By- Khushi Bisht

Thanjavur, previously Tanjore, is the capital of the Chola Kings, an ancient Indian kingdom. It is located in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. R. Rambhau Swami is a Hindu Monk from Thanjavur. The Fire Yogi, as the name implies, genuinely sits and lies on burning inferno and meditates in his own unique method.

Shri Rambha lives a down-to-earth life spending his days praying, meditating, and researching old books, giving counsel, and always remembering his guru (master). Since 1975, he has consumed two drops of water as a part of his regular prayer ritual, one banana, and one glass of milk twice a day. He only sleeps three hours a day and is still quite alert and energetic.

In 1961, he commenced his learning under the supervision of his Guru, devoting his life to the quest for wisdom and spirituality. He started his work as a scholar at Tanjore's world-renowned research library.
