| Bharat Sevashram Sangha is a
philanthropic and charitable organization with a firm and
enduring commitment to improving the lives of the underprivileged.
This guiding principle of concern for the weak and deprived
citizens has been the force empowering our members to dedicate
their lives to serving humanity.

| Who We Are |
| In 1917, Acharya Swami Pranavanandaji
Maharaj opened the first Bharat Sevashram Ashram in Bangladesh.
He shaped the life and character of young boys after those
of his own and these enthusiastic disciples formed a brotherhood
of self-sacrificing monks. BSS then went on to open Ashram
in Kolkata in 1919. It soon had to be shifted to the present
location due to rapid growth. |
