The Acharyas who have adorned the Peetam of this ashram have been charismatic mentors, who by setting themselves as examples, rendered yeomen service, transcending the mundane limit of time and space. The Ashram has branches all over India and austere disciples both in India and abroad. Apart from the spiritual sphere, the ashram has established several charitable institutions to cater to the welfare of the poor and the needy.
