We belong to a middle class family in our Madurai land Gurunathar Sri La Sri Gnana Yogi Ravithatha was born. Our Gurunathar who naturally felt the sense of guru filling him from a young age, who am I…..? He also engaged in self-inquiry. Then, following the guidance of his guru, he renounced all desires and expectations and embarked on a long pilgrimage amid many hardships. He also undertook many pilgrimages to various spiritual cities across India, crossing religions.
Through Gurunathar’s guidance and the experiences of many stages of pilgrimage, he sought to know the true meaning of life. In the end he found the guru within him and then he knew himself. He also realized that the Guru within him was nothing else. In order to make this truth known to the people of the world,
Search within yourself… You know yourself too… You will also know your guru….
He has been a guru who has been a guide to all of us even today by announcing the wisdom of the world. He continues to guide us all today in order to encourage all the people of the world who are languishing in ignorance, incapacity, poverty and longing, to give them self-confidence and to rescue them from their suffering.
Grandfather
Our mother and father, who took good care of us in our childhood, become old people later, but due to the environment, our parents, who took good care of us and brought us up, are left uncared for in their old age. So our Gurunathar Sri La Sri Gnana Yogi Ravithatha got the title of Grand father from the Gurunathar in himself in order to make us all realize the importance of elderly parents. Later, by combining it with his name, he is affectionately called Ravi Datta by everyone and Guru with devotion. Sri La Sri Gnanayogi Ravithatha is an intelligent and approachable person. His primary duty is to undertake various charitable activities aimed at uplifting the society and supporting the needy.
