Srimat Swami Nigamananda Saraswati Paramahansadev (1880 – 1935) • Master of the Four Vedic Paths.
Sri Sri Thakur Nigamananda
Founder of Assam Bangiya Saraswat Math
India is essentially a land of religion. Whenever religious values decline, the Supreme Divine appears in human form to guide mankind. Srimat Swami Nigamananda Saraswati Paramahansadev took birth in the village of Kutabpur (then undivided Bengal, now Bangladesh) on the auspicious Jhulan Purnima night in 1880 AD.
Following the bereavement of his beloved wife Sudhangshubala Devi, an intense yearning for truth awoke in his heart. Leaving behind worldly prospects, he embarked upon an extraordinary spiritual quest that took him across the length and breadth of India.
He achieved the rare feat of reaching perfection in all four ancient paths of Indian spirituality:
Srimat Swami Nigamananda Paramhansadev made a Trust Deed to administer Assam Bangiya Saraswat Math and the Ashrams (branches) under this Math on 15th Agrahayan 1337 B.S. and revealed it at the Sarbabhouma Bhakta Sammilani held at Purbabangla Saraswat Ashram. He appointed five ascetics, five householders, and the worshiper of Sri Sri Gurudham—in total eleven persons as Trustees. By virtue of the Trust Deed, the Mohanta is the President of the Trust Board, directly administering the Math-ashram.
