Mahatma Ramchandra Ji (Lala Ji) was born in the year 1873 in Farrukhabad City, UP, India. His mother was deeply religious and she left an indelible mark on young Ramchandra before she left for heavenly abode when Ramchandra was merely seven. A muslim matron raised him afterwards. His early education was at home by a maulvi and later he took his education at Mission School.

His father also expired soon after his marriage and he had to take over burden of the family in very difficult circumstances. Due to losing an old litigation, he had to sell all his belongings including house and property. He dropped his studies and  settled for a secondary job in Collectorate. However with hard work and honesty, he retired at a considerably higher post.

When Mahatma Ji was eighteen, he came in contact with a great Sufi Master, Maulana Fazal Ahmed Khan Saheb. Khan Saheb was totally above the preposterous idea of man-man divide in the name of religion. "Khuda mazhab mein nahin, muhabbat mein hai" (God is not in religions, He is in love) was his fundamental belief. He was a siddha, an enlightened master. His followers included people from all faiths. He found in Mahatma Ji an able soul who could further his mission to awake general masses to devote themselves to the path of God.

Like his master, Mahatma Ji was a great humanitarian. He lived a simple life. Many of his disciples carried his mission of spreading the light of truth. A number of such organisations are today working pronouncing that the wisdom of sages are meant for the common people and boundaries dividing the mankind are only man made.
