The Ashram was founded by the divine
saint Swami Amar Dev in 1920 in Kotjai - a part of the
Northwest Frontier Province (NWFP) in the undivided
India. Later from 1935 to 1947 it functioned in Darya
Khan, and from 1944 also in Mankera, both parts of
the Miawali district (now in Pakistan). After the
partition of India in 1947 Swamiji made a new beginning
by setting up the Ashram Harimandir Sanskrit Mahavidyalaya
in Pataudi (district Gurgaon), Haryana, India. After the
Mahasamadi of Swami Amar Dev in November 1976, his
sannyasin disciple Swam Krishan continued and expanded
the mission of his Sadgurudev. Swami Krishan Dev
left his mortal coil in October 1999. Since then his
sannyasin disciple Swami Dharam Dev is heading the
institute and lending his guiding light to its
work programme. |
