The currency in which this one-of-its-kind Bank deals in is only the Ramnaam and also the other chants given in the book. One can become a member of this Bank by simply submitting a completely written Ramnaam or Anjanamata book. Every Shraddhavan gets a passbook after becoming a member.

Sadguru Aniruddha says that whenever a Shraddhavan is in need of help or firm support during the difficult phases of his or her life, the Sadgurutattva or the Paramtattva will provide him all the necessary help through this ‘bank of Bhakti’. The interest provided to every individual will be in the form of Bhakti, which will be in proportion to the faith, love and affection he or she has for their Sadgurutattva.

The accounting year of the Bank is from ‘Aniruddha Pournima’ (full moon day of the Hindu month of Kartik) to ‘Aniruddha Pournima’. All the ‘Sadguru Shree Aniruddha Upasana centres’ are the branches of this Bank. With the Bank being universal, a Shraddhavan can submit a Ramnaam book in any of the centre branches.

Everyone must write and complete their book by themselves. The first page of the Ramnaam book (the ‘Arpan Patrika’) contains the name of the person who has written the book, his account number and the name of the person for whom the book is written. All such ‘Arpan Patrikas,’ i.e. the first pages of the books that the Shraddhavans submit are collected and worshipped on the full moon day or the eleventh day (Ekadashi) of the Hindu calendar months.

On submitting a minimum of 18 books in a year, a Shraddhavan gains annual membership of the Bank. On submitting 150 books in a period of 5 years starting from the date of the opening of the account, a Shraddhavan gets life membership of the bank. Also, Shraddhavans get numerous other benefits on the submission of a particular number of Ramnaam books. Idols of Shree Ganesh and also the ‘Sacchidananda Paduka’ are made from the pulp of these books submitted by Shraddhavans. Thus, apart from the pious medium of ‘Bhakti’ (worship), ‘Aniruddha’s Universal Bank of Ramnaam’ also contributes significantly to the protection of the environment in real life.
