This is the true life story of a beggar, a hidden saint, a well educated holy man who begged on the streets of India: Yogi Ramsuratkumar (1918 - 2001).

"Only God" was his creed and his approach to everyday life. His unusual innocence and radiant presence were recognized by seekers from both East and West. The book includes the lives and teachings of the holy beggar's three gurus: Sri Aurobindo, Ramana Maharshi and Swami Papa Ramdas. With self-revelatory honesty and an enjoyable mix of storytelling, interviews and fact-finding, this is an affecting account of an extraordinary life.
