Swami Mahavanam Saraswati has an inborn inclination towards Bharatiya Vidyas to learn and live for the achievement of divine-sight and for the upliftment of divine-height. He has an unquenchable thirst to know and realize the mystery of life. He has a sound and burning urge to evolve and effulge from the deep within to all around.
After his graduation, at the age of twenty-two, he felt an urgent need of a Guru, who can guide him on the path of spirituality. In his dream and emotion, he was very fond of Swami Shivananda through his books and literatures, who was a renowned and revered Guru for guiding spiritual aspirants. But swami Shivananda was no more in his body. So he kept wandering in search of a Guru. Some how he came to know about Swami Niranjanananda, who is a grand- disciple of Swami Shivananda. So at the end he decided to go and meet Swami Niranjanananda for his spiritual quest. With a humble heart and noble steps, he approached Swami Niranjan for his spiritual growth and guidance. In course of time, he got saturated by their ideas and decided to stay with them. During his stay – he served his Guru, the best way he could offer his service to him. Side by side, he has also studied yoga educationally in a university pattern system. And at the same time, he has also focused to imbibe the traditional wisdom of Sannyasa, which is a compulsory part of discipline to pave the path of spirituality.
The first half of his stay, he has lived under the direct guidance of Swami Niranjanananda. That was the foundational period of his life to build and barricade himself for divine blooming. He tried to follow and flow with his Guru’s words and commands. During this period, he has done active participation in all the required needs of the Ashram activity, such as : management & administration, education & discipline, Puja & programe, cleaning & guarding, publication & accommodation, and kitchen & gardening etc. by this way he got fully occupied and engaged in this noble service to his Guru.
In 2001 he was sent to his grand Guru(Paramhamsa Swami Satyananda) to live under his direct guidance and proper care for rest of the stay. He got introduced to Paramhamsaji. Paramhamsaji gave him some responsibility and told him that this is your sadhana. After that he has plunged himself into the practice of Karma-yoga(selfless service) for the fulfillment of his Grand-Guru’s command. And he kept it up, till he got further instruction to leave the Ashram, at his ripening stage. All of a sudden, on the auspicious day of Vijaya Dashami(1st October 2006 at 6 o’clock in the morning) he was called and told to leave the Ashram immediately. Without any single thought, he prostrated in front of them and left the Ashram soon(within 5-10 minutes).
When he came out of the Ashram, he lived like a wandering monk and kept visiting yoga-institutes, universities, colleges, schools, hospitals etc. to serve what he knew and to learn what they knew. In this period, he has got chance to interect with doctors, teachers, professors, scientists, sadhaks and yogis to give and take better ideas towards life in modern age. Most of the time he remained in touch with the following institutions to work with ie. (a) B.R.Ambedkar Bihar University, Muzaffarpur,(b) Shanti Kunja Haridwar,(c) Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga,(d) Acupressure Shodha Prashikshan avam Upchar Sansthan Allahabad,(e) International Naturopathy Organization Pune,(f) Nutan Sanjivini Sansthan Deoghar,(g) Vivekananda Kendra Bangalore,(h) Bhartiya Yoga Sansthan Delhi,(I) Arya Samaj Mandir,(j) Amrita Vishwa Vidya Peetham Coyambtoor,(k) Medras University Chennai(l) Famous Akharas & Peeths of Sannyasa Parampara, and (m) Central Council of research in Yoga and Naturopathy Delhi etc.
The whole purpose was behind it to remain fresh, updated and keen towards life, yoga and divinity.
Experience

He has worked and experienced the essence of yoga. Yoga is a science of soul and an art of living - it is the oldest technique for self-development. It provides health, harmony and happiness.
