About Us

America Saraswata Sangha (AMSAS) is a registered non-profit religious organization based in North Carolina, USA. It is dedicated to the spiritual upliftment of its members through the teachings of Paramahansa Shrimat Swami Nigamananda Saraswati Dev.

Our Origin

AMSAS began as America Saraswata Pathachakra on August 4, 2001, the sacred birthday of Shri Shri Thakur Maharaj, with participation from seven families across the United States. In September 2003, with the approval of Shri Shyam Sunder Dash (President and Parichalak of Nilachala Saraswata Sangha), the Pathachakra was formally recognized as America Saraswata Sangha. The first official session was held on January 7, 2004.

Our Structure

AMSAS follows a formally registered bylaw that defines leadership and organizational roles. A governing body meets monthly to oversee operations and ensure the Sangha functions smoothly.

AMSAS is a branch of the Nilachala Saraswata Sangha (NSS), headquartered at: Shri Shri Nigamananda Smruti Mandir, Swargadwara, Puri, Odisha, India. The Administrative Office is Satsikshya Mandir, A/4, Unit-9, Bhubaneswar-751022, Odisha, India
