He listened to epicsof Ramayana and other scriptures from his mother. During this time the first seed of spiritualism was sown in him.

Travelling extensively in India and abroad, he preaches the message of Vedanta, Yoga, divine love, Bhakti (devotion), and Mukti (salvation) through his teachings and Satsangs.

Asumal displayed his phenominal memory at the young age of three.During the Indo-Pak partition his family had to migrate from Sindh to Maninagar near Ahmedabad, in Gujarat.

Asumal joined the school in Maninagar.Six year old Asumal was clever in studies and always used to sit under a tree for meditaion during the recess time,when other students used to platy The school staff praised Asumal for being pure-hearted and intelligent.Teachers used to call him Hansmukh (smiling face).

Mother Mehgiba developed his interest in meditation and prayers right from his early childhood.Asumal would keep sitting in deep meditation for long hours in a small room.

Asumal had to discontinue his schooling and shoulder on the family's responsibility along with his elder brother,since he lost his father at early age.After his father's demise Asumal's discrimination towards life intensified.

He soon realized that God is the only essence of life. His concentration increased greatly due to regular, pure meditation. No one could stop the fire of renunciation that was enveloping him completely. As Asumal grew into youth his meditation and search for Truth intensified.

Later on,his family fixed a date of his marriage but he ran away from his home few days before the marriage.He was then traced in Ashok Ashram in Bharuch and took him back to home. After reaching home Aasumal was married to Lakshmi Devi.

Aasumal told his wife that his ultimate goal is to self realise. He made her understand that he'll come back to home for a normal life after getting the state of self realisation.

After leaving his dominions, Asumal went from place to place and at nights slept on the grass, homeless and alone.Asumal then went to Vrindavan, the land of Lord Krishna. Here he was inspired to goto the ashram of the Guru, Swami Sri Lilashahji Maharaj. He had to wait for 40 days in the Ashram to get the glimpse of the Guru.

Asumal reached Bombay Mumbai and met Guru Swami Sri Lilashahji Maharaj.Swami Sri Lilashahji Maharaj was very happy to see his disciple's keen interest to attain the truth.Then on 2nd Day of Ashwin month in Samvat 2021 at 2.30pm in the afternoon,Asumal was transformed into Asaram Bapu by the blessings of Swami Sri Lilashahji Maharaj.
