The longer published account of the life, conventions and honors.
His Holiness Mahabrahmrishi Shree Kumar Swami Ji is one of the most respected Indian spiritual leaders and His organization Bhagwan Shree Laxmi Narain Dham (BSLND) is exemplifying the power of global fraternity among humankind. BSLND, through its centers worldwide, has been conducting Ancient Science Conventions under the aegis of His Holiness with the vision that every being should be healthy and happy and there should be interfaith harmony among people. These conventions are an example of human coexistence where people of different religions, cultures, castes and nationalities attend together. 660+ ancient science conventions have been organized worldwide including Asia, North America (New York, New Jersey, California, Chicago, Ohio, Ontario, South Carolina, Michigan, Illinois, Virginia), Europe (United Kingdom, Germany, Italy), Australia (Sydney, Melbourne, New Zealand), Africa (Kenya, Mauritius) and the Middle East (Dubai, Bahrain).
His Holiness has dedicated His life to embracing the secrets of ancient science revealed in the holy scriptures of all faiths and religions, enlightening mankind of their glory and divine benefits. He frequently quotes from Hindu scriptures such as the Vedas, Puranas, Upanishads, Gita and Dhammapada along with the Holy Bible, the Holy Quran and Guru Granth Sahib, exemplifying a deep knowledge of the scriptures.
His Holiness’ tryst with this ancient science dates back to 1954. He was born in a small border village, Karanpur, in the Hanumangarh district of Rajasthan, India. While in school He used to skip classes and go to the fields to sit in meditation for hours. Soon His parents realized that He was not an ordinary child. To their surprise, they found that whatever He spoke came true. While He was only 12 years old, the supreme knowledge ‘Brahma Gyan’ was revealed to Him, which He expressed as His revelation and His communion with Ma Durga, the Supreme, in the form of four-liners published as a book titled Maykhana. He has also perfected (siddha) the mantra of salvation. His spiritual quest continued through adulthood, where He studied and practiced various spiritual streams. He acquired a deep knowledge of Ayurveda, India’s ancient system of medicine. He is regarded as one of the foremost Ayurvedic physicians and has inspired medical research to bridge the gap between Eastern and Western medicine, as acknowledged in the United States Senate in 2011. Prevention of fungal infections, described as a root of many ailments, remains a challenge for the world. His Holiness treats fungal infections by ancient-science methods at conventions. Attendees have reported immediate results, and those results have been checked by scientific methods.
His Holiness has traveled with the value of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam — the Sanskrit phrase from the Maha Upanishad which means “the world is one family” — to instill equality and universal brotherhood in people of different religions. He believes there is a better chance of peace between nations if citizens are happy, healthy and prosperous, as peace can exist amongst equals, while strains appear amongst unequals. In conventions across the world He gives mantras and paath (sacred words from scriptures) to relieve people of health, financial and mental difficulties.
