Aja Pujyar (named Raja Selvakumar) his original name was born on September 14, 1972, in Nagathasampatti village, Pennagaram taluk, Dharmapuri district, Tamil Nadu. He was the first child of agriculturalists Nanjappan and Kannayiram. He has three sisters—Pazhaniyammal, Sulochana, and Gowri Shobha—and a younger brother, Vinoth Kannan, who passed away in an accident while studying in the sixth grade. His father was also a food organizer. His grandfather, great-grandfather, and father were all prosperous and served as village heads (Nattamai). Naturally, Raja Selvakumar grew up with a sense of integrity and a dislike for caste and religious discrimination from a young age
As a child, Mr Aja Pujyar (Raja Selvakumar) was raised listening to stories of the Mahabharata, Ramayana, and the brave Vikramadithan, narrated by his mother and grandmother. These stories instilled in him a sense of bravery, integrity, and a desire to contribute to society. From a young age, he noticed discrimination in his own household. For instance, when farm workers from two different castes were given water in separate tumblers, he raised his voice against it, leading to a family argument that ultimately brought about change. Similarly, while studying history in the fifth or sixth grade, he read about Dr. Ambedkar’s early life, where he was made to sit on a gunny sack while higher-caste students had chairs. This deeply pained him, and from that day , he has advocated for a society free from caste and religious discrimination.
After completing his school education in his hometown, he studied from sixth to tenth grade
at Agraharam Higher Secondary School, Dharmapuri and completed his higher studies at
Pennagaram Government Higher Secondary School. In 1991, he pursued a degree in History
at Krishnagiri Government Arts College. Until then, his life had been ordinary, but during his
first year of college, his life took a turn when his brother, Vinoth Kannan, passed away in an
accident. During his college years, he served as the student cadet leader in the NCC and
obtained a 'C' certificate. He also excelled in sports, winning championships at the college
level. Additionally, he received over 150 days of military training through the NCC, guided by
army officers.
His sense of duty and integrity was instilled by his NCC officer and professor, Dr. Sethu
Ramakrishnan, whom he regarded as his first guru. In 1994 and 1995, he earned a degree in
Cooperative Management from Salem Nachiappar College. In 1995, he enrolled in the law
program (B.L.) at Visvesvaraya College in Bangalore, but his studies were interrupted when
his father passed away during his first year. Later, he completed his M.A. in History from
Madras University. Inspired to serve the public with integrity and duty, he aspired to become
a police officer. He trained in various arts, including earning a brown belt in karate, but fate
did not grant him a career in the police force
In his youth, like many others, he made minor mistakes, but his commitment to integrity and
duty remained strong. These experiences shaped him like a diamond, polished by society
and nature, guiding him toward wisdom.
During his college years, he was drawn to communist ideologies, the philosophies of Karl
Marx and Engels, and the French and Russian revolutions. For four or five years, he followed
the atheistic principles of E.V. Ramasamy (Periyar). He enjoyed observing things with keen
awareness, which led him to prioritize communist ideals while moving away from atheism to
embrace a rational spirituality. He read extensively about historical revolutionaries like
Buddha, Osho, Jesus Christ, Prophet Muhammad, and Lavater From divine to revolutionist
krishnar integrating their teachings into his life in a way that suited him, his time, and
society.
Starting in 1991, he embraced Yoga under the guidance of his guru, Yogachariya Sundaram.
Through the book “Sundara Yoga Therapy”, he learned yoga daily, mastering all asanas,
Nauli, and Uddiyana. He continues to practice yoga and maintain a strict diet as part of his
commitment to his well-being. Realizing that meditation is the next step after yoga asanas,
he understood that yoga is for physical health and meditation for mental health. He decided
to nurture both like two eyes, believing that mastering both would lead to wisdom, and he
continues to practice them diligently.
From 1997 onwards, he began farming intensively. During the years he practiced farming, there was a lack of adequate rainfall. He relied on both rainwater and groundwater for agriculture. In 1997, he fell in love with and married V. Nagamani, a fellow college student. At that time, he was also a pioneering farmer in the region. In 2006, he was elected as the village head of Billiyanur in the Tamil Nadu local body elections and served as the Panchayat President for ten years. During this period, he deeply understood the needs of the villages and worked diligently to fulfill the basic necessities of the people, earning their respect. However, during this time, he also observed various social issues such as inequality, lack of unity, corruption among leaders, class disparities, caste differences, and the division of people despite having one God. He began to ponder why, even though over 60% of the population is educated, such disparities persist in society. During his ten-year tenure as a leader, he maintained integrity, and due to sufficient government funds and the increasing needs of the public, he was able to carry out many social welfare activities. In the village of Kottulammarampatti, he constructed a government ration shop at his own expense, spending ₹3.15 lakhs. He also undertook several other projects for the village using his own funds, which eventually led him to sell his assets. Despite this, he earned the goodwill of the people and continued to serve as their leader. Before becoming a leader, he owned nine acres of land, which later reduced to six and a half acres as he sold 3.5 acres to repay debts. In his native village of Nagadasampatti, a middle school was unable to be established due to the lack of land. Upon learning this, he donated 50 cents of land worth over ₹1 crore (in today's value) to the government, enabling the construction of the school. Today, children from all castes and religions study there. He continues to engage in selfless social service to this day. During this period, he also married M. Malarvizhi, a government rural development department supervisor, as his second wife.
He has two wives namely V. Nagamani, M.A., D.COOP, and M. Malarvizhi, B.E. His children are S. Homana, M.L., Advocate; S. Swathi, B.A., B.L.; S. Sharveash Rajanish, B.A., B.L.; S. Teja Rajanish; and S. Vidura. All of them live harmoniously in Nagadasampatti village.
In 1991, after his younger brother passed away, the next day on his way to college, he unexpectedly walked into a bookstore in Krishnagiri. There, a book titled "The Birthplace of Wisdom" captivated him at first sight. he was then realized, it was Osho who had claimed him. Just as it is said in the Vedic era that a disciple cannot seek the guru, but the guru seeks the disciple, in the same way, from that day onward, Osho called and accepted him as his disciple. he too, chose Osho as his first spiritual guru and learned and experienced the meditation he taught. Through this, he realized within himself who he is, why he was created, and what his purpose is. he awakened and cultivated his virtues through meditation. he deeply understood that any kind of person can attain greatness and wisdom through meditation. Meditation and books alone did not fully fulfill him. Although meditation and books helped him to attain wisdom, his second gurus were his mother and wife. The lessons he learned from them were equivalent to the teachings of a guru in his spiritual journey. Thirdly, his friends, those who disliked him, and the general public—all the experiences he gained from them were equally valuable. By sharing what he had realized through meditation and living among people as fellow human beings, he was polished like a diamond, further refined, and attained wisdom (divine qualities) through meditation.
