All this was to be done whilst upholding the Sanatana Dharma and walking on Gurupadar’s path which said:-

 

” World Is One Family ”

 

Swamiji spent 14 years in the Ashram in extreme penance, strict discipline and selfless service, thus realising the Divine Mother.

He started a revolutionary Divine movement turning the humble Ashrama into an organization of International significance. He did this by:-

 

1. Founding Sree Rama Dasa Mission (S.R.D.M.) in 1970 to propagate Sanatana Dharma :-

The mission has renovated many temples and organised socio-cultural groups to disseminate His message.

 

2. Establishing Kutumba Samitis (Hindu family units) from 1980 onwards.

 

3. In 1981, Swamiji established Sree Rama Dasa Mission Universal Society (S.R.D.M.U.S.) with 3 subdivisions namely:

 

Women’s Wing- Maithili Mahila Mandal , Children’s Wing- Balaprapancham

Youth Wing- Young Men’s Hindu Association.

 

4. Organization of Acharya Sameekshas and Jyotiprayanas since 1978.

 

5. Since 1978, the activities of S.R.D.M. took on the form of a Spiritual resurrection movement.

 

Amongst numerous pioneering achievements, important were:

 

   * Swamiji organised ‘Acharya Sameeksha’ in 1978 which was attended by sannyasins representing 56 different Hindu institutions.

   * As president of the Nilackal Action Committee, Swamiji restored the holy place for Ayyappa devotees and amicably settled the dispute between Hindu and Christian religious groups.

 

   * In April 1983, in response to the desecration by communal miscreants of an ancient and sacred temple at Palukachimala Hill, Swamiji organized a convention of Hindu Sannyasins and subsequently a procession of sannyasins was conducted for the first time in the history of free India, from Palukachimala in north Kerala to Kannyakumari, (the southern-most tip of the Indian mainland) in the form of a “Jyoti-Prayana” . Over 800 meetings were held on the way criticising the iconoclastic tendencies of vested interests. The event kindled the enthusiasm of all sections of the Hindu community. Sannyasins representing 28 Hindu religious organisations accompanied Swamiji in the Jyoti-Prayana !

 

* In 1993, He organized a conference of Hindu spritual leaders from South India to foster unity among various schools and traditions and inspire sannyasins to take up a leading role in the rejuvenation of society.

 

   * The proposed Harivaraasanam project at Sabrimala, of which Swamiji was the progenitor.

 

   * Setting up of PUNNYABHOOMI INTERNATIONAL SANATHANA DAILY (a world Hindu newspaper, combining Daily news and spiritual articles)

 

   * Swamiji setup the Kerala Devaswom Board in an effort to unite the various temple organizations in Kerala.

 

   * Swamiji started the Hindu Aikya Vedi (Hindu Unity Forum), was the First Chairman of the same, and was in the forefront to thwart attempts to subvert the administration of Hindu temples by unscrupulous politicians.

   * He was executive member of Kendriya Marg Darshak Mandal and Rama Janmabhoomi Nyas Manch (organization for reconstruction of Sree Rama Mandir at Ayodhya).

 

6. THE GREATEST ARCHANA IN WORLD HISTORY- 100 CRORE Chants - SHATAKOTI Archana:

In the year 2000, with the urgent need for World peace, Swamiji organized and carried out the unparalleled Shatakoti Archana (1 Billion Chants of Divine Mother’s Name - ‘Lalitha Sahasranaam Archana’), in which thousands of people devotedly chanted and prayed. 501 lamps (deepas) lighted from all of India’s well known temples were transported without being extinguished from all corners of the country, and people chanted whilst seated before these lamps. It was also the first time in India’s history that an entire train was chartered to ferry people from Maharashtra to Kerala to chant the Lord’s name! It also commemorated the centenary of Gurupadar’s birth (23rd December, 1900).
