Gurudev
Gurudev Lakshminarayan Ji was born on June 10, 1970, in a farmer's family in the village of Bahadurpur, located in the Alwar district of Rajasthan. From an early age, he had a deep interest in spiritual contemplation, rooted in his past karmic impressions and familial upbringing. His life was profoundly influenced by his Satguru Awadhoot Devidas Maharaj Ji, mother Jhooma Devi Ji, and elder brother Shivcharan Ji. Lakshminarayan Ji completed his M.A. from Rajasthan University and, with the blessings of his Satguru, was selected into the Indian Police Service (IPS) in 1998, being allotted the West Bengal cadre. In the year 2000, by divine grace, he married the noble and spiritually inclined Mrs. Keerti Ji. They were blessed with two daughters, Akshara Narayan and Neerja Narayan. Both husband and wife shared a deep spiritual inclination, which made it easier for him to ascend the heights of spiritual realization. Through the grace of his Guru, he unveiled the most subtle mysteries of the Supreme Power with a scientific approach and presented them to the general public in an understandable way. His writings reflect a profound divine energy and have served as a healing elixir for the welfare of society and humanity. His literary work transcends boundaries of caste, creed, and sectarianism, and therefore, scholars from all faiths have warmly welcomed his writings. By "filling an ocean into a pitcher," he has initiated a new chapter in the history of humanity—reviving a humanistic and egalitarian perspective after nearly 500-600 years. Gurudev Lakshminarayan Ji’s life is a unique confluence of spirituality, service, and wisdom. In today's age, he stands as a source of inspiration for true seekers and thinkers alike.
Satgurudev
Awadhoot Devidas Ji was born in the village of Ghosrana in the Alwar district of Rajasthan into a Jat farmer family. His father's name was Mansukh, and his mother's name was Maharaji. From an early age, he was spiritually inclined, and at just 11 years old, he renounced his home in search of the Supreme (Brahma). He took initiation from the enlightened Guru Kajordas Ji and accepted a life of renunciation. Devidas Ji was the only disciple of Kajordas Ji. His Guru gave him the sacred Ram Mantra and instructed him to detach from worldly life and undertake intense penance. Devidas Ji lived in the dense forests of Sariska, surviving on grass and leaves while engaging in deep meditation. Later, he practiced extreme austerity for 12 years, living only on air (Vayu Ahari). Impressed by his disciplined and intense penance, a divine voice (Akashvani) granted him a boon. However, Devidas Ji, completely detached due to the power of the Guru Mantra, refused to ask for any boon. The divine voice then blessed him with immortality (Ajara-Amara), selfless devotion (Nishkaam Bhakti), and the complete realization of Brahma. He was told that from that day on, he would be known as “Awadhoot,” free from all karmic bondage and forever established in the supreme spiritual state. Upon attaining this state, Awadhoot Devidas Ji realized that energy is power, power is Brahma, Brahma is indivisible, and all of humanity is one. With this realization, he left the forests of Sariska and began traveling from village to village, spreading the message of humanity. He strongly opposed superstition and blind rituals, instead promoting true human values and spiritual wisdom in simple language. His life was completely dedicated to spiritual practice, selfless service, and devotion to his Guru. He never indulged in magical or showy behavior, and emphasized that total surrender to the Guru is the essence of spiritual practice. Everyone who came in contact with him was spiritually uplifted. Awadhoot Devidas Ji’s life is a shining example of how true devotion, discipline, and service to humanity can elevate a person to extraordinary spiritual heights and inspire countless others on the path of truth.
