Mahantyagi Baba Jumdeoji
A Life of Spiritual and Social Upliftment
Born into a poor family in Nagpur, Maharashtra, on April 3, 1921, Mahantyagi Baba Jumdeoji dedicated his life to spiritual awakening and radical social reform, founding the "Manav Dharma" religion based on principles of humanity, truth, and love.
Despite limited formal education, his spiritual depth led him to an intuitive perception of God Hanuman, followed by a profound transcendental experience on August 25, 1948, which inspired him to become a social healer.
