MASVS Gurukula PU College

Almost a century ago, a boy in his teens, a victim of epilepsy, left home to seek God. He found God in people- especially the poor, the sick, the ignorant and down trodden. He travelled the country on foot, gathering resources to serve his God. He then blossomed into a many sided genius: a doctor par excellence in Ayurveda, Yoga charya of the highest calibre, social reformer, freedom fighter, philosopher, poet, playwright, an amazing athelete.

He came back to Karnataka in 1933 with a mission and vision: to follow Mahatma Gandhi in building a free, robust, secular India. He held 40 day camps, gave health and patriotism to people, cured the sick; he chose a backward and remote village, Malladihalli to carry out his mission. As a result, the village became piligrim Centre for every work in social and economic reorganisation, education, public health, spiritual evolution and national reconstruction.

He was born as Raghavendra called himself a “Great beggar(Tiruka)” - for he built his monumental Anatha Sewashrama entirely from out of his begging bowl- but the world insisted on calling him “Raghavendra Swamiji” – a swami of the poor, the sick, the ignorant and the downtrodden.

While in his teens, an young teacher, Suryanarayana of the nearby village Holalkere, was attracted to the magnificent personality of the Swamiji and joined him, received “Seva Deeksha” from him and was named Surdasji. Silently, imperceptibly, he grew under the shadow of his Master and blossomed into everything the Master was stood for. With the magic touch and training of the Master the Disciple was metamorphosed into a Master and became endowed with great spiritual power. Together they marched shoulder to shoulder, minding not praise or abuse, accepting only Charity, but never personal awards or Honours, in the service of Man, transcendind all accidents of birth such as of creed, colour or caste and built with the begging bowl of the Master, the huge Anathasevashrama veritable vast banyan tree. When Swamiji attained Maha Samadhi at the ripe age of 106 years, in active service till the very last, the mantle of the Ashrama fell on the shoulders of Surdas Swamiji as the President, as the successful successor Swami Surdasji managed the affairs of the Ashrama very efficiently and expanded the activities to Mysore also.
