Our founder and guide
His Holiness Shri Ashutosh Maharaj Ji
His Holiness Shri Ashutosh Maharaj Ji founded Divya Jyoti Jagrati Sansthan with a simple conviction: the peace people search for outside already lives within, and it can be experienced directly, not just believed in.
Under his guidance, the Sansthan’s mission is “from self-awakening to global peace”: inner transformation first, and from it, service that changes society.
Come as you are

Straight answers
What newcomers ask first
Is this a religion?
No. DJJS doesn’t ask anyone to change or give up their faith. The meditation is offered as an experience you verify for yourself, independent of language, cultural background or blind faith, and people of every faith and of none take part.
Does it cost anything?
No. Initiation into meditation, daily practice and all spiritual programs of the Sansthan are completely free of cost. Donations are optional and go to community meals and humanitarian work.
What is Brahm Gyan?
Brahm Gyan is the name of the meditation DJJS teaches. In English we call it direct inner perception: rather than imagining or reciting, a practitioner is shown how to perceive an inner light and inner sound directly. It is revealed at initiation by a perfect living Master, His Holiness Shri Ashutosh Maharaj Ji, and each seeker then verifies it in their own meditation.
What happens on a first visit?
You’ll be welcomed at the door, leave your shoes at the shoe rack, and join a gathering of talks, music and quiet reflection, usually followed by a free vegetarian meal for everyone. No experience, special clothing or posture is needed, and you’re welcome to just watch.
