Akhil Bharatiya Akhada Parishad is the apex organisation of the 14 akhadas of Hindu Sants (saints) and Sādhus (ascetics) representing the largest followership in India. These are entitled to the special privilege of the Shahi Snan (Royal Bath in the confluence of sacred rivers) at Kumbh Mela and Ujjain Simhastha mela in a pre-determined sequence. The Adhyakṣa (President) of Akhil Bhartiya Akhada Parishad (All India Akhada council), Hon. Sri 108 Mahant Swami Narendra Giriji, irrefutably recognized the divinity, the royal king lineage and the rare spiritual austerities in His Divine Holiness.

In his personal statement, Hon. President, Sri 108 Mahant Swami Narendra Giriji, who leads 14 Apex Bodies of Hinduism (Akhāḍās) with 1.2 M monks, declared,

“Today, I consider myself very fortunate as I am connected to Swamiji. In front of you, seeing the austerity, penance and strength of honorable Nithyananda Swamiji, I felt that, in reality, I have come in the presence of a Divya Puruṣa (divine being).”
