Who Is Swami Kailashanand Giri

Mahamandaleshwar Swami Kailashanand Giri is the head of the Niranjani Akhara. Just like the President holds a higher position than the Prime Minister in any country, saints also have a similar hierarchy. 

Among saints, the position of Shankaracharya is the highest, regarded as the most prominent figure. After the Shankaracharya, each of the 13 Akharas has its own Acharya Mahamandaleshwar. Swami Kailashanand became the Acharya Mahamandaleshwar of the Niranjani Akhara in 2021. Prior to that, he held the position of Acharya Mahamandaleshwar of the Agni Akhara.

Biography Of Swami Kailashanand Giri Ji

Swami Kailashanand Giri was born in 1976 in Jamui, Bihar, into a middle-class family. From a young age, he renounced his home and chose the path of spirituality. He became so engrossed in devotion to God that he never looked back at his family. To become a Mahamandaleshwar, one must renounce worldly attachments, perform self-pind-daan, and undergo intense penance.
