Ideals of Pramahansha Srimat Swami Nigamanda Saraswati was to impart service to the poor and needy by treating all as the incarnation of Lord Shiva; in His words “Shiva Gyane Jiva Seva” i.e. “Service to all living beings deeming it as service rendered to the Supreme Being”. He initiated this service to poor and needy (Daridra Narayana Seva) through His desciples in rural areas in different parts of British ruled India. America Saraswata Sangha is committed to His ideals and considers it as responsibility to serve the community through charitable work.

Sadguru Swami Nigamananda Deva had sought to awaken and inspire the people en mass through combined sadhana by directing them to lead an ideal family life and to establish Sangha-shakti. Thereby, he sought to awaken and strengthen a society from within wherefrom would emerge true Sevaks of peoples with humane outlook. We are yet to learn the skills of employing Sangha-shakti or collective-power or team-power in enriching the larger society in our country. SriSriThakura has shown the way to follow with the help of these Bhakta Sammilanis. Learning to utilize the power of 'sangha' or 'team' is another principal objective of the Bhakta Sammilani.
