Established in 2002 by the esteemed H.H. Param Pujya Swami Sri Dayananda Saraswati, the Hindu Dharma Acharya Sabha (HDAS) serves as the apex body of Hindu Dharma, providing unparalleled leadership and dedicated service to society.

This Sabha is a distinguished assembly of the heads of various ancient traditions, known as Acharyas, who represent a wide spectrum of Sampradayas (spiritual traditions) that have been integral to Hinduism for centuries.

The Sabha proudly consists of over 150 esteemed members, including leaders from the Shankaracharya, Ramanujacharya, Madhvacharya, Nimbarkacharya, Vallabhacharya, and Swaminarayana traditions, among others. These leaders are drawn from historic lineages spanning all corners of India, ensuring that the HDAS truly reflects the diverse and rich tapestry of Hindu spiritual heritage. 

Unity in Diversity: Bharat’s Rich Ancient Wisdom

The HDAS stands as a testament to the unity in diversity within Hinduism, bringing together learned Acharyas from a variety of Sampradayas. This includes the Akhadas of the North (Nirvani, Digambara, Juna, and Sena), the Adheenams of Tamil Nadu, the Lingayats of Karnataka, the Satradhikaris of the Northeast, and the Warkaris and Kabir Panthis of Central India. Despite their varied backgrounds, each Acharya contributes to the collective mission of the Sabha: to uphold and disseminate the timeless wisdom of Hindu scriptures and to guide the community toward a harmonious and prosperous future.

A Respected Voice for Dharma: Leading with Vision and Integrity 

Pujya Swamiji envisioned the Acharya Sabha as a respected voice for Hindu Dharma, advocating its principles and ensuring its representation in societal and governmental discussions. The HDAS is committed to preserving and promoting Hindu values, with the aim of being consulted on matters affecting Dharma at the highest levels. Through its leadership, knowledge, and unwavering commitment, the HDAS aspires to be a beacon of strength, pride, and respect for the Hindu community, embodying the resilience and richness of Hinduism’s cultural fabric.
