In 2001, the AGNI ( which means fire in Sanskrit ) was formed as a floating structure and it was acting as support arm and youth wing of Sri Sakthi Ashram Malaysia. This group was responsible over minor projects involving the children of Sri Sakthi Ashram.

Only in 2014, Guruji Sakthipriyananda officially formed AGNI as the recognized youth wing under Sri Sakthi Ashram Malaysia reporting directly to Guruji himself. The AGNI group was formed to assist Guruji in his noble task to propagate “Deny Selfishness, Deliver Selflessness” (DSDS) concept to Malaysian Indian youth and same time to eradicate Indian community cancer which is identified as No 1 killer to human values - the selfishness.

In light of the Guruji’s dream to eradicate selfishness in Malaysia Indian community, AGNI was tasked to propagate DSDS and the slogan was re-defines as :

A 	= ALWAYS G 	= GIVE N 	= NEVER I 	= IGNORE

AGNI was set as the catalyst to extinguish selfishness in youth and propagate selflessness via its prime nationwide activity known as DSDS. Selfishness simply means being self-centred and trying to attain objects, recognition , status , power for oneself. Selfish people chiefly concerned with one's own interest, advantage, status and attention especially to the total exclusion of the interests of others. Selfish people always think of their own needs first and this character would be disastrous to our community in many ways. On the other hand, being selfless means to put the needs of others before your own – a form of self sacrifice. Being selfless starts with having the ability to see beyond your personal concerns and empathize with others, even those you've never met.

AGNI’s role was further define to be as follows : •	To Continuously Support Guruji and Management in Ashram’s Activities •	To Constantly Propagate Deny Selfishness / Delivery Selflessness To Indian Youth •	To Be The Role Model Youth For Other Indian Youth In Malaysia

AGNI was also tasked to establish Service Center ( known as Guruji Seva Mandali )  thru out Malaysia with objective to educate youth on 5 basic duties that each youth need to perform and further to propagate service towards marginalized community staying nearby to these seva mandalis.
