In his previous life, His Holiness Mahatapasvi Shri Kumarswamiji was in Gyanganj (Jnanganj) Ashram in the Himalayas. His name was Swami Kshemananda then and his Guru was Paramhansa Swami Nemananda Ji. In Jnanganj Ashram there are two nanganj Ashram. – Yoga and Science. Swami Kshemananda Ji was a student in Yoga branch. In this life, as Shri Kumarswamiji, he was in close and continuous contact with Gyanganj Ashram. Gyanganj Ashram has many adepts working for the benefit of mankind and the whole universe. To mention a few names of the adepts of Gyanganj Ashram – Paramhansa Maha Tapa Ji Maharaj, Paramhansa Bhrigu Rama Ji, Paramhansa Nemanand Ji, Paramhansa Abhayanand Ji, Paramhansa Jnana-nanda Ji, Paramhansa Vishuddhananda Ji. There are many Bhairavis (women adepts) too – Uma Bhairavi, Shama Bhairavi, Jnana Bhairavi etc. While Paramhansa MahaTapa Ji Maharaj is head of Jnangang Ashram, Uma Bhairavi is head of medical unit of Jnanganj Ashram.
Paramhansa Vishuddhanand Ji Gandhababa is His Holiness Shri Kumarswamiji’s Guru-bandhu (brother-disciple) from his past life. Towards the end of his this life, Shri Kumarswamiji consulted with his Gurudeva and the adepts from Gyanganj Ashram; for his Sadhana (penance and spiritual practices) in this life was not complete and asked them what should be next course of action therefore. The adepts asked Shri Kumarswamiji to build a temple with his own money and place the spiritual power which he had accumulated in his 50-years long penanace. At the mandate of the adepts from Gyanganj Ashram, Shri Kumarswamiji built Divya Devalaya, the Divine Temple in 1995 at Tapovan, Dharwad. The Divine Temple does not have any image or idol or deity. It has 7 mantras written on the wall which holds Shri Swamiji’s spiritual power. The adepts also told Shri Kumarswamiji that they would send one of their adepts (Siddha-purush) from Jnanganj to reside in the Divine Temple. Accordingly Shri Kumarswamiji’s elder Guru-bandhu, Paramhansa Shri Vishuddhanand Ji Gandhbaba has come to stay in the Divine Temple at Dharwad in his subtle body.
The Divine Temple is maintained in strict accordance with the rules laid by the adepts of Jnanganj ashram.
Divya Devalaya (The Divine Temple) has been constructed by Mahatapasvi Shri Kumarswamiji of Tapovan, Dharwad, with the prime intention of making it a residential place for the Great Adepts of Jnanaganja Ashram situated in Sumeru Parvat in the Himalayas. The Adepts are seeking an alternative place and Shri Swamiji has invited them to Tapovan and he has constructed the Divine Temple for them. At present one of the Adepts, Paramahansa Vishuddhanandji Gandhababa has come over to stay here at the invitation of Shri Swamiji and others are expected in due course of time. Shri Paramahansa Vishuddhanandji Gandhababa is the disciple of the Great Adept Swami Neemanandji of Jnanaganja Ashram, who also happens to be the Guru of Mahatapasvi Shri Kumarswamiji since his last birth. Gandhababa attained his adepthood very recently on 11-07-1937 by immortalizing his physical body in front of the large conglomeration of public Calcutta. He then appeared before many of his devotees in his physical body. He is the youngest Adept. Others are ranging from 1500 years to 600 years in age.
Paramhansa Abhayananad Ji from Jnanganj Ashram
The Adepts have got the power of demortalizing their phyisical body and becoming one with the five Tattvas ” Prthvi, Aap, Tejas, Vayu and Akash. The quality of Prthvi (earth) is solidity, the quality of Aap (water) is fluidity, of Tejas (fire) heat, the character of Vayu (air) is space. The Adepts move throughout the world with the speed of light. They can again materialize their physical body from the same five Tattvas and appear before anybody. This is the speciality of the Adepts and therefore they are called ‘Supermen’. They are mediators between God and man. They do the deeds as per the directions of God and they do good and only good. That’s why they are nearer to God.
