His Holiness Yogi Sri Ramsuratkumar, the Godchild of Tiruvannamalai is a very rare soul coming in the line of the great masters of light and wisdom of India.

In the words of Truman Caylor Wadlington who has written on this Godchild "Ramsuratkumar is a striking figure possessing a countenance of benignity and philosophical habits of thought. His walk and his laughter are somehow like that of a child, and his words are simple, straightforward and honest. Presently, he lives an abstemious and inconspicuous life dressed in the rags of a beggar. His simple and eccentric ways permit him to remain engrossed in his work all the hours of the day".

"Some people see in him a madman; to others he is a joyous dreamer; to others again he is an intense thinker; -while for a few, he is a child living a life rich with the idea of love and beauty and spirit; but to all he is a scion of aristocratic strength. When he grows serious, his face strikes awe into the hearts of his companions, and when he is absorbed in his thoughts, he sends such a force of repelling reserve that it almost seems as if a wall of silence is circumscribing him".

Yogi Sri Romsuratkumar's main emotional and intellectual impulse is that of Unity. He never preaches, but in his quiet discussions with friends and aspirants of truth, there is a constant harking back in his thought to a central Source behind the phenomena of the tangible universe and also to the movement that marks the tendency to refinement and harmonisation in the hierarchical levels of Nature and which makes its demand on ail of embodied existence.

He asserts that from this Source arise the creative and evolutionary impulses of man and the Universe; so that unity is not an arbitrary or fictitious idea, but the secret foundation of all things. The Spirit is moved from a simple to a complex oneness, and humanity as well as all form-life, evolves through diversity and moves toward unity. Thus, the unity of mankind is part of Nature's plan. Sri Ramsuratkumar states that the advent of world unity and peace will be the first step towards achieving the Life Divine on earth."

This assessment gives a graphic description of the sage of Tiruvannamalai. I had the privilege of meeting him quite a few times and I found in him a pristine purity and inner divinity which are not normally present in various Godmen.

The greatness of Yogi Sri Ramsuratkumar is seen in the fact that he is not attached to any worldly possessions. He does not demand any money or gifts which characterise almost all Godmen today. In this, Yogi of Tiruvannamalai is unique.

Yogi Sri Ramsuratkumar is a model beggar and he begs for humanity. In the presence of this beggar (he calls himself proudly so often), you feel great. All that he could give you is only BLESSINGS in the name of FATHER.
What more do you want or can you wish?

A -smile, an intensive look gives you Amrit and nectar starts flowing in to you. It is really an Eternal Experience to meet the simple Godchild of Tiruvannamalai.
