The Establishment of

Ramashram Satsang & Guru Maharaj’s Early Life

Guru Maharaj, Paramsant Dr. Chaturbhuj Sahay Ji, was the visionary founder of Ramashram Satsang, Mathura. Born on November 3, 1873, in Etah, Uttar Pradesh, he was raised in a deeply spiritual and charitable family. Although he pursued a career in homeopathy, his true calling lay in the path of spiritual enlightenment. His deep interest in meditation and self-discipline led him to seek higher knowledge, eventually bringing him under the guidance of Mahatma Ramchandraji Maharaj (Lala Ji Maharaj).

In 1930, he formally established Ramashram Satsang, a movement dedicated to spreading the practice of meditation and self-realization beyond religious boundaries. His teachings emphasized universal spirituality, making meditation accessible to all, regardless of faith or background. Through Ramashram Satsang, he nurtured a vast community of spiritual seekers, guiding them toward inner peace and higher consciousness.

Guru Maharaj firmly believed that spirituality should be integrated into daily life. He taught that true enlightenment is reflected in one's actions, character, and service to humanity. His legacy continues to inspire seekers worldwide, reminding them that the path to self-realization lies in devotion, discipline, and inner stillness.

Spiritual Awakening & The Guiding Light of His Guru

Guru Maharaj’s journey toward spiritual awakening began in 1910-11 when he met his revered mentor, Mahatma Ramchandraji Maharaj (also known as Lala Ji Maharaj or Dada Guru Maharaj). Drawn to his guru’s simplicity and profound wisdom, he spent two years under his guidance before being introduced to the transformative practice of meditation (Dhyan).

Recognizing his immense spiritual potential, Dada Guru Maharaj entrusted him with the sacred mission of propagating divine consciousness. This marked the beginning of Guru Maharaj’s lifelong commitment to meditation as a means of achieving inner stillness, self-awareness, and spiritual evolution.

The Philosophical Legacy & Teachings of Guru Maharaj

Guru Maharaj believed that spirituality is not about renouncing the world but embracing it with divine wisdom. His teachings centered around:

  • Meditation as a Way of Life – Encouraging individuals to integrate meditation into their daily routines.

  • Self-Discipline & Inner Inquiry – Promoting self-awareness through disciplined practice.

  • Devotion & Surrender – Surrendering to the higher self while living a balanced, fulfilling life.

  • Service & Compassion – Viewing true spiritual progress as a reflection of love, humility, and selfless service.
