About the author
Shriram Sharma Acharya
73 books18 followersShriram Sharma (also known as Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya) was an Indian seer, sage, a prominent philosopher, a visionary of the New Golden Era, and the Founder of the All World Gayatri Pariwar, which has its headquarters at Shantikunj, Haridwar.
He pioneered the revival of spirituality, creative integration of the modern and ancient sciences and religion relevant in the challenging circumstances of the present times.
Right from his childhood, Acharyaji showed the yearning and deep commitment for the welfare of common masses when he took a brave step of nursing an old “untouchable” woman suffering from leprosy against the strong disapproval and displeasure of his family. She used to work in their household and was called Chapko, Acharyaji was curious about her prolonged absence, when she did not show up for a few days. So he set out in her search towards the outskirts of the village (“untouchable” settlements were usually constructed on the outskirts of the villages). He found her in a terrible condition, screaming out in pain and agony, the screams suppressed due the lack of energy and being devoid of food, conditions worse than that of animals, stripped of all human dignity. The reason for her degradation to a creature of pity was the combined apathy of the residents of the village and her relatives, but the only one who cared was Acharyaji. He conferred with physicians and vaidyas (traditional Hindu physicians), procured the medicines, the dressings for her. Took out time daily to bathe her, to apply medicine, dress her wounds and feed her. This was particularly remarkable during the time when the "Chhut-Achhut" (untouchability) crisis was at its peak. This event in his life is particularly important as it highlights his belief in Karm (action, doing, hands-on-approach) in life.
The Great freedom fighter and founder of Banaras Hindu University, Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya solemnized his sacred thread ceremony (Yagyopaveet) and initiated him in the Gayatri Mantra.
At the age of fifteen, his Spiritual Guru, a Himalayan Yogi, Sarveshwaranandji had appeared in his vision during the worship in the astral form. As per Sarveshwarandji's instruction, Gurudev performed twenty-four lakh times (2.4 million) recitation of Gayatri Mantra each for twenty-four years (24 mahapurashcarañas). He visited Himalayas four times for higher spiritual attainments and at the same time took active part in India's freedom movement. He was sent to jail thrice for his participation in freedom movement.
To help people, his aim was to diagnose the root cause of the ailing state of the world today and enable the upliftment of society. He recognized the crisis of faith, people’s ignorance of the powers of the inner self, and the lack of righteous attitude and conduct.
Realizing the potential of inspirational literature and its importance in sparking an intellectual evolution, he had chosen writing as the principal mode towards uprooting the evil tendencies and blind faith from people’s minds and arousing the indwelling wisdom, strength and spiritual bliss.
Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya initiated the movement of VICHAR KRANTI (Thought Revolution) with the very first issue of “Akhand Jyoti”. By 1960, he had compiled and translated the 4 Vedas, 108 Upanishads, 6 Darshanas, 18 Puranas, Yogavasishtha and various Aranyakas and Brahmanas with lucid commentaries to enable the masses to understand the knowledge contained in them. The translation was also aimed at eliminating misconceptions, superstitions and blind customs, which were propagated in the medieval era by misinterpretations of the Vedas and other scriptures. This contribution to the world of knowledge and human culture was highly acclaimed and appreciated by scholars like Dr S Radhakrishnan, Acharya Vinoba Bhave; the distinguished title of “Vedmurti” was conferred upon him in its recognition.[5]
