"Bhagavan Nityananda originated from Kerala, in South India. One of India?s great saints of the last century, he became a wandering yogi early in life. He spent many years living in remote forest areas and was known for his austerities. After settling down, he built an ashram in Kanhangad, Kerala in the 1920s, and another in the village of Ganeshpuri, Maharashtra in 1936. Considered to be an avadhut (a person born in a state of enlightenment), he displayed great detachment and rarely spoke.
