A Short Biography of Sri AjayBhai Yagnik:Sri Ajaybhai Yagnikji was born on 17th Sept 1957 in a middle class Gujarati family of late Shri Vaikunthnathji Nagar and Smt. Laxmi Nagar near the banks of river Ganga in Daraganj, Allahabad. His first brush with Shri RamCharit Manas happened under the devotional guidance of his Grandfather Pujya Shri Vishwanathji Nagar. The seed of bhakti and unwavering belief was sown in the heart of Yagnikji at a very young age by his Guru and his Grandfather which today has grown into a “Kalpa Vriksha” with its roots firmly grounded in the hearts of people across the world.

After completing M.Com in 1979 from Allahabad University, Yagnikji shifted to New Delhi and attended weekly meetings of Manas Parishad, an organization devoted to the cause of spreading the message of Ramayan. This was the place where people heard the melodious voice of Yagnikji for the first time. A little later, Yagnikji heard the discourses by Shri. Murari Bapu.  Bapuji’s rendering increased his faith in the philosophy of Shri RamCharit Manas. By 1998, Yagnikji became fully devoted to Shri Hanuman ji and decided to leave his job and dedicate himself to the cause. His ultimate aim, is to contribute to the Indian Culture, values and tradition. From there his journey of Hanuman Bhakti has continued uninterrupted throughout the world. Yagnikji has not only spread the message of Shrimad Sundarakanda in India but also in Mauritius, Rwanda, Singapore, Malaysia, US Canada, UK and has been greeted cordially and respectfully by our Indian brothers and sisters living in foreign lands.

One of the most important aspects of his journey has been that Yagnikji has sung and presented Srimad Sundara kanda in almost all the famous and “Siddha” Hanuman temples across India. In addition to it, he has also been blessed and praised by eminent Saints and Kathakars of the country namely; Param pujya Gurusharnananji Maharaj, Pujaya Bhaishree(Shri Ramesh Bhai Ozha), Pujya Shri Dharmendraji Maharaj, Pujya Shri Adhyatmanadaji Maharaj, Sadhvi Ritumbhara, Pujya Shri Vijay Kaushal ji Maharaj. Institutions and organization such as Shri Bhagwat Pariwar, Bharat Vikas Parishad, – Mumbai, Mahakavi Nirala Sanskiti Sansthan – Prayag and Ganesh Shankar Patrakarita Shodha Sansthan and Ravindra bhavan – Bhopal, have also honored Yagnikji.

At the lotus feet of Shri Hanumanji we wish Yagnikji’s journey of Shimad Sundarakanda and Hanumant deep Yagya continues forever.
