Sri Gouranga Anath Niketan was founded there on 26th Agrahayana 1318 B.S. The noble purpose behind it is to serve the distressed, the grieved, the sick and the poor. There was a disciple of named "Saruram Kalita" purchased a plot of 80 bighas at "Kumarveti Chapri village" of "Kokilamukh", Jorhat in Sibsagar district after taking money from Nigamananda. The Math was instituted on the land. Nigamananda himself founded the "asan"(seat) of Guru Brahama at "Kokilamukh" near Jorhat in the propitious occasion of Akshay Tritiya on 7th Baisakh 1319 B.S. and gave the name to it as Shanti Ashram. First seven self denying disciples (Swami Chidananda, Swami Premananda, Swami Swarupananda, Swami Yogananda, Swami Suddhananda, Swami Bodhananda and Swami Saradananda) were initiated asceticism by Nigamananda and he gave name to this Ashram as "Saraswat Math". Then it has been given a name to Assam Bangiya Saraswat Math since 1325 B.S.    Being an ascetic relating to the title of "Saraswati" (tradition name) under the Sringeri Math Nigamananda gives the name to his Math as "Saraswata Matha".
