Sri Kathia Baba Charitable Trust - Vrindavan

We are a Non-profit organisation founded by His holiness Sadgurudev Swami Rash Bihari Das Kathia Baba Maharaj to promote, propagate and proliferate the crux of Sanatan Hindu Dharma in the form of Nimbarka philosophy. Nimbarka Philosophy in simple words is rooted in Anadi Vedic Sanatan Vaishnaviya Seva Dharma that roughly translates to The Eternal Vedic Vaishnava Doctrine of Selfless Service.

His Holiness, is a spiritual preceptor and leader representing the spiritual lineage of Acharya Nimbarka Bhagwan’s Swabhuram Dwara, head quartered at Kathia Baba ka Sthaan, Vrindaban. Sri Guru Maharaj practices and propagates the practical aspects of Nimbarka Philosophy of self-surrender to the Lotus feet of Supreme Lord and selfless service to mankind as an essential part of the Supreme being. He has been working relentlessly since past four decades towards practical implementation of the Nimbarkian Vedic Wisdom for the spiritual upliftment of the mankind along with sustainable socio-economic development of the underprivileged section of the society through his humanitarian work.

The key activities of the trust are in the direction of guiding people to realise the fact that ceaseless happiness is our very essential nature. Omnipotent God-the only cause and sole source of this happiness and bliss, is all pervading and is present within us and also in every being and thing around us. When an individual, by the grace of a Sadguru discovers this timeless bliss inside himself, his limited view about himself and the world expands to embrace the whole creation as His own essential self. That individual realises that the God in him is the God in all. Love, compassion and selfless service towards all blossoms in a Self-realised being effortlessly. Such an inner transformation brings in peace, tranquility, contentment, dispassion and unparalleled wisdom in an individual which emanates a positive vibe all around.

So, Sri Guru Maharaj strongly believes that Universal Peace, Harmony and Brotherhood amidst cultural-religious-social diversity is possible only through God-revelation by treading the path as shown by the Self realised Gurus. Attainment of this truth in today’s materialistic world is as much possible and practicable as it was in the vedic ages and can be attained by simple but sustained practices under the able guidance of a Sadguru.

To serve the basic needs of living-form of God, the primary service-oriented activity of the Trust includes Annadan, Vastradaan, Nara-narayan seva, Atithi seva, Vidyarthi seva, Gauseva etc.

However, our scriptures proclaim that no “selfless giving” is bigger than rendering Atma-Gyan, that is the Absolute knowledge. As, with the illumination of self-knowledge (as already mentioned), an individual transcends all earthly sufferings and unleashes a kingdom of endless joy within and without. So, to fulfil the transcendental vision of Sri Gurudev, KBCT has established many Ashrams and preaching centres in various parts of India. The trust also publishes books, magazines on Nimbarka literature, organises spiritual retreats all through the year in the form of Srimad Bhagwat Bhakti Gyan Yagnya, Gopal Yagnya, Sanatan Dharma Sanmelan etc . It sets up camps for fooding and lodging of devotees and renunciates during Kumbh mela, Gangasagar Mela and conducts the Braja’s oldest 84 Kos parikrama with thousands of participating sadhu-sants and devotees. These activities of the trust under the guidance of His holiness, encourages and inspires all- householders, renunciate and devotees to look beyond the comforts and discomfort of materialistic life and seek perpetual happiness that lies undiscovered within.
