Spiritual Leadership

His Holiness Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Gangadharendra Saraswati Mahaswamiji
The 54th Guru in the Swarnavalli Peetha lineage, Sri Swamiji was initiated into Sannyasa Deeksha (renunciation) on 1st February 1991 by Sri Sri Jayendra Saraswati Mahaswamiji of Kanchi Kamakoti Peetha. Known lovingly as “Hasiru Swamiji” (Green Swamiji), he is revered for his tireless service towards environmental protection and spiritual upliftment.
Swamiji’s daily routine is filled with Japa (chanting), Tapa (penance), and Shree Chakra Pooja, along with in-depth study and teaching of scriptures. Under his guidance, Swanandaashrama has grown into a spiritual and social movement.
On 20th February 2024, Shishya Sweekara (acceptance of a disciple) took place, where Sri Ananda Bodhendra Saraswati was initiated as the successor to the Peetha.

Our Mission

Founded nearly 30 years ago, Swanandaashrama has been a centre for Ganesha Tatwa (the essence and philosophy of Ganesha). With spiritual guidance from Swamiji, the Ashrama focuses on spreading this divine knowledge and building awareness around spirituality, culture, society, and environment.

The Ashrama has earned a sacred place in the hearts of the people. It’s Ganesha Utsava (festival) has become a cultural celebration featuring performances by renowned artists and children from nearby villages and schools.

Swanandaashrama also supports over 100 children from six nearby villages by providing school supplies and health awareness. Cleanliness drives, anti-plastic campaigns, and environmental initiatives have brought noticeable social change to the village of Agara, where the Ashrama is located.
