For 5 decades, Swami Parmanand Ji has been guiding others to their own
self-realization and working towards the betterment of humanity. He has
fostered hundreds of service projects through Akhand Paramdham, the non-profit
organization that manages his vast array of projects.
Ashrams
More than 50 spiritual community ashrams, have been established
where sadhus and serious spiritual seekers are provided refuge
amidst the sacred grounds of devotional temples throughout Northern
and central India. |

| Throughout the year, Swami Paramanand
Ji travels to the various ashrams teaching the Vedant, and guiding
students in a variety of self-realization techniques in his popular
yoga and meditation intensive camps. Typically the days begin before
dawn with meditation and yoga followed by a day of spiritual discourses
and awareness exercises and ending with a question and answer session
before the evening satsang and meditation. In between programs,
Swami Ji oversees the numerous social projects of Akhand Paramdham
as well as implementing new ones wherever he sees the need. |
Educational
Institutions
He has established 16 schools and colleges in remote areas
of India that provide opportunities for those who otherwise
would not be able to get aneducation. Providing classrooms,
room and board and buses for those who need to commute has
been a Godsend for thousands of underprivileged children. |

Vatsalya
Gram
Under the kind patronage of Swami Paramanand Ji, a number
of children’s homes have also been established as an
alternative to orphanages, women’s shelters and old age
homes. |

Children and Grandparent at Vatsalya Gram
|
The concept is to provide a loving family environment
where each child is nurtured, where unmarried women can provide
the tender care the child needs, while elder figures who might
otherwise be in old age homes have the chance of playing grandparent
roles. There are no blood relationships within the family but
each person contributes to the natural well being of the other
and emulates a natural family. |
Women's
Assistance
To assist the economic empowerment of women, Swami Ji has
set up programs that teach a variety of skills such as embroidery,
knitting, sewing and fabric painting, in various villages in
India, enabling women to become independent. |

communities, the nation and the global village we live in. |

Akhand Paramdham has opened 5 hospitals with full modern facilities,
which offer aurevedic as well as homeopathic treatment at low
or no costs. Over 1000 people are being served in any given
day. Professional doctors and nurses who are devotees of Swami
Paramanand Ji consider it an honor to provide their services
to humanity. |

| In an effort to promote cultural nationalism as well
as international unity, all of Akhand Paramdham’s projects
seek to instill cooperation, diversity and an awareness of the
divinity within all of life. |
Vatsalya Gram ... A Mother's Love

Sadhvi
DiDi Ma Ritumbhara
The Vatsalya Gram concept is an alternative to orphanages, women's shelters
and homes for the elderly. Entire villages have been established providing
loving family environments for children. Previously abandoned children
are nurtured, single women become mothers and aunts, and elders who would
otherwise be in old folks homes become grandparent figures. Real families
have developed in these communities where each person contributes to
the natural well being of the other. Swami's devotee, DiDiMa Ritumbhara,
is the dynamic force overseeing this project which has now received international
acclaim.
Vatsalya Gram is changing the lives of many destitue and needy people.
Come forward and help us build a new future for them. Come be a part
of this noble cause.
