==Birth and early life==
[[File:Shachidevi Mishra.png|thumb|150 px|alt=Shachidevi Mishra|An old photograph of Shachidevi Mishra, mother of Rambhadracharya]]
Jagadguru Rambhadracharya was born in a [[Saryupareen Brahmin]] family of the [[Vasishtha]] ''[[Gotra]]'' (lineage of the sage Vasishtha) in Shandikhurd village in the [[Jaunpur district]], Uttar Pradesh, India. He was born at 10:34&nbsp;pm on Saturday, 14&nbsp;January&nbsp;1950 ([[Magha (month)|Magha]] Krishna [[Ekadashi]]), during the [[Makar Sankranti]] festival, under the [[Anuradha (nakshatra)|Anuradha]] constellation.<ref name="tripathi94"/><ref name="bhartiyapaksha"/><ref name="nagarearlylife">Nagar 2002, pp. 37–53.</ref><ref name="aicb-p66">Aneja 2005, p. 66.</ref> Born to mother Shachidevi and father Pandit Rajdev Mishra, he was named ''Giridhar'' by his great aunt, a paternal cousin of his paternal grandfather, Pandit Suryabali Mishra. The great aunt was a devotee of [[Mirabai]], a female saint of the [[Bhakti movement|Bhakti era]] in medieval India, who used the name ''Giridhar'' to address the god [[Krishna]] in her compositions.<ref name="kkbvp"/><ref name="dinkarearlylife">Dinkar 2008, pp. 22–24.</ref>

===Loss of eyesight===
Giridhar lost his eyesight at the age of two months. On 24&nbsp;March&nbsp;1950, his eyes were infected by [[trachoma]]. There were no advanced facilities for treatment in the village, so he was taken to an elderly woman in a nearby village who was known to cure trachoma boils to provide relief. The woman applied a paste of myrobalan to Giridhar's eyes to burst the lumps, but his eyes started bleeding, resulting in the loss of his eyesight.<ref name="bhartiyapaksha"/><ref name="nagarearlylife"/><ref name="aicb-p66"/> His family took him to the King George Hospital in [[Lucknow]], where his eyes were treated for 21 days, but his sight could not be restored.<ref name="nagarearlylife"/> Various [[Ayurvedic]], [[Homeopathic]], [[Allopathic]], and other practitioners were approached in [[Sitapur]], Lucknow, and [[Bombay]], but to no avail.<ref name="dinkarearlylife"/> Rambhadracharya has been blind ever since. He cannot read or write, as he does not use [[Braille]]; he learns by listening and composes by dictating to scribes.<ref name="aicb-p67"/>

===Childhood accident===

In June 1953, at a juggler's monkey dance show in the village, the children—including Giridhar—suddenly ran away when the monkey began to touch them. Giridhar fell into a small dry well and was trapped for some time, until a teenage girl rescued him.<ref name="nagarearlylife"/> His grandfather told him that his life was saved because he had learned the following line of a verse in the [[Ramcharitmanas]] (1.192.4), from the episode of the manifestation of the god [[Rama]]:<ref name="nagarearlylife"/><ref>Prasad 1999, p. 133.</ref>

{{Quote|Those who sing this lay attain to the feet of Hari (Vishnu) and never fall into the well of birth and death.}}
</center>
Giridhar's grandfather asked him to recite the verse always, and from then on, Giridhar has followed the practice of reciting it every time he takes water or food.<ref name="nagarearlylife"/>

===First composition===
Giridhar's initial education came from his paternal grandfather, as his father worked in Bombay. In the afternoons, his grandfather would narrate to him various episodes of the Hindu epics Ramayana and [[Mahabharata]], and devotional works like ''Vishramsagar'', ''Sukhsagar'', ''Premsagar'', and ''Brajvilas''. At the age of three, Giridhar composed his first piece of poetry—in Awadhi (a dialect of Hindi)—and recited it to his grandfather. In this verse, Krishna's foster mother [[Yashoda]] is fighting with a [[Gopi]] (milkmaid) for hurting Krishna.<ref name="nagarearlylife"/><ref name="dinkarearlylife"/>

|}

===Mastering Gita and Ramcharitmanas===
At the age of five, Giridhar memorised the entire [[Bhagavad Gita]], consisting of around 700&nbsp;verses with chapter and verse numbers, in 15&nbsp;days, with the help of his neighbour, Pandit Murlidhar Mishra. On [[Janmashtami]] day in 1955, he recited the entire Bhagavad Gita.<ref name="bhartiyapaksha"/><ref name="outlook"/><ref name="nagarearlylife"/><ref name="dinkarearlylife"/><ref name="parauha"/> He released the first Braille version of the scripture, with the original Sanskrit text and a Hindi commentary, at New Delhi on 30&nbsp;November&nbsp;2007, 52&nbsp;years after memorising the Gita.<ref name="Zee-2007"/><ref name="ANN-2007"/> When Giridhar was seven, he memorised the entire Ramcharitmanas of Tulsidas, consisting of around 10,900&nbsp;verses with chapter and verse numbers, in 60&nbsp;days, assisted by his grandfather. On [[Rama Navami]] day in 1957, he recited the entire epic while fasting.<ref name="bhartiyapaksha"/><ref name="nagarearlylife"/><ref name="dinkarearlylife"/><ref name="parauha"/> Later, Giridhar went on to memorise the [[Veda]]s, the [[Upanishads]], works of Sanskrit grammar, the [[Bhagavata Purana]], all the works of Tulsidas, and many other works in [[Sanskrit literature|Sanskrit]] and [[Indian literature|Indian]] literature.<ref name="outlook"/><ref name="dinkarearlylife"/>

===Upanayana and Katha discourses===

Giridhar's ''[[Upanayana]]'' (sacred thread ceremony) was performed on [[:hi:??????? ??????|Nirjala Ekadashi]] (the Ekadashi falling in the bright half of the lunar month of [[Jyeshtha]]) of 24 June 1961. On this day, besides being given the [[Gayatri Mantra]], he was initiated (given ''[[Diksha]]'') into the [[mantra]] of Rama by Pandit Ishvardas Maharaj of [[Ayodhya]]. Having mastered the Bhagavad Gita and Ramcharitmanas at a very young age, Giridhar started visiting the ''[[Katha (storytelling format)|Katha]]'' programmes held near his village once every three years in the [[Intercalation|intercalary]] month of ''[[Hindu calendar#Extra months|Purushottama]]''. The third time he attended, he presented a ''Katha'' on Ramcharitmanas, which was acclaimed by several famous exponents of the ''Katha'' art.<ref name="dinkarearlylife"/>

===Discrimination by family===

When Giridhar was eleven, he was stopped from joining his family in a wedding procession. His family thought that his presence would be a bad omen for the marriage.<ref name="nagarearlylife"/><ref name="aicb-p66"/> This incident left a strong impression on Giridhar; he says at the beginning of his autobiography:<ref>Nagar 2002, p. 37.</ref>

{{Quote|I am the same person who was considered to be inauspicious for accompanying a marriage party.&nbsp;... I am the same person who currently inaugurates the biggest of marriage parties or welfare ceremonies. What is all this? It is all due to the grace of God which turns a straw into a ''[[vajra]]'' and a ''vajra'' into a straw.}}

==Formal education==
===Schooling===
[[File:JagadguruRamabhadracharya009.jpg|thumb|180 px|alt=Young Giridhar Mishra|A young Giridhar Mishra in an undated photo]]
Although Giridhar did not have any formal schooling, he studied a great deal as a child. His family wished him to become a ''Kathavachak'' (a ''Katha'' artist) but Giridhar wanted to pursue his studies. His father explored possibilities for his education in [[Varanasi]] and thought of sending him to a special school for blind students. Giridhar's mother refused to send him there, saying that blind children were not treated well at the school.<ref name="aicb-p66"/> On 7&nbsp;July&nbsp;1967 Giridhar joined the Adarsh Gaurishankar Sanskrit College in the nearby Sujanganj village of Jaunpur to study Sanskrit ''[[Vyakarana]]'' (grammar), Hindi, English, Maths, History, and Geography.<ref name="dinkaredu">Dinkar 2008, pp. 25–27.</ref> In his autobiography he recalls this day as the day when the "Golden Journey" of his life began.<ref>Nagar 2002, p. 55.</ref> With an ability to memorise material by listening to it just once, Giridhar has not used Braille or other aids to study.<ref name="aicb-p67"/> In three months, he had memorised and mastered the entire ''Laghusiddh?ntakaumud?'' of [[Varadar?ja|Varadaraja]].<ref name="dinkaredu"/> He was top of his class for four years, and passed the ''Uttara Madhyama'' (higher secondary) examination in Sanskrit with first class and distinction.<ref name="parauha"/>

;First Sanskrit composition

At the Adarsh Gaurishankar Sanskrit College, Giridhar learnt the eight ''[[Sanskrit prosody#Ga?a|Ganas]]'' of Sanskrit prosody while studying ''Chandaprabh?'', a work on Sanskrit prosody. The next day, he composed his first Sanskrit verse, in the ''Bhuja?gapray?ta'' metre.<ref name="dinkaredu"/>

===Graduation and masters===
In 1971 Giridhar enrolled at the [[Sampurnanand Sanskrit University]] in Varanasi for higher studies in ''Vyakarana''.<ref name="dinkaredu"/> He topped the final examination for the ''Shastri'' (Bachelor of Arts)<ref name="gupta-kumar-ssu">Gupta and Kumar 2006, p. 745.</ref> degree in 1974, and then enrolled for the ''Acharya'' (Master of Arts)<ref name="gupta-kumar-ssu"/> degree at the same institute.<ref name="aicb-p67"/> While pursuing his master's degree, he visited New Delhi to participate in various national competitions at the All-India Sanskrit Conference, where he won five out of the eight gold medals—in ''Vyakarana'', ''[[Samkhya]]'', ''[[Nyaya]]'', ''[[Vedanta]]'', and Sanskrit ''[[Antakshari]]''.<ref name="kbs-bio"/><ref name="aicb-p67"/> [[Indira Gandhi]], then Prime Minister of India, presented the five gold medals, along with the ''Chalvaijayanti'' trophy for Uttar Pradesh, to Giridhar.<ref name="parauha"/> Impressed by his abilities, Gandhi offered to send him at her own expense to the United States for treatment for his eyes, but Giridhar turned down this offer, replying with an extemporaneous Sanskrit verse.<ref name="aicb-p67"/><ref>Nagar 2002, p. 72.</ref>

In 1976 Giridhar topped the final ''Acharya'' examinations in ''Vyakarana'', winning seven gold medals and the Chancellor's gold medal.<ref name="parauha"/> In a rare achievement, although he had only enrolled for a master's degree in ''Vyakarana'', he was declared ''Acharya'' of all subjects taught at the university on 30&nbsp;April&nbsp;1976.<ref name="aicb-p67"/>

===Doctorate and post-doctorate===

He is seated in the ''[[Sukhasana]]'' pose with fingers folded in the ''[[Mudra#Basic mudr?: Chin Mudr?|Chin Mudra]]''.]]
After completing his master's degree, Giridhar enrolled for the doctoral ''Vidyavaridhi'' (PhD)<ref name="Bhuyan-2002">Bhuyan 2002, p. 245.</ref> degree at the same institute, under Pandit Ramprasad Tripathi.<ref name="aicb-p67"/> He received a research fellowship from the [[University Grants Commission (India)|University Grants Commission]] (UGC), but even so, he faced financial hardship in these years.<ref name="aicb-p67"/> With great difficulty, he completed his ''Vidyavaridhi'' degree in Sanskrit grammar on 14 October 1981.<ref name="aicb-p67"/> His dissertation was titled ''Adhy?tmar?m?ya?e Ap??in?yaprayog?n?? Vimar?a?'', or ''Deliberation on the non-[[P??ini|Paninian]] usages in the [[Adhyatma Ramayana]]''. On completion of his doctorate, the UGC offered him the position of head of the ''Vyakarana'' department of the Sampurnanand Sanskrit University. However, Giridhar did not accept; he decided to devote his life to the service of religion, society, and the disabled.<ref name="aicb-p67"/>

On 9 May 1997, Giridhar (now known as Rambhadracharya) was awarded the post-doctorate ''Vachaspati'' (DLitt)<ref name="gupta-kumar-ssu"/><ref name="Bhuyan-2002"/> degree by Sampurnanand Sanskrit University for his Sanskrit dissertation ''A???dhy?yy?? Pratis?tra? ??bdabodhasam?k?a?am'', or ''Investigation into verbal knowledge of every [[Sutra|S?tra]] of the Ashtadhyayi''. The degree was presented to him by [[K. R. Narayanan]], then President of India.<ref>Nagar 2002, p. 89.</ref> In this work, Rambhadracharya explained each aphorism of the grammar of Panini in Sanskrit verses.<ref name="dinkaredu"/>

In 1987 Rambhadradas established a religious and social service institution called '''Tulsi Peeth''' (The seat of [[Tulsi]]) in Chitrakoot, where, according to the Ramayana, Rama had spent twelve out of his fourteen years of exile.<ref name="the-eye"/> As the founder of the seat, the title of ''?r?citrak??atulas?p??h?dh??vara'' (literally, ''the Lord of the Tulsi Peeth at Chitrakoot'') was bestowed upon him by [[Sadhu]]s and intellectuals. In the Tulsi Peeth, he arranged for a temple devoted to Rama and his consort [[Sita]] to be constructed, which is known as ''Kanch Mandir'' ("glass temple").<ref name="the-eye"/>

===Post of Jagadguru Ramanandacharya===
Rambhadradas was chosen as the ''Jagadguru Ramanandacharya'' seated at the Tulsi Peeth by the Kashi Vidwat Parishad in Varanasi on 24&nbsp;June&nbsp;1988.<ref name="dinkarjagadguru"/> On 3&nbsp;February&nbsp;1989, at the ''[[Kumbh Mela]]'' in Allahabad, the appointment was unanimously supported by the ''[[Mahant]]s'' of the three ''[[Akhara]]s'', the four sub-''[[Sampradaya]]s'', the ''[[Khalsa]]s'' and saints of the Ramananda Sampradaya.<ref>Agarwal 2010, p. 781.</ref> On 1 August 1995 he was ritually anointed as the ''Jagadguru Ramanandacharya'' in Ayodhya by the Digambar Akhara.<ref name="kbs-bio"/> Thereafter he was known as ''Jagadguru Ramanandacharya Swami Rambhadracharya''.<ref name="nagar125">Nagar 2002, p. 125.</ref>

===Deposition in the Ayodhya case===

In July&nbsp;2003 Rambhadracharya deposed as an expert witness for religious matters (OPW 16) in Other Original Suit Number&nbsp;5 of the [[Ayodhya dispute|Ram Janmabhoomi Babri Masjid dispute]] case in the [[Allahabad High Court]].<ref name="Sharma-2003"/><ref name="Mid-day-2003-07-17"/><ref name="Mid-day-2003-07-21"/> Some portions of his affidavit and cross examination are quoted in the final judgement by the High Court.<ref name="rjbm-sa-verdict">Agarwal 2010, pp. 304, 309, 780–788, 1103–1110, 2004–2005, 4447, 4458–4459, 4537, 4891–4894, 4996.</ref><ref>Sharma 2010, pp. 21, 31.</ref><ref>Sharma 2010, p. 273.</ref> In his affidavit, he cited the ancient Hindu scriptures including the Ramayana, ''R?mat?pan?ya Upani?ad'', [[Skanda Purana]], [[Yajurveda]], [[Atharvaveda]], and others describing Ayodhya as a city holy to Hindus and the birthplace of Rama. He cited verses from two works composed by Tulsidas which, in his opinion, are relevant to the dispute. The first citation consisted of eight verses from a work called ''Doh? ?ataka'', which describe the destruction of a temple and construction of a mosque at the disputed site in 1528&nbsp;CE by [[Mughal emperors|Mughal]] ruler [[Babur]], who had ordered General Mir Baqui to destroy the Rama temple, considered a symbol of worship by infidels.<ref name="Mid-day-2003-07-17"/> The second citation was a verse from a work called ''Kavit?val?'', which mentions a mosque.<ref name="rjbm-sa-verdict"/> In his cross examination, he described in some detail the history of the Ramananda sect, its ''[[Matha]]s'', rules regarding ''Mahants'', formation and working of ''Akharas'', and Tulsidas' works.<ref name="rjbm-sa-verdict"/> Refuting the possibility of the original temple being to the north of the disputed area, as pleaded by the pro-mosque parties, he described the boundaries of the ''Janmabhoomi'' as mentioned in the ''Ayodhya Mahatmya'' section of Skanda Purana, which tallied with the present location of the disputed area, as noted by Justice Sudhir Agarwal.<ref name="rjbm-sa-verdict"/> However, he stated that he had no knowledge of whether there was a ''Ram Chabootra'' ("Platform of Rama") outside the area that was locked from 1950 to 1985 and where the ''Chati Poojan Sthal'' was, nor whether the idols of Rama, his brother [[Lakshmana]], and Sita were installed at ''Ram Chabootra'' outside the ''Janmabhoomi'' temple.<ref name="Mid-day-2003-07-17"/>

===Multilingualism===

Rambhadracharya can speak 22 languages<ref name="kkbvp"/><ref name="dinkar-polyglot"/> including Sanskrit, Hindi, English, French, [[Bhojpuri language|Bhojpuri]], [[Maithili language|Maithili]], [[Oriya language|Oriya]], [[Gujarati language|Gujarati]], [[Punjabi language|Punjabi]], [[Marathi language|Marathi]], [[Magahi language|Magadhi]], Awadhi, and [[Braj Bhasha|Braj]].<ref name="bhartiyapaksha"/> He has composed poems and literary works in many Indian languages, including Sanskrit, Hindi, and Awadhi.<ref name="speakerloksabha"/><ref name="bhartiyapaksha"/> He has translated many of his works of poetry and prose into other languages.

The Ramcharitmanas was composed by Tulsidas in the late sixteenth century.

In November&nbsp;2009, Rambhadracharya was accused of tampering with the epic,<ref name="toi-fia"/><ref name="dispute-deepens"/> but the dispute died down after Rambhadracharya expressed his regret for any annoyance or pain caused by the publication.<ref name="saints-calm-down"/> A writ petition was also filed against him but it was dismissed.<ref name="rcm-judgement"/> This edition was published in 2005 by Shri Tulsi Peeth Seva Nyas.<ref name="dinkarbiblio"/><ref name="nagar89"/>
