Our Parampara

bhagvān śri ramaṇa maharṣi

Ramana Maharshi (“Bhagavan”) was a 20th century South Indian sage who continues to radiate peace and self-awareness to the global community of spiritual seekers. You do not need to join any organization, adopt any belief system, or worship anyone or anything to experience the transition of bliss and clarity. Bhagavan simply points you towards your innermost self, the unchanging reality underlying all that exists.

yogi ramaiah (sri rāma yogi)

Driven by a deep yearning for liberation, Yogi Ramaiah sought out spiritual masters who could guide him on his path. He received initiation into the Rama Taraka Mantra, a powerful tool for inner transformation, and dedicated himself to intense sadhana (spiritual practice). His practice included continuous repetition of the mantra, pranayama (breath control), and meditation, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to Self-realization.

swami prajnāranhya (sadhu padmanābha yogi – yogi protoplasm)

It was a turning point in his life. Yogi Protoplasm is a tapasvi mahatma and has been living on a diet of only milk for the past 35 years. Yogiji came in close contact with the self realised saint Yogi Rama and served him for ten years from 1952 to 1962.
