Introduction to the basic writings of Sri Ramchandra
Shri Ram Chandraji of Shahjahanpur is the founder and President of the Mission called after His Guru Shri Ram Chandraji of Fatehgarh (U.P.). The Mission was started to spread the method of Raj Yoga, which Shri Ram Chandraji of Fatehgarh devised during His lifetime.

He is a householder living the ordinary life of a family man with all the duties and responsibilities belonging to that station and life (asrama). His simplicity and purity and all pervading peace are rare qualities. He enthuses every one who meets Him with this godly aspiration for Ultimate peace and simplicity and liberation both within and without, and what is more, has been able to train persons belonging to different levels of varna and asrama to live this divine life of purity, simplicity and peace amongst their fellowmen.
Shri Ram Chandraji-s life was entirely spent at Shahjahanpur as an official in the District Court at that place. Uneventful in respect of the world, it was spiritually packed with sadhana, which his Guru trained Him in. He attained
