He is known for his humanitarian efforts. He has, for years been promoting Vedic and Puranic knowledge as a means to find spiritual fulfillment.

He has also been associated with several retreat centers in order to create spiritual places for people to immerse into the healing process. He inspires a diverse group of spiritual seekers from all around the world who adore Sri Muktinath (Swami).  

Swami is a spiritual Guru who has been appreciated a lot by people of various faith or religion for his efforts to spread universal spirituality. He is the priest of Muktinath Temple which is a very high position as far as social authority is concerned. Apart of this, due to his charitable contribution in every way to uplift human society and consciousness, he is well known in Nepal. 

Swami’s residence is only  few meters away of the Panch Sri Yoga Retreat. We consider ourselves lucky to be in the purview of his blessings. Half of the retreat’s earnings goes to the charity run by Swami. Hence, by becoming a part of the retreat through your enrolment for any learnings or services here, you also become a contributor to his charitable trust. 

“Swami Kamal Nayan Acharya, the spectacular young Nepali “Sidhi or Yagya Purush” from Muktinath, is also known as “Akhanda Jyoti Baba” since he has accomplished significant Yagyas in his youth. He is a fervent patriot who wishes to alter society from the inside out by his prayers, counsels, and sacrifices. He has held such significant Yagyas throughout Nepal, maintaining Gurukulums, Ved Vidyas-hrams, Medical Service Centers, and, for the first time in Nepal, a Kanya Gurukulum.

He organizes Dhanyachals, Mahasaptas, Vedic Summits, Sant Sammelans, Pancha Laxmi Poojans, and other acts of social and religious value on a regular basis. He was important in the discovery of the Gajendra Moksha Triveni Dham in the area of Nawalparasi. Swami’s desire is to resurrect such major places of devotion that are still unknown in the five religious sectors.
