'''Ram Kishor''' was the 13th head of the [[Ramsnehi Sampradaya]] (headquarter Shahpura, Bhilwara).<br />
<br />
== Early life and Sannyasa initiation==<br />
Ram Kishor was born in 1918 at village Dhabar, district [[Pali, Rajasthan]], in a Rajpurohit family to father Bhaironsinghji and mother Kesharbai.<ref name="yy"/><br />
<br />
At the age of 9, he was initiated into [[Sannyasa]] by the Ramsnehi saint Kaaraj Ram at [[Gangapur City|Gangapur, Rajasthan]]. Thereafter he committed himself to studying the scriptures of the sampradaya, as well as Hindu scriptures. He resided at Ramdwaras of Khurja ([[Bulandshahar]]) and Charkhewalan, Delhi. He was under tutelage of Gyani Ram at the latter place.<ref name="yy"/><br />
<br />
== Philosophy ==<br />
Along with religion and spirituality, his focus was on national issues as well. He participated in the Delhi Shiv Mandir Satyagraha in 1939 and was subsequently jailed for 2 months. He was also an active participant in the [[Arya Samaj]] Satyagraha at Hyderabad in 1938.<ref name="yy"/><br />
<br />
== Leadership of Ramsnehi Sampradaya ==<br />
He was designated the head of [[Ramsnehi Sampradaya]] on [[Chaitra]] [[Paksha|Shukla]] Asthami [[Vikram Samvat]] 2016 (1960 A.D.). He succeeded Darshan Ram.<ref name="yy"/><br />
<br />
He is credited with changing the Ramsnehi Sampradaya to a more contemporary one. Till 1972, all Ramsnehi saints followed the founder's dictum to travel exclusively on foot. Ram Kishor, on the earnest request of devotees, started travelling by car and plane. This enabled a wider reach for the Sampradaya in India as well as abroad. Ram Kishor travelled to Bangkok, Singapore, Malaya, Australia and Fiji for spreading Indian culture and teachings of [[Ram Charan Maharaj]].<ref name = qw>Ramsnehi Bhaskar March and April 2005 https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3bUXrI1MZN1LVQ4R1RvYlQzQkU/edit?usp=sharing</ref><br />
