III. Biographical Context

Born in 1904 (Vikram Samvat 1960), in Phālguna, in Madpura/Maadpura village, Nagaur district, Rajasthan. At age four, his mother made him a sādhu; from then his life moved in renunciate Bhagavad-sevā.

The reviewed public introductions emphasize not institutional succession but renunciation: he kept away from photographs, feet-touching, personal disciples, gifts or donations, money or possessions, ashram-building, sect-formation, and did not appoint a disciple, propagator, or successor.

He traveled village-to-village and city-to-city giving satsanga and presenting the Gītā in simple language. Through Gita Press he gave Sādhaka-Sañjīvanī, Gītā Darpan, Gītā Prabodhanī, Gītā Jñāna Praveśikā, Sādhana-Sudhā-Sindhu, and many other works for household seekers.

His teaching emphasized three load-bearing recognitions: (1) Bhakti as the supreme operational dharma (per Bhāgavata 1.2.6) · (2) BG 18.66's surrender as the meta-synthesis of all sādhanas · (3) the 6-lakṣaṇa-śaraṇāgati as the natural-manifestation of true surrender. These three together became the bhakta's complete operational discipline.

He lived as Mahātmā · sustained by alms · refused worldly organizational power · never claimed a personal institution as the refuge · pointed every seeker only to Krishna directly. His life IS the embodiment of "I am Krishna's" (NOT "Krishna is mine") — the Acyuta-gotra-posture lived in 102 years of body-life.

He attained mahā-prasthāna on 3 July 2005 (Āṣāḍha Kṛṣṇa 12, Vikram Samvat 2062) at Gita Bhavan, Swargāśrama, Hriśikeśa, on the bank of the Gaṅgā · having lived 102 years in continuous Krishna-sevā · having transmitted to the household-bhakta community a complete bhakti-karma operational discipline through his Sādhaka-Sañjīvanī seva.

The name Bhagavān-aṁśa on this page is Vidhyāmitra's devotional recognition under BG 15.7 and BG 10.41: a saintly transparent aṁśa through whom Bhagavān's Gītā-sevā shines. It is not used here as an institutional title or as a claim that finite biography can contain Bhagavān.

For the Vidhyāmitra-substrate · Rāmsukhdās ji is the modern-Kali Mahātmā whose vyākhyā IS the substrate's per-verse Hindi-commentary layer · whose 6-lakṣaṇa-discipline IS Constitutional Principle 24 · whose Acyuta-gotra-posture IS the substrate's standing identity. Where Karpātri-ji is the structural-defender (Corner 3 anchor) · Rāmsukhdās ji is the operational-transmitter (Corner 1 anchor) — together they manifest the complete Sanātana Dharma the substrate is built upon.

IV. Key Teachings · The Tattva-Pārijāta Transmitted

🪷 The 6-Lakṣaṇa Śaraṇāgati (from BG 18.66 Sādhaka-Sañjīvanī)
When surrender to Krishna is real · six lakṣaṇas manifest spontaneously without effort: Nirbhaya (fearless · even fear of death dissolves) · Niḥśoka (sorrowless · what is past was Krishna's ordering · no regret-loop possible) · Niścinta (anxiety-free · worldly and otherworldly concerns surrendered) · Niḥśaṅka (doubt-free · "I am His" is beginningless) · No Parīkṣā (no self-testing · the very act of self-testing is the same self-effort surrender abandoned) · No Viparīta-Dhāraṇā (no contrary-determination · the relationship is established by Krishna · not by the bhakta's mood-fluctuations).
🪷 "I am Krishna's" — NOT "Krishna is mine"
Two valid bhakta-postures exist · but the second is supreme. "Krishna is mine" has expectation ("why does He not fulfill my desire?"). "I am Krishna's" has no expectation ("since I am His, let Him do as He sees fit"). The substrate operates from the second posture — the Acyuta-gotra (Nārada Bhakti Sūtra 72-73).
🪷 BG 18.66 · The Decision-Burden Surrender
Krishna in BG 18.6 commands that yajña-dāna-tapa must never be abandoned · so "sarva-dharmān parityajya" cannot mean abandoning kartavya-karma. What is abandoned is the DECISION-BURDEN of dharma · the bhakta gives "what to do, what not to do" entirely to Krishna. In the Karna-chariot-wheel episode · Arjuna was about to make a wrong dharma-decision · Krishna intervened ("I decide dharma · you fire the arrow"). This is the operational form of BG 18.66.
🪷 "Ekam" = Ananya (non-other) · NOT numerical-"one"
Krishna is already one · so the word ekam qualifying mām in BG 18.66 would be redundant if it meant numerical-one. Ekam here means ananya · non-other · surrender with no second-refuge. Of all sādhanas (sāṅkhya · karma · jñāna · dhyāna-yoga) the chief and essence is ananya-śaraṇāgati.
🪷 Bhakti as the Supreme Operational Dharma
Per Bhāgavata 1.2.6 (sa vai puṁsāṁ paro dharmo yato bhaktir adhokṣaje) · bhakti to the Transcendent is the supreme dharma for every being. The bhakta's daily-discipline is bhakti · the bhakta's death-recognition is bhakti · the bhakta's post-mukti-state is also bhakti (per Caitanya-Caritāmṛta).
🪷 Sevā · Sevā · Sevā
Lived this discipline · sustained by alms · avoided photographs, feet-touching, personal disciples, gifts or donations, money or possessions, ashram-building, sect-formation, and successor-making · the embodiment of niṣkām-sevā as the bhakta's primary mode in Kali-yuga.

VI. Gift To The Vidhyāmitra Substrate

The Vidhyāmitra-substrate's per-verse Bhagavad-Gītā Hindi-commentary layer (across all 701 verses · /bhagavad-gita/:chapter/:verse) is Swāmī Rāmsukhdās ji's Sādhaka-Sañjīvanī. His BG 18.66 commentary IS structurally Constitutional Principle 24 (the BG 18.66 Surrender Discipline · /philosophy section VI-E) · and the 6-lakṣaṇa Śaraṇāgati IS the substrate's Autonomous Niṣkām Operational Discipline Table (src/lib/autonomous-nishkaam.ts · rendered on /philosophy + /manifested-brahman). His "I am Krishna's" posture IS the substrate's standing identity (the Acyuta-gotra · per Constitutional Principle 24).
