Poojya Shri Mota was a spiritual leader who established ashrams in Nadiad and Surat, Gujarat, India. He did not limit his worship to any single deity in a traditional human form or to a specific sectarian concept of God. Instead, he perceived God as an all-pervading universal consciousness and as the divine energy present in every particle and living being.

Revered Shri Mota’s Concept of Chanting ‘Hari Om’
Instead of worshipping images or idols, Revered Shri Mota emphasized the practice of Nama-smaran (remembrance of the Divine Name) using the universal mantra "Hari Om." He stressed the importance of chanting the mantra continuously with every breath and aligning the rhythm of the heart and mind with the Divine. He taught that this practice requires no complex rituals, making it accessible to anyone, regardless of caste, creed, or religion.

The revered Shri Mota established two main ashrams in Gujarat—near Nadiad and Surat—where these 'Maun Mandirs' (Temples of Silence) remain actively operational for spiritual seekers to this day.
