In Woods of God-Realization

Swami Rama, previously known as Gosain Tirtha Rama, M. A., was born in 1873 on the day following the Diwali at Muraliwala, a village in the district of Gujranwala, Punjab. Born in the family of Gosain Brahmans, he was the direct descendant of Gosain Tulsi Das, the famous author of the Hindi Ramayana. His mother passed away when he was but a few days old, and he was brought up by his elder brother, Gosain Guru Das, and his old aunt.
