Nilkanthdham's story is presented here as Sansthan history: the founder who began the Gurukul mission and the Guruvarya who inspired the dham.

A living embodiment of dharma-jivan. Established the Rajkot Gurukul in 1948 as a tapovan where vidya, sadvidya and brahmavidya would walk together.

Born Devjibhai Kaila of Vejalpar — entered Gurukul 1960, took sanyas 1965, and has led the Sansthan since 1974. An ascetic saint who sleeps on the ground, takes no privilege, and guides 250+ monks and millions of devotees across India, UK, USA, Canada and Africa. The inspirer-spirit of Nilkanthdham.
