Born in village Kiloi of Rohtak district, Haryana, on March 25, 1920, Badlu Ram Gupta graduated from St. Stephen's College, Delhi, in 1942. He took a degree in Teaching from the Central Training College, Lahore, in 1946.
After a stint of 10 years in the teaching profession, he settled down in the family business in the year 1956. But Badlu Ram soon felt that life is meant for something more. He took to contemplation and meditation on men and matters. From 1962 onwards, he has contributed more than a thousand letters and articles to national and international dailies and periodicals such as Hinduism To-day (published from USA), Bhavan's Journal, The Illustrated Weekly of India, Organiser, Caravan, The Call Beyond etc. The souvenir published on the occasion of an international Hindi Convention in 1994 at York University Toronto Canada carried an article by Guptaji.
He has also authored twenty-two books on matters mundane and metaphysical. His essay 'Whither India' topped in an All-India Contest in 1967.
Badlu Ram's scholarly attainments have been recognised by several organisations. The Union Education Ministry invited him, as a special invitee, to a seminar on Devanagri Script held in Vigyan Bhavan, New Delhi, in October, 1967, where he read a paper titled "The Problem of a Common Script", which was later translated and published in the Ministry's quarterly journal 'Bhasha'. Bharatiya Bahu Udeshiya Vidyapeeth, Varanasi, honoured him with the degree of Doctor of Literary Culture (1969).
Badlu Ram Ji has been accorded several receptions both in his home-state of Haryana and at the Central level in New Delhi, where he was presented with 'Abhinandan Patra' and shawl a number of times.
