When he was less than 5 years, he had an illumined vision of Shri Krishna and
subsequently lost his eyesight in small pox. His Guruji's name was Swami
Ramanand. He moved around on foot when there were no trains, no electricity,
from village to village and made the people remember Sanatan Dharma. His main
disciples were Swami Sarvanandji Maharaj, and Swami Govindanandji Maharaj and
now we have Swami Bhaskaranandji Maharaj. He made the people aware of their
main religious Granth: the Vedas. He brought the various branches(Sampradayas)
under the common flag of the Vedas. He published the 4 Vedas in a single book
form and distributed it to over more than 700 places all over the world. He had
extraordinary Memory and Intellect : even listening to one pravachan had a
tremendous effect on the listener. Guruji?s pravachans are available in several
