Khepa Lee Lozowick

Over the thirty-five years of Lee’s teaching work, he established three ashrams, cultivated warm friendships with teachers and practitioners of other traditions and lineages, and became a spiritual friend to many. At his death in November 2010, Lee left the world a legacy of three ashrams (Arizona, France, and India), over forty published books and thirty-five CDs of original music recorded by his rock & roll and blues bands, thousands of recorded talks, and a loosely organized sangha of Western Bauls living on his ashrams or in households around the world. 

Yogi Ramsuratkumar

The beloved saint of south India, Yogi Ramsuratkumar (1918-2001), was a regal beggar saint whose street-stained humble dhotis and shawls could not hide the radiance of his spiritual nobility. His natural, childlike innocence and melodious voice moved pilgrims and seekers from around the world, who came to be uplifted, blessed and transformed in his presence.

Yogi Ramsuratkumar shed his physical body on February 21, 2001, and yet his presence is vivid and bright for those who knew and loved him and for the many who meet him now for the first time… 

Swami Ramdas

Swami “Papa” Ramdas (1884–1963) gave up his worldly life and possessions at a young age to become a wandering sadhu. After years of an arduous sadhana as a wandering mendicant, Ramdas established Anandashram with his feminine counterpart, Mother Krishnabai, in Kerala, India. For over thirty years Ramdas and Krishnabai guided sadhus, wanderers, and pilgrims of many faiths from around the world. After his death in 1963, Mataji Krishnabai became the spiritual preceptor of Anandashram, followed by Swami Satchidananda and, currently, Pujya Swami Muktananda. Today, Anandashram is a thriving spiritual environment for seekers of all paths and traditions.
