Rama Tirtha (1873 - 1906)

His mother died when he was
a few days old and he was
raised by his elder brother.

After receiving a master's
degree in mathematics from
The Government College of
Lahore he became professor
of mathematics at Forman
Christian College, Lahore.

A chance meeting with Swami
Vivekananda in 1897 in Lahore,
inspired his later decision
to take up the life of a sannyasi.

Having become well known for his
speeches on Krishna and Advaita
Vedanta he became a swami in
1899 on the day of Deepawali,
leaving his wife, his children
and his professorial chair.

As a sannyasi, he neither
touched any money nor carried
any luggage with him.
In spite of it he went round the world.

He traveled to Japan to teach
Hinduism, then he traveled
to the USA in 1902, where he
spent two years lecturing on
Hinduism, other religions and
his philosophy of "practical vedanta".

Returned to India in 1904,
but eventually completely
withdrew from public life
in 1906 and moved to the
foothills of the Himalaya,
we he died by drowning.
