Our first Guru, H.H. Shrimat Parijnanashram-I Swamiji was vouchsafed to our community at Gokarn in 1708. He was a priceless gift of God to the community who pined away in prayer and penance at the Feet of Lord Mahabaleshwar, Gokarn for a Guru, a holy preceptor to whom the then-beleaguered community could look up as a friend, philosopher and guide, as a Kindly Light to light up and guide their faltering steps.

Given below is our resplendent Guru Parampara, a galaxy of Sadgurus, those sentinels of spirituality, who brooded over us, the wayward flock that we are, like doting mothers (Guru Mavuli), exhorting us by example and precept, Achara and Vichara, so that we tide over the travails of Samsara (our daily grind of existence laden with sorrow) and attain ever-lasting fulfillment at the Lotus Feet of God.
