Shri Suresh ji was born to Shri Natwar bhai and Yashoda ben in a Patidar family in a small town of Kotda in Banswara district, Rajasthan (India). In his early childhood, he was highly interested in the practice of Yoga, Spiritual Literature and the Service to the Nation. Therefore, after completing his college education, he decided not to get married but renounced his home and family for the service of the nation and for his own spiritual quest.

As a fortunate result of 6 years of un-faltered service to the nation, he came across the literature on Shrimad Rajchandra and eventually a connection with “Pujya Shri Atmanand ji” – A spiritual yogi and follower of Shrimad ji’s thoughts.

An ardent disciple, he was highly impressed by the multifaceted broad-based personality of Pujya Shri Atmanand ji (fondly known as Pujya Saheb ji) and dedicated his life to the lotus feet of Pujya Saheb ji. This initiation and his intensified sadhana brought him very close to Pujya Saheb ji and followed his commands during the last 15 years. Under the guidance of Pujya Saheb ji, he studied various scriptures, stayed in contact with other celibates and stayed in solitude at various religious places.

He studied various Jain scriptures deeply with contemplation and meditation achieving highly elevated purity of thought and soul. His ability to present the intricacies and deep meaning of scriptures in most simple manner while keeping focus on spirituality has inspired Sadhak’s from all age groups.

He is fervently dedicated to the Koba Ashram. He has presented over 3000 swadhyays (discourses) and is a prolific writer. Many aspirants local and foreign, take advantage of his swadhyays daily and regularly.

Today, Adarniya Shri Suresh ji provides spiritual guidance to aspirants, residents and visitors associated with Koba Ashram from across the globe. He is the head of the Spiritual Department of the Ashram, and he has become the center & base of spiritual progress for many mumukshu’s (aspirants).
