Yogi Ramsuratkumar
Yogi Ramsuratkumar, affectionately referred to as 'Swamiji' and ‘Bhagawan’, was an Indian saint and mystic. He was also referred to as "Visiri Samiyar" and spent most of his post-enlightenment period in Tiruvannamalai, a small town in Tamil Nadu which is known for attracting spiritual seekers worldwide and has had a continuous lineage of enlightened souls. He, addressing himself as "this beggar", acknowledges the contribution of three of the well known saints of his time in his evolution to enlightenment, saying "this beggar has three fathers". These individuals were Sri Aurobindo of Pondichery, the founder of Integral yoga, Ramana Maharshi of Tiruvannamalai - one of the "spiritual supermen" of his time, and Swami Ramdas of Kanhangad, Kerala.
Pre-enlightenment life
Yogi Ramsuratkumar was born in a village Naradara, Lalganj, Ballia-277216 near Kashi on 1 December 1918, to a humble couple - Sri Ramdat Kunwar and Smt Kusum Devi. In his childhood, he loved very much to meet the yogis and monks. He was befriended by a number of holy men who built their huts on the Ganges shore or simply wandered nearby. During this time, he met Sri Sri 1008 Sri Khapadia Baba, a mystic monk, who advised him to go to the south and be a seeker.He grew up as a Grihasta but eventually, the tugs of spirituality in his heart took over. In search of his "guru", he visited and spent time in the ashrams of both Sri Aurobindo and Ramana Maharishi. He later moved to Kerala at the ashram of Swami Ramdas. In his own assessment, Sri Aurobindo gave him Jnana '', Sri Ramana Maharshi blessed him with tapas and Swami Ramdas gave him the nectar of Bhakti. Swami Ramdas initiated him into the holy mantra : " Om Sri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram ", by pronouncing it thrice in his ears. Yogi Ramsuratkumar often refers to this instance as his "death", since from this moment on, his ego no longer existed, and he had a profound spiritual experience.
Post-enlightenment life
Yogiji travelled across the country from 1952 to 1959. Not much is known about the exact whereabouts of the yogi in this period. He finally reached Tiruvannamalai in the Southern India in 1959. He was a "hidden" saint during this early period, with not too many individuals realizing that this "beggar" was someone who would bring riches to the lives of countless many. After his guru, Swami Ramdas initiated him with the holy mantra, he also asked him to live a beggar's life. Yogi Ramsuratkumar willingly accepted and from then on he called himself a "beggar". He was seen near the Temple chariot, at the corners of the Road, under the trees of the Temple. As more and more people started acknowledging the divine presence in him, Swamiji then began living in a small house in Sannadhi Street beneath the Temple. He continued to bless the devotees who thronged at thousands to his house at the Sannadhi Street. At a point, his devotees became too many to be handled in a small house and the devotees wished him to have an Ashram which he gently accepted after much persuasion for the sake of his devotees. The Yogi Ramsuratkumar Ashram is constructed at Agrahara collai with a total area of 3.5 Acres.Message
Bhagawan Yogi Ramsuratkumar used to say, “I can only say that, whatever exists is one life. Unity: nothing is separate, nothing isolated. This beggar is related to the Sun, to the Moon, to the Infinite Cosmos. This beggar is not limited to this body. All of us who are present here are not separate, isolated. They are part of me. Myself in all these forms. You see this Champak Tree, you see this Amla Tree, they are all part of my Life. They are not separate. They are not isolated. Myself in all these forms with all these names. I am the Total. I am the Whole, Absolute, Indivisible, Eternal. Limitless Life, Infinite Life. We are all one together, united, perfect unity in Father. Father in all. That’s all I can say.”He also said, "My Father has given a new Name, fresh Name to the world - 'YOGI RAMSURATKUMAR'. It is not the name of this beggar. It is the name of Father. Call upon this name - 'Yogi Ramsuratkumar' and my Father will come for your help at once".
