The governance of Self Enquiry Life Fellowship is overseen by ordained Vedic monks who form a Monastic Council. This Monastic Council operates within the Niranjani-Akhara (consortium), which comprises a large conglomerate of discrete monastic councils, and their respective monks, which is headed by an elected Mandaleshwara (head monk convenor).
As the spiritual founder of the United States nonprofit organization, Self Enquiry Life Fellowship, Swami Vidyadhishananda was appointed as the lifelong President and principal advisor on the Nonprofit’s meditation and educational curriculum. He was ratified by the Monastic Council in India as the head monk for conducting meditation services of the Hansavedas Mission.
