There was all kinds of fun in the house since your birth, so you were named Mauji Ram by the family. After the death of your parents in your childhood, you were brought up in the house of your aunt Morni Devi in Delhi. On December 23, 1912, during a revolutionary event with the British rulers in Delhi, Mauji Ram took a vow that if his life is saved today, he will take initiation. On August 16, 1914, at Bamnauli, taking initiation at the feet of Gurudev Chhote Lal ji and Nathu Lal ji, the boy Mauji Ram became Madan Muni.
