The first akhada established was the Akhada Mahanirvani. Akhadas represent Sanatana Dharma in their entirety by including all Hindu sects (Shaiva, Vaishnava, Brahma, Shakta), Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists. While the heritage of Mahanirvani Akhada is ten thousand years old, the group was formally named in 748 A.D. after a very auspicious happening. In 748 A.D., a group of seven sadhus of Atal Akhada performed tapas (spiritual penance) at Gangasagar.

They were graced with the darshan (Divine vision) of Sri Kapila Mahamuni. With his blessings, they revived the Naga tradition with an official name - Mahanirvani Akhada - near Neel Dhara in Haridwar. Even today, the chief Deity (Upaasyadev) of the Mahanirvani Akhada is the saint incarnation, Sri Kapila Mahamuni.

Tirujnana Sambandar, the child saint incarnation

On 27ᵗʰ April 2012, H.H. Paramahamsa Nithyananda was coronated as the 293ʳᵈ Guru Maha Sannidhanam, the pontiff of Madurai Aadheenam, the world’s most ancient living Hindu religious organization. Accepting the responsibility as the 293ʳᵈ pontiff of Madurai Aadheenam, H.H. Paramahamsa Nithyananda pledged to bring great fame to Madurai Aadheenam and the four temples belonging to it.

The legendary Madurai Aadheenam has existed since time immemorial. However, it was revived around 1500 years ago by the young enlightened incarnation Tirujnana Sambandar, one of the four visionary saints of South Indian Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy. The Aadheenam is established in Madurai, one of the oldest cities of India with a history dating all the way back to Tamil Sangam period in the 3rd century B.C. The presiding deities of Madurai are Shiva and Devi in their incarnations as Sundareshwara and Meenakshi, enshrined in the world-famous Madurai Meenakshi-Sundareshwara temple.

The pontiff of the Madurai Aadheenam is known by the title ‘Guru Maha Sannidhanam’ and inherits great responsibility in carrying forward the traditions of Tirujnana Sambandar's sacred work. There is no tenure for this position and it is a lifetime honor.
