Summary

This is the true life story of a hidden saint, a well-educated holy man who begged on the streets of India. God alone was his creed and his approach to everyday life. His unusual innocence and radiant presence were recognized by seekers from both East and West, who knew him as the Godchild of Tiruvannamalai, the small city where he lived for 40 years. The book also includes the lives and teachings of Yogi Ramsuratkumar's three distinguished gurus, including Sri Auribindo.
