The documented direct Guru-Shishya sequence
Dharmasamrat Swami Hariharananda Saraswati Karpatri Ji Maharaj → Swami Sadanand Saraswati Vedanti Swami → Param Pujya Swami Shri Sarveshwaranand Saraswati Ji Maharaj. This is the documented direct Guru-Shishya sequence currently presented by Karpatri Dham.
Dharmasamrat Maharaj Ji and Swami Sadanand Saraswati Vedanti Swami are Brahmaleen. Param Pujya Swami Shri Sarveshwaranand Saraswati Ji Maharaj is the present Peethadhishwar of Karpatri Dham and President of Akhil Bharatiya Dharma Sangh.
02
Swami Sadanand Saraswati Vedanti Swami
Swami Sadanand Saraswati Vedanti Swami is a disciple of Dharmasamrat Maharaj Ji and the Guru of Pujya Swami Shri Sarveshwaranand Saraswati Ji Maharaj. Within the direct parampara, he is the bridge carrying Maharaj Ji’s remembrance, teaching and resolve for seva into the next generation.
The essence of the Guru-Shishya relationship is not the transmission of intellectual knowledge alone, but the handing on of sadhana, maryada and dharmic responsibility through life.
03
The sacred seva of Jagadguru Swami Niranjan Dev Tirth Ji Maharaj
After Dharmasamrat Maharaj Ji’s Mahaprayana, Jagadguru Shankaracharya Puri Peethadhishwar Swami Niranjan Dev Tirth Ji Maharaj performed the sacred seva of jal-samadhi in a stone casket at Kedar Ghat on 9 February 1982.
This remembrance does not assert a direct Guru-Shishya link. It honours the devotional seva offered to Dharmasamrat Maharaj Ji by a revered acharya.

Present Peethadhishwar of the tradition
Param Pujya Swami Shri Sarveshwaranand Saraswati Ji Maharaj is the present spiritual centre of this documented direct Guru-current and the present Peethadhishwar of Karpatri Dham.
