The title of Mahamandaleshwar was bestowed on Swami Jasraj Puri, the Australian disciple of Vishwa Guru Mahamandaleshwar Paramhans Swami Maheshwaranand Puriji Maharaj, founder of Yoga in Daily Life. The title is one of the highest spiritual honours that can be bestowed upon a Swami and it is the first time that the title has been awarded by the Indian Mahanirvani Akhara to a foreigner. For the past 15 years, Sydney-born and educated Swami Jasraj Puri has resided in India, managing a charitable school and the humantiarian projects of OM Vishwa Deep Gurukul Swami Maheshwarananda Ashram Education & Research Centre.
