Swami Ramdas, known as Vittal Rao in his pre-Sannyas days. Around the year 1920, he was made to think deeply on the futility of worldly pursuits and the absolute necessity of pursuing the divine path for realising his identity with the Supreme Being, as a result of which alone he can get 'Peace-eternal.' He placed himself totally at the altar of God. Intense aspiration coupled with intense practice to attain the Highest quickened his spiritual progress and in a short time he had the vision of beholding his Beloved God everywhere, both within and without. This resulted in getting himself established in unending Bliss.

Pujya Mother Krishnabai, after being subjected to severe setbacks and shocks in her domestic life following the passing away of her husband, was led to Beloved Papa in the year 1928 who accepted her as his disciple and initiated her into the all-powerful Ram Mantra. She attained realisation or Universal vision by implicitly following her Guru's teachings. Mataji, an embodiment of love and service, served literally as a mother to all who came under her spell from the inception of the Ashram till she dropped her body in 1989.

Pujya Swami Satchidananda, known in Purvashram as Anantasivan, after a period of struggles and trials in his early life, came under the spell of the unique personality of Beloved Papa more than five decades ago. His age was then thirty. Beloved Papa saw a keen aspirant in him and Anantasivan found his Guru in Beloved Papa. At the behest of Beloved Papa, he took to Nama Japa, Guruseva and dedicated service to all in right earnest and later embraced the order of Sannyas. The Great Gurus were grooming Swamiji, as it were, to equip him fully for carrying out the noble mission.
