Baba Shri shuns opulence, accepts no disciples and financial support and lives on the charity given by local peasants. He composes and sings devotional verses dedicated to Shri Radha Krishna in the true tradition of Meera Bai and Surdas. He is a scholar par-excellence and gives daily discourses on various Vaishnav philosophies.
He was born in Allahabad and His father was a Sr. Police officer as well as a close friend of well known Indian leader Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya. Malviya ji had predicted that this only son – Rameshwar, will become a sadhu. True to this prediction, 17 years old Rameshwar left his Allahabad University education and home, never to return again. Since 1950’s he has been living on a hill top of Barsana (Mathura) and has never stepped out of the geographical boundary of Braj.
Baba Shri has inspired many individuals and organizations to undertake service of Braj Dham. Each one so inspired is independently contributing to this larger mission of restoring the glory of Braj Dham according to their capability and resources.
