A living beacon of light - Pujya Dr. V.K. Saxena

Present Acharya of Sri Ramashram Satsang

Dr. V.K. Saxena, popularly known as Dinnu Bhai Saheb is the present Acharya of the Satsang thus anointed by Param Pujya Babuji Maharaj in 1981. The two worthy successors of Babuji Maharaj, his two sons carried on his legacy without fail. After the nirvana of Pujya Seth Bhai Saheb, Dr. V.K. Saxena shouldered all responsibility of the Ramashram’s spiritual quests, armed with the blessings of his Gurudev (Dr. Srikrishna Lal Bhatnagarji Maharaj) and the ashirvaad of his revered father who was also his murshid-e-kamil. He was initiated at a very early age by his Guru who prophesied that, “I have given everything that I had…..If you will work hard everything will be realized, failing which the sheen would be gone.” His words have not been in vain for the present Acharya has treaded his way forward with a clear vision for the Ramashram.

Dr. V.K.Saxena is the second son of Param Pujya Babuji Maharaj. Both his sons were born with the blessings of Param Pujya Lalaji Maharaj at Bulandshahar district after the death of his daughter Kamla Behen. It was his last visit at Babuji’s place. Lalaji Maharaj was at the definitive peak of his spiritual powers wherein there was a yielding or a giving over, “Deen aur duniya dono loota rahe the” and he granted Dr. Shyam Lal Saxena’s wishes for a son, benevolently saying, “Why one, why not two?”

Dr. V.K. Saxena was born on 23rd August 1932 at Sikandarabad in Bara Mahal, the ancestral mansion of Param Pujya Tauji Maharaj (Dr. Sri Krishnalal Ji Maharaj). He lost his mother when he was just over a year old and was nursed by Param Pujya Taiji (wife of Tauji Maharaj). Tauji Maharaj had given his word to Dinnu Bhai Saheb’s mother on her death bed that he would look after her 3 children through the work of din, duniya and parmarth and he fulfilled his promise.

Dr. V.K. Saxena started his early education in Sikandarabad. He sailed through High School with a First division and completed his M.B.B.S from Agra Medical College. Though he desired to pursue M.D, he had to take up P.M.S service Uttar Pradesh in January 1961 due to financial constraints of the family. After a few years had elapsed his desire was fulfilled and he completed his M.D from Lucknow K.G.M.C. He began his medical career in Meerut, but was posted most often in Gonda and Lucknow. He retired from Lakhimpur Kheri as Chief Medical Superintendent. He is now settled at B1/26, Sector K, Aliganj, Lucknow.

Parmarth Dr. Saxena was born in his Guru’s abode and was brought up in an atmosphere of spiritual enlightenment where Paramarth was instilled into him at a very tender age. Param Pujya Babuji Maharaj gave Izaazat to both his sons in 1981.

Our present Acharya has guided the spiritual direction of the Ramashram towards new horizons. All the centers established by Babuji Maharaj were strengthened and reorganized. Local satsangis drove in flocks to the centers. New regional satsang centers were inaugurated at Patna, Samastipur, Darbhaga, Hapur, Meerut, Jaipur, Agra, Lucknow, Barabanki, Lakhimpur etc. Most pravachans of Babuji Maharaj were compiled in a book “Anmol Sant Vachan”. “Vansh Parichay” accumulating all the dates and details of birth, nirvana, shraddh, Samadhi of all the saints related to Param Pujya Lalaji Maharaj and Param Pujya Chachaji Maharaj, was published for the reference of all satsang followers. He also got the Samadhi Mandir Ghaziabad constructed, which was started by Param Pujya Seth Bhai Sahib and built Devasthali Ashram in Lucknow.
