Magnificent personality and Unique work

Yug-Rishi: The altruistic Rishi tradition has always remained the greatest uniqueness of India. His autobiography - 'My Life Its Legacy and Message', touches the heart of the masses. He perceived himself as an integral part of Rishis and their selfless missions, and truly lived up to these. He also revived the Rishi traditions. Vedmurti: Acharya Shriram Sharma simplified the eternal truths, in keeping with the need of modern times, making them easily comprehensible by the masses. He authored more than 3000 volumes of high quality literature including Super Science of Gayatri, Scientific Spirituality, The Noble Art of Living and so on, which imparts solutions to the dire and challenging problems being faced by humanity. Taponishtha: He performed rigorous spiritual austerity and acquired immense spiritual power, which was used by him to pull out innumerable people from suffering and ruin. He set off such favorable divine currents in the subtle world that made Gayatri Sadhana and practice of Yagya extremely easy and accessible to the masses this also facilitated the development of necessary resources for bringing about a change in the era that promises bright future to all. Acharya: Acharya Shriram Sharma has always been 'Acharya' in real sense. He followed the path of spiritual science in his own life and proved its authenticity. His words in action have been the charm in restoring the dwindling faith of the masses. Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya: He lived such an exemplary life of family gentleman, which gives us a glimpse of a Brahmin way of life and the great deeds of Rishis. In his childhood, he served an untouchable sect of humanity, in spite of the risk of being banished from his family. In early youth, he ran away from home to join India's freedom movement and worked as a very passionate volunteer, for which he was named as Shriram Matt (Matt: one who is always excited, enthused and full of energy). He fulfilled all his family responsibilities, even though he was always free from worldly attachments.
