About Us

Matri Sadan is a spiritual haven founded on the principles of His Holiness Swami Shri Shivananda Saraswati. We are guided by the profound ethos of ‘Atmanam Mokshartha Jagaddhitaya Cha’ — dedicated to the liberation of the self and the betterment of society. Nestled in the sacred landscapes of India, our mission is to uphold the sanctity of nature and combat corruption through the spiritual and non-violent practice of Satyagraha. Join us in our journey towards spiritual awakening and societal transformation.

Matri Sadan came into existence through a clairvoyance to our Gurudeva Swami Shri Shivananda Sarawati Ji Maharaj, in 1994, when he was at Badrinath. Since then, it has been working incessantly with it’s vision and mission.
