The Akhanda Mandali has its origin many years back in 1915 as the result of LOVE of Sree Sree Swami Swarupananda Paramhansa Deva FOR ALL. The mantra in which he initiates his disciples having a significance of unbounded limitlessness is styled by him as the Akhanda Mantra. His disciples are not bound with the names of any gods or goddesses. Hence they are named Akhandas. The main programme of work of the Akhanda Mandali is the performance of Samabeta Upasana or Congregational Prayer, in which men and women of any cast, creed and nationality may participate, though the conventional Hindu tradition has for centuries made ONKAR and GAYATRI forbidden fruits to the fairer sex and the Shudras.
The Akhanda Mandali has more than One Thousand branches in East Bengal (BangIa Desh), West Bengal Tripura, Assam, Bihar, Orissa and, other state with their Head-Quarters at the AYACHAK-ASHRAMA, D 46/19A, Swarupananda Street, Varanasi -10 Uttar Pradesh, India.

To receive the shelter of a bona fide spiritual master is indeed the rarest of all attainments. Therefore if one is somehow fortunate to receive this greatest of all blessings, one should very carefully guard this shelter as his most valuable possession. In this material world there are many envious persons who will try to convince the devotee to give up this shelter. They will sometimes criticise and harass the devotee in many ways trying to break his faith in his spiritual master. When this happens the devotee must within his heart cling very tightly for dear life to the lotus feet of his spiritual master begging for his mercy to help him emerge victorious from this attack of the material nature.
In this regard it should be clearly understood that our greatest enemy is the uncontrolled mind. The uncontrolled mind is much worse of an enemy than even the most antagonistic of critics. It we can keep our minds under control no external influence will be able to shake our faith in guru and God.

n this material world the number one attraction is sex desire. Everywhere fulfillment of sex desire is being promoted as the road to happiness. We are being literally bombarded with the propaganda that satisfaction of sex desire is necessary, most wonderful and most desirable. We find this in popular songs, movies, magazines, bill boards, and conversations. It's all over the internet, in novels, dramas, and fashions. Even in the schools we educate our children how to have sex. The difficulty with sex is that as soon as we consider it to be platform of happiness we are locked into the bodily conception of life, which is the very source of our misery. Therefore those who are wise do not look to sex for their happiness. They look rather to re-establishing their lost loving relationship with the Supreme Person, and thus find true and lasting happiness in His association.
