2022 - Srimat Swami Pranavanandaji Maharaj | Commemorative Coin

The 4th commemorative coin for the year 2022 was released on occasion of 125th Birth Anniversary of Srimat Swami Pranavanandji Maharaj. A set of three coins ₹100, ₹50, and ₹10 was issued after a considerable period.

Swami Pranavananda, also known as Yugacharya Srimat Swami Pranavananda Ji Maharaj (29 January 1896 – 8 February 1941), stands as a revered Hindu yogi and saint, credited with establishing the Bharat Sevashram Sangha. His legacy is characterized by pioneering efforts to usher the modern Hindu society into a new era while preserving the fundamental values of ancient traditions in Hindu spirituality. Recognized as one of the greatest spiritual leaders in modern India, Swamiji's teachings emphasize universal love, compassion for all humanity, and social reform without compromising his strong nationalist sentiments and love for the motherland.

Born on 29 January 1896, an auspicious day of Maghi Purnima (16th Magha, 1302), in Bajitpur, a village in Faridpur District in undivided India (now in Bangladesh), Swami Pranavananda was the blessed son of Vishnu Charan Bhuia and Saradadevi. Lord Shiva's blessings upon his devout parents were believed to bring forth a son destined for the alleviation of human suffering and universal emancipation. Affectionately named Jaynath at birth, he was later called Binode during his boyhood. Even in his early years, Binode displayed uncommon philosophical inclinations and could often be found deeply contemplating life at the village school. Renowned for his helpful nature, he endeared himself to the children in the locality.

Swami Pranavananda's life story unfolds as a testament to his profound spirituality and commitment to uplifting humanity. His establishment of the Bharat Sevashram Sangha remains a significant milestone in the spiritual and social landscape of India, reflecting his tireless efforts towards a harmonious fusion of ancient wisdom and modern progress.
