Shri Hanuman Prasad Ji Poddar, known as Bhaiji, was a distinguished personality of India who contributed a lot for making available religious books among masses at cheapest prices. He was a freedom fighter and very few people knew his spiritual attainment. He was a saint of very high calibre and due to his humility this thing was not revealed in his lifetime. But contemporary saints like Swami Karpatri Ji Maharaj, Kripa Shankar Ji, Swami Prabhu Pad Ji, etc. had highest respect for him.
Life of Shri Poddar Ji is well known to the Indian public because he was associated with Gitapress and Kalyan. But very few people knew about Radha Baba. Poojya Poddar Ji had highest spiritual respect and love for Radha Baba. Shri Poddar Ji wrote about Radha Baba:
Shri Radha Baba came in my contact inspired by Poojya Jai Dayal Ji Goenka. His relations with me cannot be defined in words. He is the closest one to me and I am closest to him. His spiritual attainments are unparallel. He had deep faith in Advait but he became immensely absorbed in Ras Sadhna. His attainment of Maha Bhava is unparallel. Such Bhakti Sadhna with Advait is very rarely revealed in any saint.
