Childhood

Yogeshwar Mulakh Raj Bhagwan was born in Dilerpur, Gurdaspur, Punjab. Born to Devidass Ji (Father) and Rattan Devi (Mother), he was interested in renunciation and meditation processes. During childhood, Yogeshwar pursued the understanding of birth and death by asking many saints. He stopped doing usual childhood activities like playing games and started practicing renunciation practices at an early age.

The following incident inspired Yogeshwar to meditation and yoga practices, and find more about God:

When Yogeshwar Mulakh Raj was 8 years old, his aunt passed away. Stunned by the depressive environment where everyone was crying, he asked his father the reason behind all the crying. Looking at a child's curiosity, his father replied that his aunt has passed away and went to God, and if he wants to find God, saints and sadhus could help him.

After this incident, Yogeshwar started asking questions to all the saints and sadhus about ways to find God.

Finding Spiritual Teacher

Yogeshwar Mulakah Raj was married to Mohan Karu - A resident of Jagdev, Amritsar. Apart from being in a domestic lifestyle, he was inclined to find his spiritual master. Yogeshwar's curiosity led him to meet his spiritual master - Yogeshwar Ramlal Bhagwan in Amritsar. Ramlal Bhagwan gave him directions in spirituality and helped him reach a state of mind called "Turya Ati Turya Avastha". It is said that Yogeshwar Mulakh Raj was able to perform all the activities in this meditation state.
