About Us
Nilachala Saraswat Sangha (NSS), Puri was founded on 24th August 1934 at Nilachala Kutir—devotees gather for satsang and inner transformation.
“I wish to awaken my dispirited people through Dharma, to manifest in them the ideals of Self-Knowledge.” — Swami Nigamananda
NSS, Puri was established by Swami Nigamananda Paramahans Dev for household devotees to follow disciplined spiritual practice and live a clean, principled life. The Sangha emphasizes satsang, devotion, service, and value-based living—so devotees grow first as ideal human beings, and then serve society with humility.
Founder & Teachings
Gyana and Prema: spiritual knowledge and devotion in harmony.
I wish to awaken my dispirited people through Dharma;
This is the ideal of our Sangha.
I exist for eternity and will exist so forever.
And, I shall keep guiding you even after I leave this body, exactly, as I'm guiding you at present.
Swami Nigamananda Paramahansa
His quest embraced Tantra, Gyana, Yoga and Prema/Bhav. He attained Nirvikalpa Samadhi after yoga sadhana; Gauri Ma later guided Him in Prema. His ideal blends knowledge and devotion: "Shankarer Mata" and "Gouranger Patha".
