Current Leader Of Mahanirvani Peetha

Coronation of HDH Bhagavan Sri Nithyanandam Paramashivam

Recognized in 2007 as the successor spiritual leader of the Mahānirvaṇi Akhāḍā, HDH Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam was declared and coronated by the official leadership of the Sri Panchayati Akhada Mahanirvani as the “1008th Mahāmanḍaleśvar”. 

Through a process of democratic selection amongst the 43 Mahāmanḍaleśvars of all the 14 Akhāḍās, He was unanimously elected as the 1008th Mahāmanḍaleśvar of Sri Panchayati Akhada Mahanirvani (Spiritual Kingdom). This was a monumental rare honor in the history of all 14 Akhāḍās of the Indian Kingdom, having one of the youngest spiritual leaders to receive the title and responsibility thereof, as the Mahāmanḍaleśvar for the Kailaasa Paramparagatha Mahanirvani Peetha Sarvajnapeetham. And with that started the revival of Kailaasa during the period of His Divine Holiness through the Mahanirvani Peetha. 

In the 2007 Kumbh Mela at Allahahad (Prayag) in North India, HDH was honored with the royal chariot of the Mahanirvani Peetha as the Mahāmanḍaleśvar, and enthroned on it, He led the sacred procession of all the 14 Akhadas to the Triveni Sangamam (Confluence of the three sacred rivers) where He took the first dip  – Shahi Snan (Royal Bath) and following Him the remaining akhadas and millions of people dipped in the sacred confluence.
