Yogi Ramsuratkumar (1 December 1918 - 20 February 2001) 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 famous for attracting spiritual seekers worldwide and has had a continuous lineage of enlightened souls. He acknowledges the contribution of three of the most well known saints of his time in his evolution to enlightenment. These individuals were Sri Aurobindo, the founder of Integral yoga, Ramana Maharshi, one of the "spiritual supermen" of his time, and Swami Ramdas, Yogi's eventual guru. Yogi Ramsuratkumar Personal Born 1 December 1918 Nardara Ballia U.P. Died 20 February 2001 (aged 82) Religion Hinduism Religious career Website Yogi Ramsuratkumar Ashram - Official Website Pre-enlightenment life Edit Yogi Ramsuratkumar was born in a village Naradara, Lalganj, Ballia-277216 (U. P.) near Kashi on 1 December 1918. 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 advises him to go for South and be a seeker. He grew up as a Grihasta (Grhastha: Grha- means home, family or house; -sth means devoted to, occupied with being in) 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 (Jnana : knowledge), Sri Ramana Maharshi blessed him with tapas (spiritual meditations) and Swami Ramdas gave him the nectar of Bhakti (devotion). Swami Ramdas initiated him into the holy mantra (a powerful spiritual phrase ): " 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 Edit 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. Yogi Ramsuratkumar's most prominent Western students were Lee Lozowick, who founded "Western Baul" communities in the United States and Europe,[1] and Krishna Carcelle (Gaurakrishna), who published the Vedantic monthly magazine 'Rama Nama' and created the website of 'Yogi Ramsuratkumar Bhavan' with the blessings of his Master, and publishes free ebooks on Yogi Ramsuratkumar.

It's a magical place Miracles happened for me after visiting this aasarmam Hospitality will be awesome Spiritual & so peaceful

For me it appeared like typical ashram of modern Indian Yogi/Guru. Good architecture, clean maintenance, displays, conducive environment for meditation & etc. Once thing that I can personally vouch is, the fertilizer sold in the entrance of Ashram worked very well in our garden.

Very good place for spiritual experience. One should visit this place and get own experience.

Love peace, visit here. Very bigger ashram that got Yaga salai, Dining hall, Main prayer hall, kitchen and well maintained garden, elementary school and guest houses in front of ashram. Yogi Ramsurathkumar fondly called as Visiri saamiyaar gave messages to world. Annadhanam happens every day, prasadham also provided in the main prayer hall. Got a very different experience in my first visit to this ashram along with my family. Whenever you visit Thirivannamalai, do not forget to visit Seshadhri Ashram, Sri Ramanasramam and Yogi Ramsurathkumar ashram which are all located few 100meters adjacent to each other.
