Known lovingly as Babaji Maharaj, Sri Ramakrishna Das was a spiritual light for many in Odisha. Born in Rairpur village on August 14, 1908, his inner journey began with intense sadhana in Ayodhya and culminated in divine surrender at Sri Aurobindo Ashram in 1945. His deep devotion to The Mother and Sri Aurobindo transformed not just his own life, but inspired generations of seekers in Odisha. He left his mortal body on November 8, 1998, leaving behind a spiritual legacy steeped in grace.
