Guru Lokanatha was born on the banks of sacred river Krishna, at Doolipudipalem, near Vyyuru, on April 4,1984, as Loka ramakrishna, to the pious couple Lakshmi Parvathi-Pothuraju. Being from a low-profile agrarian family, the childhood of Guruji passed in a unprivileged way.
Since his family was poor, to meet both ends together, child Ramakrishna, while attending his regular school studies, took up doing physical man-force works. He performed many skills in attending to works like Electrification, construction works, agriculture, petty marketing works.
Seeing the lack of self confidence in the youth, Ramakrishna took-up career counselling for young people of rural and semirural areas. He was the most sought after career counsellor in an around the state of Andhra Pradesh. Till now, more than 8000 young were counselled by Ramakrishna.
Seeing the poor and underprivileged being put to several hardships in getting justice, Ramakrishna at the beginning started rendering help in the cases. Later identifying the need of political power, to render better help to the society, he contested as MLA from Uppal Constituency of Hyderabad. A failure in getting elected, made him to work more with his own resources. He decided to endeavor more in social activities. Observing the need of an able hand in rendering social justice, he himself joined Law course and became an Advocate with the High Court of Telangana.

Later following the directions of his His Holiness, Lokanatha put himself to rigorous practice and spread of Yoga and meditation. He later visited many ashramas at the foothills of Himayalas, wherein he was enlightened with the importance of combining yoga and meditation. With his vast experience and the divine blessing of HH Shankaracharya sri Jayendra Sarasdwathy, Lokanatha initiated a new yogi meditation practice called “Cosmic Yoga”
Cosmic Yoga stresses on purification of both body and mind and make the sadhaka unite with the Cosmic energy prevailing in cosmos. This practice was mentioned in ancient scriptures like Upanishads. Lokanatha taking cue for the teachings of these sacred texts, did many experiments with yoga and meditation and finally shaped Cosmic Yoga for the betterment of the lives of the people.
Guru Lokanatha, for better administration of propagating the Cosmic Yoga, established Sri Lokanatha Central Trust in 2022 and made it as the Head Quarters for his services.
