His younger brother [[Bhimrao Bhagvanrao Khedgikar]] was a renowned educator who settled in the town of [[Ambajogai|Ambajogai, Maharashtra]] on Swamiji's suggestion and worked with Swami Ramananda to help establish the [https://yogeshwari.org.in/ Shri Yogeshwari Shikshan Sanstha].

==Life==
Swami Ramanand Tirtha fought the [[Osman Ali Khan, Asaf Jah VII]], the [[Nizam of Hyderabad]], after the [[Hyderabad State Congress]] was established in 1938. He participated in ''[[Satyagraha]]s'' ("non-violent resistance" campaigns) and was imprisoned for 111 days by Osman Ali Khan. Swami Ramanand Tirtha is credited for having created a revolutionary movement to integrate Hyderabad State with the Indian Union in 1948. Swami Ramanand Tirtha's ability to galvanize the people in concert with the decisive military victory of [[Operation Polo|the Hyderabad Police Action]] are credited with the state's successful integration into the India Union.

Swamiji had [[Communism|communist]] leanings initially, but would later take the renunciant vows of the [[Hindu]] ''[[sannyasi]]'' ("ascetic", "monk") tradition.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://archive.org/stream/in.ernet.dli.2015.124882/2015.124882.Memoirs-Of-Hyderabad-Freedom-Struggle_djvu.txt|title=Memoirs Of Hyderabad Freedom Struggle|author=Tirtha, Swami Ramananda|year=1961}}</ref> His original name was '''Vyenkatesh Bhagvanrao Khedgikar'''. He was given the name "Swami Ramanand Tirtha" after taking the ''[[sanyas]]'' initiation of [[brahmacharya|voluntary bachelorship]] for the remainder of his life. Swami Ramanand Tirtha is said to have taken ''[[sanyas]]'' at the villages of Hipparge Rava, Taluka- Lohara and the District of Osmanabad.

Swami Ramanand Tirtha first established Rashtriya Shala ("The National School") at [[Hipparge Rava]]. He also worked as a teacher in [[Ausa]] in [[Latur district]].
