Kavi Yogi Maharishi Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati (11 May 1897 – 7 March 1990) was an Indian philosopher and poet. His teachings are focused mainly on the search for God in Self, through the Sama Yoga practice he created.

Biography

Bharati was born in Sivaganga in South India, and attained Jeeva Samadhi in nearby Sholapuram. He spent 25 years in silence in Pondicherry from 1925 to 1950, in the Ashram of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother Mirra Alfassa. From the early 1950s to the 1970s, he lived in today's Yogi Gardens, beside the IIT near Adyar, Chennai. Bharati always lived alone, without an Ashram. He founded Shuddhananda Bharati Desiya Vidyalayam High School in 1979.

Several of Bharati's disciples contributed to the construction of the main building of the school at Sholapuram in 1992.

Works

Bharati wrote over 250 published works: 173 in Tamil, fifty in English, ten in French, four in Hindi and three in Telugu. He was also conversational in Sanskrit, Kannada, Malayalam and Urdu. He is the first translator to have done both verse and prose renderings of the Tirukkural into English. He also translated the novels of Victor Hugo, the plays of Moliere and Racine, and Dante's Divine Comedy into Tamil.

In his magnum opus Bharata Shakti, Bharati describes his ideal of "One humanity living in communion with a single God in a world transformed". The full work includes epic texts, lyrical dramas, operas, comedies, pastoral novels, news, biographies, comments on illustrated works, essays, poems in French corrected directly by the Mother, Sacred Odes, walks, Rondels and triplets. For this work, Bharati received the Raja Rajan Award from the Tamil University in Tanjore in 1984, conferring upon him the title of Doctor of Literature.

His autobiography, The Pilgrim Soul includes encounters with well-known personalities of the past century, including Annie Besant, Sri Aurobindo, Meher Baba, Shirdi Sai Baba, V. V. S. Aiyar,Sri Sacchidananda Shivabhinava Narasimha Bharati, Ramana Maharshi, C. V. Raman, Subramanya Bharathi, Sivananda, Romain Rolland, Jean Herbert and others.
