Bhagwan Nityanand Maharaj

Bade Baba
Bhagavan Nityananda was born in South India. Little is known about his childhood and upbringing. His mother was a serving woman who worked for the lawyer, Ishwar Iyer. The latter became very attached to the young Nityananda (then called Ramana) and raised him with love. Ramana left home at an early age to search for God-realisation. After some years he returned to his village. Now his yogic attainment was palpable. There are many miracle stories from these years, many reported healings and displays of occult powers. He gained a reputation in South India as an adept yogi and holy man. After extensive wandering, Nityananda came to the Western state of Maharashtra. The area where he stayed was a sacred place, but a wilderness. He eventually settled near some hot springs and an ancient Shiva temple about 50 miles from Mumbai. The town of Ganeshpuri sprang up around him as the focal point. Over time his reputation as a great seer with the ability to awaken the Consciousness of seekers spread. Today, he is recognised as a true avadhuta, an exalted being reminiscent of the great Vedic seers. He and two other great modern yogis, Akkalkot Swami (Swami Samartha) and Sai Baba of Shirdi, are often mentioned as three of the most extraordinary and mysterious Siddhas (perfected masters) of recent years. There is no real biography of Bhagavan Nityananda. Instead, his life history is like Puranic myth. He seems more in touch with the impersonal than with personhood. Nonetheless, there is no denying the immense impact he has had on thousands of people.
