Shastriji, born in 1908, he resided in Rajgarh, a small town in the Alwar District of Rajasthan, in India.
He was a scholar of the Vedas (the earliest Scriptures), a man whom Babaji called "the purest man on earth", and Babaji himself said that he inspires Shastriji to speak for. Shri Shastriji said of himself that he "followed Babaji like a shadow," accompanying Him on his many journeys through India in his function as chief priest, celebrating the ancient Vedic ritual of the Yagna, fire ceremony, in hundreds of places.
He was a prolific writer, Sanskrit scholar of repute and one of Mahendra Baba's closest disciples, who had already prophesied Babaji's incarnation as the Lord of Lords and world-teacher, two decades earlier.
