Current Leader of Mahanirvani Peetha
His Divine Holiness Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam
Recognized in 2007 as the successor spiritual leader of the Mahānirvaṇi Akhāḍā, HDH Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam was declared and coronated by the official leadership of the Sri Panchayati Akhada Mahanirvani as the “1008th Mahāmanḍaleśvar”.
Through a process of democratic selection amongst the 43 Mahāmanḍaleśvars of all the 14 Akhāḍās, He was unanimously elected as the 1008th Mahāmanḍaleśvar of Sri Panchayati Akhada Mahanirvani (Spiritual Kingdom). This was a monumental rare honor in the history of all 14 Akhāḍās of the Indian Kingdom, having one of the youngest spiritual leaders to receive the title and responsibility thereof, as the Mahāmanḍaleśvar for the Kailaasa Paramparagatha Mahanirvani Peetha Sarvajnapeetham. And with that started the revival of Kailaasa during the period of His Divine Holiness through the Mahanirvani Peetha.

His Divine Holiness is felicitated inside the Mahānirvaṇi Akhāḍā premises at the Kumbh Ghat upon return from the Royal Bath.
As a mark of spiritual successorship to the divine kingdom of India, the Akhāḍās gifted HDH Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam with sacred properties of high spiritual heritage.
Shooltankeshwar, near Varanasi is an ancient sacred place where Lord Paramaśiva impressed and installed His divine trident called ‘shoola’ into the earth. Hindu scriptures reveal that the ancient Varanasi city rests of the divine ‘shoola’ (the trident) of Lord Paramaśiva, and thus is indestructible and eternal city of the Lord.
Manikarnika Ghat, Varanasi property was gifted to the previous ruling Atal Akhada Ācārya Peethadheeshwar, Hon. late Sri Sukhdevanandji, who in turn gifted it to the current Ācārya HDH Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam. Manikarnika Ghat is the ultimate space where death becomes liberation and celebration, where the fire at the burning ghats has been lit from ancient times.
