  • Bhagwanji, also known as Gumnami Baba( (lit. 'Baba with no name'), was an ascetic who had lived approximately last thirty years of his life in various parts of Uttar Pradesh, a state in Northern India. His most remarkable trait was his undying commitment towards remaining incognito. Only a handful of people had the privilege of seeing him in person. Most of the visitors had to converse with him separated by a curtain, with his face hidden all along. During his stay in Uttar Pradesh, he changed his dwelling place multiple times in order to avoid unwanted attention. His first appearance can be traced back to the mid-1950s in the city of Lucknow, where he was first reportedly sighted. Several rumours about him continue, as his true identity is yet to be confirmed. Bhagwanji died on September 16, 1985, in Ayodhya. There are counterclaims calling his cremation staged so as to arrange a passage for him to leave for another secret destination. (en)
