"When Jagatjanani Maa Tripurasundari blessed me with her divine vision, I ran and prostrated at her feet."
– these words are written in the handwritten diary of an 18 year-old youth, which he started writing at the tender age of 12.
After reading this, curiosity must have arisen in your mind that in this materialistic era, who can be such a young man who has blessed
with the divine vision of Divine Mother?
The name of this highly revered young man is Nandkishore Sharda.
Shri Nandkishore Sharda , who was affectionately called 'Bhaiya ji' by all, was born on July 16, 1944, in Jodhpur, in the affluent and devotional family of Smt. Tulsi Devi and Shri Vijaykishan Ji Sharda. Shri Sharda was a brilliant student of science. He possessed extraordinary intellect and a charismatic personality.
Shri Nandkishore Sharda, young and full of innocence, was struck by the sudden demise of his father.
The loss was not just personal — it opened his eyes to the profound truth of life’s impermanence.
For the first time, he realized that this physical body, so cherished and cared for, is fragile and mortal.
From that moment onward, his heart turned away from the fleeting attractions of the material world. A burning quest arose within him—
an unshakable determination to seek the cosmic power that breathes life into the body.
What is that eternal force?
How does it govern us?
What is the true purpose of human existence?
How should one walk this path of life?
Thus began his extraordinary spiritual journey—one that would not only define his own destiny but also illuminate the path for countless others.
He went to many sadhus, ‘tantriks’, saints and mahatmas in search of his quest. He also read various spiritual and religious books but could not get any satisfactory answer anywhere.
Once, when he was strolling in the valleys near the fort of Jodhpur, he saw a temple of the Divine Mother 'Maa Tripurasundari' on the top of a hillock (Tekri). When he climbed and entered the temple, he felt great peace and tranquility. He then completely surrendered and devoted himself to the Divine Mother and solemnly worshiped her day and night with full dedication.
The Divine Mother could not keep herself away from this simple, innocent child and blessed him with her divine vision. The Divine Mother bestowed many divine powers upon her beloved son which were later used by him for the welfare of the masses.
Bhaiya ji himself performed very austere penance (sadhna) but showed us the simple path. If we perform ‘sadhna’ with devotion, faith, love and dedication, then Bhaiya ji would unite us also with the Divine Mother.
Bhaiya ji performed divine ‘sadhna’ of highest order under the guidance and supervision of the Divine Mother herself. The divine ambrosial knowledge that he received from the Divine Mother has been presented in the divine book authored by him, “Wonderful World After Death”.
Starting with science and then going beyond its realm, he has explained the origin and formation of the universe,
the divine powers and their abodes, the importance of divine powers, the ultimate goal of human life, etc. in this book.
Reading this book builds unshakeable trust and faith in the Almighty and divinity.
The personality, works and accomplishments of Bhaiya ji are described in detail in the book “Maa Tripurasundari Ke Laadle Chakradhari Yuga Pravartak Adhyatmayogi Shri Nandkishore Sharda”. This book also includes a few pages of his handwritten diary which deeply reflects his devotion towards the Divine Mother, his philosophical thoughts, and the divine knowledge and experiences gained through the Divine Mother.
Through the 'Swami Vivekanand Students' Welfare Charitable Trust' established in 1996 for girls education, he illuminated the lives of thousands of girls and inculcated high moral values in them, thus giving them a ray of hope and paving the path for their bright future. This was a perfect example of selfless service (Nishkaam Karma) set by him.
On January 24, 2003, on Vivekananda Jayanti, he left this mortal world for the divine abode. While living in the world, he remained untouched by all worldly vices and dedicated himself incessantly towards selfless work and presented a perfect example of ‘Sthit Pragya’ life- the perfect sage. The “Manidweep Ka Adhyatma Purush- Shri Nandkishore Sharda” , a memoir on his personality and accomplishments, comprises articles of more than 350 eminent persons from all walks of life, expressing their intimate thoughts and paying their homage and tribute to him.
His high thoughts and values, his great deeds, his perception of transcendental knowledge and his spiritual experiences are now illuminating
the path of masses.
Thousands of people consider him as their inspiration and are progressing materialistically as well as spiritually
by applying his thoughts and principles.
All this has been possible because of the Divine Mother’s blessings and grace on him.
The government also recognized his noble deeds. To honour him and inspire generations, three roads have been named after him across Rajasthan:
2012
5th to 12th Pal Road, Sardarpura, Jodhpur
2013
Balotra
2022
Jasol, Balotra District
Through his utmost dedication, sincerity, truthfulness, renunciation and single mindedness, Shri Nandkishore ji Sharda mastered all the
four extremely difficult sadhnas
– Bhakti Yoga, Gyan Yoga, Nishkam Karma Yoga and Yoga Sadhana.
However, he realized that all
these sadhnas are very difficult to be implemented by the common masses in today's era.
Therefore, for the welfare of the masses, he simplified and combined these four sadhnas and propounded a simple,contemporary, yet very effective technique, called 'Buddhi-Vivek Yoga Sadhana' for material and spiritual progress and attaining real happiness, peace and bliss. Bhaiyaji's contribution to mankind is extraordinary in itself and unmatched in this era. As per the needs of the present era, he gave new ideology, new technique, new divine knowledge in the field of physical (materialism), social and spiritual. Consequently, a team of such people is getting prepared who are determined and dedicated to restore human qualities.
He awakened a new consciousness in this era and gave life to the spirit of universal brotherhood and world peace. He led mankind from darkness
to light and always lived up to the aspirations and expectations of the masses.
Mother Earth is blessed to have had such a son.
