Swami Paramananda, our beloved Guru Maharaj was born on 25th December 1954 at a small village named Krishnadebpur, in district of Burdwan in West Bengal State in India. He was named 'Rabindranath' (full name) or ‘Rabi’ (nick name) by his parents- Father Fakir Chandra Das and Mother Nivanani Devi. He studied up to sixth grade and could not continue his traditional schooling due to economic challeng
es; however he had almost all the knowledge of the material world that a person can ever been known to have in the history of mankind. His ability to talk about any subject with deeper thought was most astonishing. It was amazing how he explained the most composite and deeper thoughts with simple words in response to any question placed before him. He went to the Himalayas at very early age and travelled the entire length and breadth of the mountains by foot. During that time he came in touch with several high spiritual personalities. Later he traveled almost all of India and felt the struggle of the orphans and street children in their everyday life– no body to take care, no one to give food. He himself felt the torture and exploitation of these kids and promise to himself to make a center for these orphan kids to help them to get out of such condition to become independent in their life. He started to work on His “Man Making programme i.e. the Art of Life and Art of Living" to know body language, read one's mind and know Thyself. In the year 1978 as for the Divine Plan he established a Socio-spiritual Centre called PARAMANANDA MISSION. This centre was located at Banagram, a remote village in the District of Burdwan, 14 kilometres away from the nearest township, Memari. He then established an Orphanage Home at the mission to serve the helpless orphans and also to create a platform for his followers to attain perfection through Selfless Service. Later several branches of this Mission have been established to spread service to the humanity. He said that "The world does not need more religions – we need humanity". He envisioned and established Paramananda Mission to put forward an example that the service to the humanity is the service to the living God. Moreover he told us that peace will first come within “you” and then can be spread throughout the outer world. He visited many European & Scandinavian countries, Russia and a few African countries, and all of India and showered his Blessings and Universal Love to all.
