MAHANT HARNAMDAS (1880-1949)
Swami Harnamdas
was born on 26th December 1880 in Sukkur in the
house of Seth Aawatmal. His birth name was Narain.
Right in the childhood he was placed at the sacred
feet of Swami Jairamdas, who noticed the spiritual
light in the child, gave him good education and
also gave him the name of Harnamdas.
After Swami Jairamdas, Swami Harnamdas became
the Gadesar and in that capacity he looked after
the Sadhubela at Sukkur. He was perfect example
of simple living, humbleness and humility. He
emphasized on the unity in the community and propagated
against child marriage.
On 14th December
1949, he became 'Brahamleen'. After him Swami
Ganeshdas became the Gadesar. He established Sadhubela
Ashram not only in Mumbai but also in various
other cities of India, where the work initiated
by Swami Harnamdas is being continued.
