At the Ardh Kumbh Mela, Allahabad this Jan 2007, the Mahanirvani akkaada invited Paramahamsa and honoured him to be Mahamandaleshwar. Paramahamsa accepted it and the Nirvani Peetadhipathi Acharya Mahamandaleshwar Sri Swami requesting him, Vishwadevanandaji immediately declared Paramahamsa as Mahamandaleshwar from that moment on. All the Mahamandaleshwars present noted that such an honor was previously offered only to Swami Vivekananda.

The Maha Nirvani akkaada declares Paramahamsa Nithyananda as their Mahamandaleshwar. Early morning on the 23rd, on Vasant Panchami day, Paramahamsa travels in the chariot offered to him by head of the Mahanirvani akkaada, thereby leading the entire procession to the Royal Bath
