Aaryam International Foundation, founded by the renowned spiritual master Param Pragya Jagadguru Professor Pushpendra Kumar Aaryam Ji Maharaj, has been honoured with the Excellence in Spiritual Foundation Award 2026 at the House of Lords, British Parliament, London. The award was presented on 28 September during the India UK Leadership Conclave 2026, organised under the aegis of Asia Media Today. Gurudev Shri Aaryam personally travelled to receive the honour in the presence of distinguished members of the British Parliament, mayors and diplomats, including Lord Brennan KC, Lord Rami Ranger, MP Gagan Mohindra, Mayor of Elstree and Borehamwood Cllr Tushar Kumar, and former Mayor of Southwark Sunil Chopra. The Foundation was chosen from across the world for its exceptional contribution to the field of spirituality.
Addressing the gathering, Gurudev dedicated the honour to all the spiritual Sanatani dharma gurus of India and to the more than 2.5 million Aaryam Sanyogis spread across the globe. He said that the journey from the Country of Lords to the House of Lords bears witness to historic change, and that the sun of knowledge and spirituality is now rising in the West as well. He reminded everyone that the path to happiness, peace and prosperity in life leads through the trails of spirituality. The recognition comes just days after the formal inauguration of Bhagwan Shankar Ashram, the London branch of Aaryam International, on 26 September. Foundation Director Maa Yamini Shri and local office bearers Madhav Sharma and Sujata Sharma were present at the ceremony.
