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.
Bharati was born in Sivaganga in South India and died in Sholapuram near Sivaganga. He founded his Shuddhananda Bharati Desiya Vidyalayam High School in 1979.
He spent 25 years in silence whilst at Pondicherry, from 1925 to 1950, in the Ashram of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother Mirra Alfassa.
Bharati always lived alone, without an Ashram, stating that:
His single disciple, S. Ram Bharati (17.07.1944 - 23.10.2003), contributed to the construction of the main building of the school at Sholapuram in 1992, and to broadcast the pursuit of the ideals of Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati to Christiananda Bharati (Christian Piaget) who works to spread the message of Kavi Yogi Maharishi Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati.
In 1984 the Raja Rajan Award was given to Bharati by the Tamil University in Tanjore, effectively proffering the honor of Doctor of Literature.
The title Shuddhananda (pure bliss) was given to him by his friend Jnana Siddha.
The Sringeri Jagadguru gave him the name of Kavi Yogi Bharati
Sivananda conferred on him the title of Maharishi (great visionary).
Bharati's ideals are found in the teachings of Sama Yoga, a system that he founded. It is a synthesis of material science and spiritual yoga. Sama Yoga is also the basis of a future spiritual socialism according to Sivananda.
Through his writings, Bharati attempts to demonstrate the manner in which the divine was woven throughout his life.
His magnum opus Bharata Shakti is a monumental and unique work, a book for all ages say Sivananda in which Bharati describes his ideal:
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.
His autobiography, The Pilgrim Soul includes encounters with great figures of the past century, including Annie Besant, Sri Aurobindo, Meher Baba, Shirdi Sai Baba, V. V. S. Aiyar, Sringeri Sharada Peetham, Ramana Maharshi, C. V. Raman, Subramanya Bharathi, Sivananda, Romain Rolland, Jean Herbert and many others.
