His Life.
It is very little and nothing concrete detail about the early life of Devraha Baba. Many people said that after finishing his Tapasya(penance) in the Himalayas he returned to the worldly life for the welfare and spiritual guidance to the world. He first stayed near the bank of Sarayu river on a high platform made of wooden logs called Machan. His whole life, he lived on this wooden platform, the place where he first stayed is in the Deoria district in U.P that why people called him Devraha Baba. After that, he shifted to the Vrindavan near the bank of the Yamuna, where he lived on the wooden platform and leave the platform only for the bathing in the river, wore a small deerskin and take only milk & honey as food.
He was a Siddha yogi and a living avatar when someone asked him in which state he lives his life? He answered he always in the state of Isheveraleen means always merged in God, which is the true Yogic state. His disciples are from the poor man to the politically powerful national and international leaders like India’s first president Rajendra Prasad, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, many international diplomats, and celebrities. After having so many followers of the rich and poor community he always lives a true yogi life without any possession and fame. For him, everyone is equal caste and community. He used to bless the devotees with his feet because the feet have all the pilgrimage in it.
