Advait Mat
Cluster of panths in northern India
Advait Mat or Paramhans Advait Mat is a cluster of panths (groups of disciples) in northern India. It was founded by Shri Swami Advaitanand Ji Maharaj (1846-1919) who is also known as Paramhans Dyal Ji Maharaj. He declared Swami Swarupanand Ji Maharaj (also known as Shri Nangli Niwasi Bhagwan Ji) as his spiritual successor. Swami Swarupanand Ji Maharaj founded more than 300 ashrams with the purpose of disseminating his master's teachings. Swami Swarupanand Ji Maharaj had initiated more than thousand of his disciples into the sanyas. Many of his disciples went on to establish spiritual institutions to spread the same knowledge.
The ashrams founded by Shri Paramahans Dyal Ji were called Krishna Dwaras. The ashrams with the name Adwait-Swarup Ashram, Paramhans Satyarthi Dham, Shri Anandpur Satsang Ashram, Brahm Vidyalay and Ashram are also related to him and Shri Paramhans Advait Mat.
Reportedly, they perceive themselves to be from Paramhans of Kedarghat kashi
