaks — Sushri Basanti Manihar, Sushri Madhubala Advani and others. From this the Manidweep Adhyatm Parivar — the Maa Parivar — was formed.

The Gyan Ganga

From divine wisdom, faith and trust in God

The nectar-like knowledge given by Jagatjanani Maa was set down, at Bhaiyaji's direction, in the divine book “Mrityu ke Baad ka Alaukik Sansar” (The Supernatural World After Death). Through this work hundreds of people have experienced proof of God's existence and, understanding this eternal truth, have come to know joy, peace and contentment.

Drawn to this same knowledge, many sadhaks are moving towards inner progress alongside the Manidweep Adhyatm Parivar.

Nishkam Karma Sadhana

Projects for the empowerment of girls and women

Education support being given to students
So that no girl in need is left without education for want of money

Within Nishkam Karma Sadhana, Bhaiyaji began projects for the empowerment of girls and women — the Swami Vivekanand Students' Welfare Charitable Trust and the Maa Shardamani Trust. The aim is that no girl in need, of any caste, religion or community, is denied her basic right to education for want of money.

Through these trusts, seeds of sanskar and of spirituality are also sown in the girls. This sacred work has continued without a break for the past 30 years.

To give scholarships to boys in need, Maa Basanti — at Jagatjanani Maa's command — founded the Gyanyogi Shri Nandkishore Sharda Adhyatm Kendra in 2010. Through these trusts, hundreds of students each year are building their future, from Class 9 up to higher professional study.

Human service

Steady support for families in need

During the Covid period, seeing the weak finances of many families in Jodhpur and Balotra districts, Maa Basanti — following Jagatjanani Maa's guidance — began a monthly distribution of food-grain in 2020. With rising prices and the continuing need of these families, the work goes on today.

By March 2025, 14,000+ food-grain kits had been distributed under this scheme. Sewing machines and other support are given to women in need for their livelihood, and free yoga classes are held every day.

Shri Nandkishore Sharda Gyan Ganga Mission

Publishing and free distribution of spiritual literature

The free distribution of spiritual literature
Carrying Bhaiyaji's priceless knowledge to present and future generations

After Bhaiyaji left the physical body on 24 January 2003, Maa Basanti and Madhu Maa founded the Shri Nandkishore Sharda Gyan Ganga Mission on 16 April 2003, for the publishing and free distribution of spiritual literature.

Its purpose is to publish and carry forward Bhaiyaji's priceless knowledge, reflections and papers — such as his personal diary — so that this Ganga of divine wisdom keeps flowing, offering present and future generations the guidance to help build a new age.

Continuity

A family moving forward, lighting flame from flame

The work Bhaiyaji began was carried on smoothly by Maa Basanti. After she left the physical body in 2021, Madhu Maa now guides all of this work with care.

Today the members of the Manidweep Adhyatm Parivar, in complete surrender to Yugpravartak Shri Nandkishore Sharda — the beloved of Jagatjanani Maa Tripurasundari and Bhagwan Shiv (Babuji) — grow on the spiritual path themselves. Alongside this, they carry the work of spreading divine wisdom, selflessly, for universal brotherhood, world peace and human welfare.

Go on lighting flame from flame; go on letting love flow like a river… Every person in the world is in sorrow — go on showing everyone the right path… Go on drawing everyone towards God…
The guiding spirit

This is the living spirit of the Manidweep Adhyatm Parivar

Through practice, knowledge, sanskar and selfless service, this mission draws both the individual and society towards inner progress.
