Shri Yogiram SurathKumar was also well known among his devotees as Visiri Samiyar especially with his followers from Tamil Nadu.
He was born in the year 1918 on the first day in the month of December. His birth place was a small village lying near the banks of the river Ganges.
Shri Yogiram wanted to travel far and wide in order to become a disciple of some great swamijis. Hence in the year 1947 he started on a religious mission towards the south.
He was blessed by Shri Aurobindo Ghose, Shri Ramana Maharishi and Shri Ramdas Swamigal with the divine power of wisdom.

Though he was born at a village near Kashi, he spent his spiritual life at Tiruvannamalai, the abode of Lord Arunachalaeswar.
He had regular devotees visiting every day seeking his divine blessings. Later, he moved to Aghrahara Sholai to continue his divine services. Shri Yogiram attained siddhi at this ashram in the year 2001 peacefully.

This ashram is located on a four acres land that is within the limits of Tiruvannamalai town.
