Details

In the post-independence period, Maharaj and Adutyananda Swaraswati, followers of the great Swami Nigamananda ideology, preached the traditional religion in the area. Inspired by her words, the childless Swagiya Sukhmoyi Rani of Bishnapur village in Kursh Union donated 36 per cent of the land to build a religious institution.

When Maharaja Adutyananda Swaraswati passed away in the early eighties, Maharaja Achuttanda Swaraswati (his birthplace in Mymensingh district) and his Sukumar Brakshachari (his birthplace at Palashbari in Gaibandha) preached and initiated the traditional religion in this region. According to Bengali 1392, in 1975 they organized a conference in Bishnapur village of Kursha union. At that conference they proposed to set up an ashram according to the ideology of the great man Swami Nigamananda. Later, the donors of Swagiya Sukhmoyi Rani, a traditional religious community of the area, expressed interest in setting up an ashram on the land.

Then in 1984, according to Bengal's 1394, Akshay inaugurated the ashram on a very small scale on the day of Tithi. Later, Swagiya Sukhmoyi Rani's nephew donated 6 per cent, local traditionalist Tarni Mohan 6 per cent, Surin, Upin and Girish donated 12 per cent of the land to the organization and later 26 per cent of the land was purchased from the ashram fund, bringing the total to 7 per cent.

At present this ashram has 1 main entrance stand, 1 Nat Mandir, 10 rooms of permanent Bhakta Nibas, 1 temporary Bhakta Nibas (male), 1 temporary Bhakta Nibas (female), 1 open meeting stage, 1 Kali Mandir / Durga Mandir.

Two (two) times a year a conference of the followers of Swami Nigamananda ideology, the great man of the traditional religion, is held in this ashram. The conferences were attended by local devotees as well as people from different parts of the country and a significant number of foreign devotees.
