The child christened ‘Yashpal’, by his devout parents, later to be known as Sudhanshuji Maharaj, grew up amidst the lap of Mother Nature with the heart of a profound seeker. He would sit for hours in solitude chanting the holy name of the Lord. From the passive depths of pensive contemplation developed a personality that was young, zealous, and was impregnated with divine wisdom.

His love for books and knowledge are evident from his profound and meticulous research on every aspect. His knowledge of Sanskrit and the ancient Vedic sciences provide him the authority to explore and rediscover the weaning spiritual thought of India. The most striking aspect of his personality is his marvelous ‘gift of the gab’ as His Holiness possesses the uncanny ability to establish an instant relationship with the listener.
