Ram Charan (Hindi: राम चारण) (1720–1799)[1][2]) is the Rajasthani Hindu guru, inspirator of a religious tradition called Ramsnehi Sampradaya or Ramdwara.

Ram Charan was born in Sodha, a village in the Tonk district of Rajasthan on 24 February 1720 (Māgh Shukla 14 in Bikram Samwat 1776).

[citation needed] Ram Charan began to lose interest in materialism after his father's death in 1743 AD.

[3] The next day, he got permission from his family indirectly to leave home forever and began his quest to know God and find a perfect spiritual Guru in 1808 Bikram Samwat.

Finally, he found the saint "Kripa Ram" in Dantra village near Shahpura in Bhilwara district of Rajasthan.

He visited many places, explaining his experience and advising people to eliminate "show", blind faith, hypocrisy and misleading teachings in the Hindu religion.

He came to Bhilwara in 1817 (Bikram Samwat)and selected one lonely place named Miya Chand's bawri ( Step Well) for tapasya.

Following Maharaj Ji, it is only necessary to engage in spiritual practices, at one's own place, with proper and essential guidance of one's Guru.

His collection in "Anubhav Vaani" is considered to be biggest religious book written on the teaching of any saint.

The remaining ones were noted, collected and edited by his disciple Ram Jan Ji Maharaj (who also succeeded him as the head of the 'Ramsnehi Sampradaya' after his death).

Since this compilation, due to its large size, was found to be difficult for an individual to use, various smaller one were released, with at least one being published, by Sant LakshyaRam in Bikram Samwat 2015, on Vijayadashami day, from 'Chhatribagh' Ramdwara at Indore as 'Ram Rahasya Darshan'.
