His father was Pandit Jagganath Shukla and mother was Shrimati Tulsi Devi. The tradition in Bundelkhand demanded that the name of the eldest son is not to be spoken of and therefore he was called Bhaiya by all members of the family. Before completion of one year of age, he was taken by his parents and the grandfather for the Mundan ceremony to a still obscure and not so well known in that region, the powerful shrine of Mahadeva, a cave temple at the foothills of the Mahadev Hill Range which in those days was usually only visited by the Marathas carrying very heavy Trishools on their shoulders with the chanting of Har Har Mahadev.
