By Acharyasri Sachidananda Bharathi –
The term ‘Tyagarchana’ is conceived and developed by me to represent the sadhana and ideology of the Kingdom of God initiated on earth by my Lord and Divine Master Sadguru Jesus Christ.
‘Tyagarchana‘ implies sacrificing something willingly and consciously for the glory of God and good of humanity inspired by the living Spirit of Christ and using the time, energy or money thus saved for the good of one’s needy or sick fellow human beings with love. Eg. Giving up watching one’s favourite TV show and spending that time with a sick or lonely neighbour with love, doing physical labour to help a needy or sick fellow human being with love, using a part of one’s income to serve the needy and sick fellow human beings with love…etc.
Love, sacrifice and service are the three constituent elements of Tyagarchana. When Tyagarchana is practised in one’s personal life, it becomes a Christian sadhana for self-sanctification. When it is applied collectively, it becomes an ideology for non-violent social transformation.
I have been practising and experimenting with Tyagarchana since 1982 after my encounter with death in an air accident and the subsequent encounter with the living Spirit of Christ in the Air Force Hospial (I was a serving Air Force Officer at that time).
I have been initiating/promoting a number of organizations, institutions, ashrams and missions with the Tyagarchana of my time, energy and money ever since 1982. Now I have reached a level of 100% of my time, energy and money as Tyagarchana for the Kingdom of God in India.
My fifth Ashram (Deiva Kripa Ashram, Alappuzha) initiated on 1st April 2023 and my 23rd book ‘The Kingdom of God in India’ released on 02 October 2024 at Indian Social Institute, Bangalore, mark this stage of total self-surrender in my life.
With advance in Tyagarchana, my life has also been advancing and expanding in its vision and mission.
The Greater India Movement initiated on 10 September 2023 and its Kerala pilot project termed ‘Tyagarchana Chaitanya Kerala Mahayajnam’ initiated on 02 November 2024 (All Souls Day) are initiatives coming from the 100 % Tyagarchana of my time, energy and money for the Kingdom of God in India.
Now I am waiting for my Divine Master and Lord to bring more men and women who are called for 100% Tyagarchana of their time, energy and money for the kingdom of God in India. They will together constitute an ecumenical communion of visionary-missionaries termed ‘Disciples of Christ for Peace’ (DCP) as outlined in Part-IV of my book ‘The Kingdom of God in India’.
The final stage of my vision and mission is to establish a Viswa Shanti Peetam’ (Global Peace Center) to implement the ‘ ‘Commitment to Global Peace’ signed by the religious and spiritual leaders of the world in the ‘Millennium World Peace Summit of Religious & Spiritual Leaders’ held at the United Nation on 29-31 August 2000, in which I was a delegate from India.

Simplicity, honesty and hard work are the pre-requisites for any kind of sacrificial live and service. From Moses to David and the apostles, most were called when they were at work. Only then,from karmayogis can we become dharamyogis.
