Born in a tiny village on the Ganges near Varanasi, Ramsurat graduated from university and became the headmaster of a village school in Bihar, where he lived with his wife and four children.  A powerful longing for the Divine called him to a series of pilgrimages to south India, where over time he met his three “spiritual fathers"--Sri Aurobindo, Ramana Maharshi and Swami Papa Ramdas. Upon meeting Sri Ramana, the great saint of Arunachala, Ramsurat experienced a powerful spiritual transmission through an extended gaze shared with the great being, Sri Ramana Maharshi, during a meditation.

After the deaths of Ramana Maharshi and Sri Aurobindo, Ramsurat turned fully to Swami Ramdas. In 1952 he was initiated by Ramdas into the mantra, Om Sri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram.

Grief-stricken, he cried and cried, not knowing what to do .For the first time the question of birth and death arose in him. After this he began to seek solitude more and more and plunged into meditation.

    At the age of sixteen, he ran away from home without telling anyone, reached Kashi and stood in the shrine of Viswanathji .There he found the whole place filled with an ef

He was wearing two or three very colorful shawls, and a very carelessly tied turban over his head. His eyes were shining. My God, he was extraordinary!

-What do you want from this beggar? What do you want?

-I want to see God.

-What? You want to see God?

I felt so terrible. I wanted the earth to open and swallow me. And then his face softened. And he said:

Devaki, this beggar has not seen God. How can he help you? This beggar has not seen God. You want to see God.”
