A Brief Sketch of the Life of Sri Ramchandraji
His Holiness Sri Ramchandraji Maharaj was born on 30th April in the year 1899 at Shahjahanpur, in a respectable kayastha family. His father was Raj Bahadur Sri Badri Prasad, Pleader and I Class Honorary Magistrate at Shahjahanpur, and was a great scholar.
Even from childhood Sri Ramchandraji showed no interest in temporal affairs including eating food. When he was sixteen he had developed a taste for philosophy, literature and geography. He was good at games, particularly Hockey, Football and riding, all of which gave up later in his teens itself. All these years he was yearning for realisation and was developing a thirst for Reality.
It was a very happy day when he arrived at the feet of Sri Ramchandraji of Fatehgarh, UP, one of the most renowned saints of India, who brought into use the old and forgotten method of Transmission used by Yogis several thousand years back.
It was on 14th August, 1931 that his Guru entered Maha Samadhi and on 15th he felt that his Guru has transmitted him everything of His. Sri Ramchandra Mission was founded in 1944 by him to carry out the mission of his Master.
His work now is that of training the men who are eager to solve their problem of life, once and for all through a simple and unostentatious way. This he does ably by the method of transmission and without much pomp and show. Spirituality is a fruit that can be had or rather should be had by one and all and it is not only for a privileged few. God is simple and can be arrived at through simple means easily.
Sri Ramchandraji may well be considered to be about the greatest spiritual leader and teacher suited to bring about spiritual transmission of man to day.
