Received the sacred thread (Yajnopavita) and since then he has continuously fought for our beloved Sanatana Dharma. He has inducted more than 15,000 people into our tradition through the Upanayana rite of passage throughout the world, Europe and South America, as well as India, where his main ashram and residence is at Muni Ki Reti, Rishikesh. Swamiji maintains the tradition and teaching, as did Venerable Sri Swami Sivananda. He was born in Spain, but was exposed to Indian thinking since his first visit to India in 1976 at the hands of his revered Gurudev Shri Swami Tilak Paramahamsa.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8101\" src=\"https:\/\/nationalvani.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG-20240325-WA0004.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nationalvani.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG-20240325-WA0004.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nationalvani.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG-20240325-WA0004-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>These Disciples of Guru Ji were present the occasion.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">1.
