Publisher's Synopsis
Yogi Ramsuratkumar was a man who was compelled by a burning love of the Divine to give up his home, family and profession to wander the roads of India as a beggar. Passing through trials and tribulation few could endure, he met many of his contemporary mystics of our day, including his two preparatory gurus, Sri Aurobindo and Ramana Maharshi, finally landing at the feet of Swami Papa Ramdas of Kerala. This book takes the reader into the unfolding story of this great yogi's life. First-hand accounts, anecdotes and teachings transport the reader into his world: a world that is mystical, miraculous and astounding in its scope, while at the same time it is mysteriously felt to be "nearer than near". To be touched by the truth, beauty and love that emanate from such a being is to be reminded of our deepest longings. The life of Yogi Ramsuratkumar calls upon us to touch that longing within ourselves and to celebrate the inspiration of one rare individual who abandoned everything for the love of God.
