The partition of India and the carnage that followed, murder of innocent people, women and children distressed him so much that waves of vairagya (renunciation) arose in his heart. Cutting the family ties he ventured out in search of the truth. He adopted Hindu religion and was then named as Manudev. He quickly learnt Hindi and Sanskrit and plunged into the study of the spiritual literature. He was strongly influenced by the teachings of Maharsi Dayanand in the Satyarthprakash. Theefrom, he learnt the education system of medevial India and benefits of yoga. He then took a vow to devote his life to the spread of yoga to the humanity.
At the age of 22 he entered he Arsa Gurukul at Jhajjar. For over twelve years he received his education from the learned Acaryas, studied vedic grammar, Darsanas, Upanisadas and the Vedas. After Completing his studies he moved out to carry the message to the people of the country. In 1970 he took sanyas diksa from Swami Brahmmuni. He continues to travel all over India to impart practical training in Kriyatmak Yoga. By organizing such yoga sivirs (Camps) he has inspired thousands of people towards spiritual path. He has travelled abroad viz. Australia and Mauritius for spread of Vedic Dharma.
For training and extending assistance to the Vedic scholars he founded ideal institutions viz. Darsan yoga Mahavidyalaya, Ars Gurukul – Sundarpur, Visva kalian Dharmarth Trust. His Life is devoted to the service of humanity. There is no difference between his word and his deeds. True to his name he has profound faith in the gospel of truth. He is very meticulous in his teachings and adheres strictly to time schedules; never wastes even a minute. He has trained a large number of scholars who are now engaged in propagation of Vedic Dharma in far corners of India and abroad. He has written spiritual books viz. Yoga Mimansa, Saral Yoga se Isvar Saksatkar, Yoga Darsanam (Hogarth Prakash Commentary).
In 1999 he was felicitated publicly by presenting a cheque of Rs. 51 Lakhs which he donated for establishing Vanprastha Sadhak Ashram. More information regarding his life and works can be had from his autobiography, ‘Mera Sanksipt Jivan Caritra’
In the book various subjects concerned with yoga philosophy have been discussed in simple language, as for example : the nature of yoga, the benefits of yoga, the means of yoga, the obstacles to yoga, the nature of the eight parts of yoga, the necessity of yoga, for everybody the non-fulfilment only through God realization, the distinct nature and character of the eternal trinity God, soul and Prakrti, the solution to world problems, realisation of God, prayer and worship for success in yoga etc. It is my earnest wish and prayer that this simple, natural and original philosophy and practice of yoga should prevail in the world. May God bless us with inspiration and success in this noble task.
