Sri Sri Sitaramdas Omkarnath (1892-1982) is the founder of the Akhil Bharat Jaiguru Sampradaya. Versed in Hindu scriptures and proficient in Yoga, he led the life of a renunciate, upholding the noble values of Sanatana Dharma.Several renowned saints of his time such as Anandamayi Ma, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Sufi Pir Inayat Vilayat Khan, the Buddhist Dalai Lama etc., paid glowing tributes to the divinity in him. Swami Chidananda of Divine Life Society hailed Him as the Naam Avatara (Lords Name Incarnate).He performed severe penance in silence and solitude, in the Himalayas and in a cave in Omkareshwar, for several years. During such periods, he authored nearly two hundred books from divine inspiration. Some of these classics include Sudhar Dhara, Naamamrit Lahiri, Sri Sri Naadleelamri, Sri Sri Brahmanusandhana, and Sri Sri Omkar Sahasra Giti.

Raj Supe, aka Kinkar Vishwashreyananda, is a poet, storyteller and a novelist. He is a seeker and a bhakta -- a follower, nay, an instrument of Sri Sitaramdas Omkarnath. His works include Three No Trumps (a novel, 1998), Sagarika Anusagarika - Echoes for Nine Rivers (Poetry, 2001) and translations of religious texts such as Cloudburst of Thousand Suns and Jai Jai Ram Krishna Hari. His writings convey the passionate intensity of a seeker, the sincerity of one who hopes to bring about an ideal mix of traditional mythic imagery and the urgencies of postmodern life. In the words of a leading poet, " he has the anonymity of the saint- poet on the one hand and the self- expression of the modern writer on the other".
