A Short Biography
Early Years:
Swamiji is a great yogi who has descended from a place called Siddhashrama, a divine abode situated in the
Himalayas, where all the Great Masters of the Universe reside.
He is a disciple
of Paramahansa Swami Nikhileshwarananda, also known as Dr.Narayana dutt
Shrimali, from Jodhpur, and was also mentored by another Divine master known as
Shree Baba Bhootnathji of Lucknow.
Swamiji,
known as Ranjeet Chaube in his earlier days is an engineer by educational
qualifications. He graduated from the prestigious Benares Hindu University of India.
After his graduation, he worked in the Top Corporates of the seventies and
later on established his own Textile Business.
During this period,
He came across Baba Bhoothnathji of Lucknow, whose extraordinary divine powers
immediately aroused the spiritual fervor in Swamiji and he earnestly set on his
path of Sadhana – Meditations on the
Divine Mother. Baba Bhoothnathji trained him in Tantra and Mantra. He also
taught him the secrets of the Supernatural and Paranormal Phenomena existing in
the spiritual worlds. He trained him in using these powers to help himself and
all other disciples who, in the future, would come to Swamiji for guidance.
Baba
Bhoothnathji instructed Swamiji to settle in Mumbai and lead a well-balanced
life of a householder, businessman & a spiritual Yogi. This instruction was
given to Swamiji because Babaji very well knew that Swamiji will be guiding
disciples, who would primarily be, householders struggling with daily problems
of money matters, family, kids, health, career, education etc. All of these
problems would have to be completely resolved before these disciples could be
set on the Path of Sadhana. Swamiji
has been successfully doing this for many years.
Middle Years:
Swamiji came
to Mumbai and was leading his life as per the instructions of Babaji – “A
householder in daytime & a Yogi by the night.” A decade nearly passed,
leading life in this manner. During this time, Swamiji trained himself in Kriya
Yoga under the directions of direct disciples of Lahiri Mahasaya and also Self Realization
Fellowship. He also received training from the prestigious Paramahansa Ramakrishna
Monastery.
By now, the
stars aligned in such a way that Swamiji was pulled to the next stage of His spiritual
quest. In the year 1987, a friend took him to a Spiritual Camp organized by a well
known Tantrik Yogi, Astrologer and Philosopher of that time. This Great
Personality was none other than Dr. Narayana dutt Shrimali, also known as
Paramahansa Nikhileswaranada.
During that
camp, the knowledge of Paramahansa Nikhileswaranada mesmerized Swamiji. The
connection was established between the Guru and the Disciple. Yet, the disciple
didn’t realize it at that instant. The bond between them became stronger and
stronger with every meeting and at each meeting all the doubts of Swamiji would
get cleared off. Swamiji spend many years under the guidance of his Guru
practicing various sadhanas. At the
pinnacle of his spiritual quest, his Guru blessed Swamiji and as a result Swamiji
had the rare opportunity of seeing various Deities and receive their blessings.
Swamiji can commune with all these deities anytime and with their guidance Swamiji
guides and helps all his disciples.
Swamiji got
deeply involved with his Guru’s work and labored hard to spread his teachings,
which he is actively doing till today. Swamiji organized many Fire Sacrifices
known as Yagnas, Spiritual Retreats
and discourses everywhere. He also wrote many books, obeying the directions
from his Master. Few years ago, before leaving this planet, his Guru summoned Swamiji
and initiated him into the Monastic order and gave him the new name “Swami
Divya Chetna” – literally meaning “Master of Divine Consciousness.”
His Guru
instructed Swamiji about his duties in the future. A message from his Guru is
given here for the benefit of the devotees
Message of Paramahansa Nikhileshwarananda to Swami Divya Chetnananda:
(This message was given by
Param Guru Paramahansa Swami Nikhileshwarananda to our beloved Master Swami
Divya Chetnananda on the auspicious occasion of 1008 Yagna Camp organized by him
in Mumbai in the year 1992.This is the year when he received his initiation and
got the name Swami Divya Chetanananda)
“In the midst of deepest
darkness of ignorance, let My disciples shine like the brilliant sun and
penetrate this darkness by spreading the brilliant rays of spirituality, by the
means of performing yagnas and sadhanas, thereby providing complete fulfillment
to themselves and to the world. I have this vision and I bless you on this
auspicious occasion.
Let my disciples provide a rock
solid foundation & guidance to the society.
Let my disciples revolutionize
the world with weapons of Tantra.
Let them become the beacon of
light for the world.
Basking in the threefold (triveni)
river of Love, Surrender and Faith, being connected with the Great Prana Energy
of the Guru and absorbing the Knowledge of the Guru, O My Disciples, You can
bring this vision come alive.
Such a disciple alone can liberate himself and everyone in
this world.”
Later Years till Present Era:

90's Shree Divya Chetnananda started his organization called ' Divya Chetna
Kendra' (Divine Consciousness Center). The Mission’s goal is to spread various
