Rambhadracharya Biography

Rambhadracharya is one of the most popular and richest Indian poet who was born on January 14, 1950 in Jaunpur district, Uttar Pradesh, India. Giridhar lost his sight at two months old. His eyes became infected with trachoma on the 24th of March 1950. The village did not have any advanced treatment options so the elderly lady from a nearby village was able to treat his trachoma boils. To burst the lumps, the woman applied a paste made of myrobalan on Giridhar’s eyes. However, his eyes began to bleed, leading to his loss of vision. His family took him to Lucknow’s King George Hospital, where he was treated for 21 days. However, his sight was not restored. Numerous Ayurvedic and Homeopathic practitioners, as well as Allopathic practitioners, were contacted in Sitapur and Lucknow but without success. Rambhadracharya has been completely blind since then. Rambhadracharya cannot read or write because he doesn’t use Braille. He learns by listening, and then composes by dictating other scribes.

Giridhar’s Upanayana (sacred Thread Ceremony) was performed on Nirjala Ekadashi, the Ekadashi that fell in the bright half lunar month of Jyeshtha, 24 June 1961. Pandit Ishvardas Maharaj, of Ayodhya, initiated him (given Diksha), into the mantra Rama on this day. Giridhar, who had already learned the Bhagavad Gita as well as Ramcharitmanas from a young age, began attending Katha programmes near his village every three years during the intercalary month Purushottama. He presented a Katha about Ramcharitmanas the third time he attended. This was highly praised by many prominent exponents of Katha art.

In 1971 Giridhar enrolled at the Sampurnanand Sanskrit University in Varanasi for higher studies in Vyakarana. He topped the final examination for the Shastri (Bachelor of Arts) degree in 1974, and then enrolled for the Acharya (Master of Arts) degree at the same institute. While pursuing his master’s degree, he visited New Delhi to participate in various national competitions at the All-India Sanskrit Conference, where he won five out of the eight gold medals—in Vyakarana, Samkhya, Nyaya, Vedanta, and Sanskrit Antakshari. Indira Gandhi, then Prime Minister of India, presented the five gold medals, along with the Chalvaijayanti trophy for Uttar Pradesh, to Giridhar. Impressed by his abilities, Gandhi offered to send him at her own expense to the United States for treatment for his eyes, but Giridhar turned down this offer, replying with an extemporaneous Sanskrit verse.

In 1976 Giridhar topped the final Acharya examinations in Vyakarana, winning seven gold medals and the Chancellor’s gold medal. In a rare achievement, although he had only enrolled for a master’s degree in Vyakarana, he was declared Acharya of all subjects taught at the university on 30 April 1976.

Giridhar was one of the children who ran away from a monkey that touched them during a village juggler’s show in June 1953. Giridhar fell into small, dry wells and was trapped there for a while until a young girl saved him. His grandfather said that Giridhar’s life was saved by the Ramcharitmanas (1.192.4) verse he had read during the episode about the manifestation of the god Rama.
