Circumstances leading to the establishment of Nirban Math in Deoghar:

(from Brief Life Story and Teachings of BrahmaMoyee Ma)

 

Nirban Math in Deoghar was established by Shri Phani Bhusan Chattopadhyay in 1935 through a deed of land as a result of a dream wherein the Mother (Brahmajna Ma) requested him to establish a safe place for her devotees. 

 

As it transpired, Shri Chattopadhyay (MABL, prior Principal of the Government Law College), had rented and had started living in the same house (in Wellington Town, Deoghar) where Mother had departed from her body, without prior knowledge of its special significance. 

 

Shri Chattopadhyay was a generous and highly religious person. his wife had died a year after their marriage, and he had remained single thereafter.  He used to spend his life in the company of pious people, religious discussions and reading of scriptures. One day he was dozing after lunch when he saw an exquisite young girl standing before him saying, "the ascetics are wondering around here and there, why don't you arrange some accommodation for them?".  When he woke up, he started to wonder about what he had just seen in the dream.  Next day, while resting after lunch, he again saw the vision of a woman, clad in white and radiant with a divine glow, telling him, "arrange some living accommodation for my sons.  you have both the virtuous intent and means."  

 

When this went on for the next few days, Shri Chattopadhyay, intrigued by the dream, started to inquire of the circumstances of the house and soon learnt of its special significance, that a great saint who had attained knowledge of the Brahma, had lived in the same house and attained final Samadhi there.  He was shown a picture of Mother, immediately recognizing the picture as the face in his dreams.  He started searching and was eventually able to locate the disciples of the Divine Mother, who were living elsewhere in Baidyanathdham, Deoghar.

 

He immediately set about to find a suitable place for worship and housing for the devotees.  Within a few months the purchase of the land for the Math and construction of the buildings and a temple were accomplished.  The temple was named Nirban Math. 

 

This is what led to the establishment of Nirban Math on a piece of land near Dharwa River in Deoghar.

 

The circumstances leading to the establishment of the Trust is related below from the Deed document:
