Administration - Omkarnath Mission

He was extremely busy in taking the Name to every door step throughout the length and breadth of India and was spreading Name in all directions, when he was not undertaking Chaturmasya. During Chaturmasya, from about 15th July to 15th November every year, there used to be a programme of spreading Nam-Samkirtan from one centre. He was also utilising the period of Mouna (or Silence) for writing voluminous literature on the efficacy of Name and other aspects of religion and philosophy. He also undertook a number of organisational activities for the purpose of spreading the Name.

This Sampradaya has many branches all over India, from Uttar Kashi in north to Kanyakumari in south and Puri in east to Dwaraka in west, covering the entire length and breadth of India. The primary purpose of establishing these Ashrams was to spread the message of Nam-Samkirtan to each and every corner of India. As most of his disciples were spread all over India, it would not be possible for all of them to come to Calcutta. Therefore, in order to enable them to have access to Master's message, he established these Ashrams. Worship of deities, reading of scriptures and Nam- Samkirtan formed the part of the daily routine in each Ashram. Besides, at his instance, a large number of religious magazines were introduced, viz. 'Devjan', 'Jai Guru', 'Bharat Nari' in Bengali and 'The Mother' in English,.'Pranab Parijat' in Sanskrit, 'Paramanand' , 'Param Katha' in both English and Hindi and the like. A separate organisation for boys and youths was also set up by him. For women he encouraged participation in Satiin Sati Sangha. Besides, he also established a centre for study of Vedas and its propagation at Calcutta.

The administrative headquarters and the largest Ashram of the Jaiguru Sampradaya is the Mahamilan Math at Calcutta, which works as the nerve centre and looks after the day to day administration of all the activities of the Sampradaya, which include, running of the Ashrams, publishing books of the Master, overseeing all the activities of the educational centres and the publication of magazines etc. It is run by a Board of Trustees, appointed by the Master, who are earnestly and sincerely carrying on to this day the directives of the Master.

Thakur Siatarmdas Omkarnath's Paramguru , ie Dasarathidev's guru [Shri Damodardas Ji] was a Ramanandiya saint. Thus, our Sampraday [Akhil Bharat JaiGuru Sampraday] is a part of Ramananda Sampraday by default. Later, Thakur had sent His representatives to Ramananda Sampraday of Ayodhya for formal incorporation of our Sampraday in the Ramananda sect. The representatives were a bit confused about the scope of acceptance, but when they arrived, they were amazed to receive a warm and cordial welcome-our Sampraday was formally made a part of Ramamndiya sect. However, Thakur used to say-we are of Ramamnada order, but not excluding Ramanujacharya, because Ramanuja's Sampraday is the beginning of Shree Sampraday. To corroborate His stand, Thakur got His selected 8 spiritual sons initiated in the Sanyasa order, at Srirangam, as per Ramanuja doctrines. The eight disciples took sannyas as per Thakur's instruction, took the saffron robe and 'danda' and became Ramanujiya tridandi sannyasis.

The Ramananda sect worships only Lord Ram. Thakur's Istadev was Ram, but still, He liberalised the Diksha Parampara of His sampraday, and gave the Mantras of all Deities, as per the adhikara, background, spiritual inclination of individual devotees. Every Form of Lord is inseparable from Lord Ram, and Thakur's improvisation was to supplement the usual Ramanandiya customs. Even Thakur's guru [Dasarathidev], gave the Mantras of 5 deities, ie- [person in whose body SKY element is more should recieve Vishnu mantra , in the same way for FIRE element Shakti Mantra , for EARTH element Shiva Mantra , for AIR element Surya mantra & for WATER element Ganesh Mantra .]

Thus, the Sampraday of Thakur is a Part of the Shree Sampraday, with the unique ideologies of Thakur incorporated in it. Thakur, being a 'Jagad Guru', has established His own Sampraday, and also has made it a part of one of the four prime Sanatan Sampradays, for maintaining the tradition and lineage. Thakur said that if He attains the Supreme Goal, even His disciples will do so. He also quoted the prayer of Ramanujacharya to affirm the liberation of all those who are related to Shree Sampradaya- Before mortal departure of Ramanujacharya, Lord wanted to offer a boon. Then, Ramanuja said-'loko yah prapyate swamin bhavatah kripaya mayahAsmat sambandha sambandhi charama badhayascha yeSamyag gachhantu twam lokam janaste tabo shasanat'[Oh Lord! By Your grace, the Abode which I will attain, may everyone connected with me and my connections attain the same Abode, in Your divine Reign.]

Thus, all disciples of Sri Sampradaya are destined to attain Vaikuntha. Thus, Thakur has included His Sampradaya in Ramanuja Ramanandiya sect formally, to ascertain that all the disciples of His Sampradaya , with scriptural proof. As such, all those who adore Thakur sincerely are sure to attain the Eternal Kingdom of Lord, but Thakur has kept a scriptural sanction to assure all of us.
