"The Lion of Lucknow"
1910 - 1997


Sri H.W.L Poonja, known simply as Papaji by his loving disciples, was born in 1910 in the Punjab. His mother was the sister of Swami Rama Tirtha, one of India's most respected Saints.

Papaji realized the Truth when he was 8 years old. This Realization infinitely blossomed in his early 30's when he met his Guru, Sri Ramana Maharshi, the Sage of Arunachala.

Since that time he has shared this Beauty with his wise words, his look, his touch, and through the silent spiritual power that radiates from his Presence. When he left his beautiful body in September of 1997 this power exploded and is felt around the world, now more than ever.

From 1918 to Now, Papaji has directly shown to thousands that the Truth is the most magnificent Mystery undifferentiated from our very Self. He guides one to surrender to the wisdom of our Being and that we are the Truth.
