Sri Sri Sitaramdas Omkarnath (17 February 1892 – 6 December 1982) was an Indian saint and a spiritual master from Bengal.[4] Addressed as Sri Sri Thakur Sitaramdas Omkarnath, where "Omkar" signifies the cosmic enlightenment and attaining supreme consciousness, he was known as the Divine Incarnate (Avatar) of Kali Yuga and took up the doctrines of Sanatana Dharma and Vedic spiritual path to devotees from across the world.
The central theme on the beneficence of divine chanting Naam of "Hare Krishna Hare Ram", regarded as the "Tarak Brahma Naam" (the chant of soul deliverance) in Kali Yuga and liberation from cycle of birth and death.
As such, his disciples continue to worship him as an incarnation of the Lord himself and is regarded as a source of spiritual enlightenment and soul succour to seekers.[5] because his life had been predicted in a manuscript of Achyutananda Dasa.
Sitaramdas Omkarnath wrote more than 150 books to promote the essence of Indian scriptures, built more than 60 temples and ashrams all across India, and founded his spiritual organisation Akhil Bharat Jaiguru Sampradaya,[6] established many groups, temples, mutts, both within and outside the Sampradaya and was also the initiator of multiple magazines like Pather Alo, Devjan, JaiGuru, Arya Nari, Paramananda, and The Mother.
