The story is about a Saint who is still a human and has emotions, love, passion, and obsession mistakes and how he overcomes them all by changing his thinking and by loving discipline instead of following the harsh discipline. At the early age of 16, the Saint used to be called Ranganath. He was very good at studies, charming and inspirational to young kids. 

There was a young girl named Padma Devi who is 12 years old and was inspired by the cleverness of Ranganath and wanted to be just like him, so she also studied well and got good grades, and has ambitions to study ancient Indian Archeology.

Ranganath used to give tuition to young kids due to his financial limitations. Padma Devi had joined the same tuitions and always used to follow him and discuss her ambitions with him. Ranganath was impressed with her ambitions and used them to help in her thesis about ancient archaeology. Padma Devi was getting more attached to Ranganath and started worshipping him. He was also getting attached to her and he continued to help Padma Devi. Padma Devi was so in deep infatuation with Ranganath that she let go of her ambitions and always spent more time with him. Observing all these Ranganath thoughts this is leading somewhere else and it's not good to proceed this way. He tried to make Padma Devi understand that she needs to continue her thesis, but she would not listen to it. 

Ranganath was so disturbed that she was obsessed with him and destroying her ambitions and she needs to get back on track. For this Ranganath decided to leave for the Himalayas for further awakening about the spirit of life. He just left with plain clothes and catch a train without a ticket, and no money in hand. After a day of traveling, TC came and asked for a ticket to which Ranganath responded, "no ticket, no money I am on my way to the Himalayas to understand the purpose of life". Listening to it, TC asked, "where are you coming from?". Ranganath responded "Ananthapur". TC responded, "so you have been on this train for the past 15 hours with no food at all?" Ranganath responded, "I bought some guavas in a station in which some are still with me and could long for another day, so I am good." TC said the next stop is my hometown and my shift also completes. I need you to freshen up, have a meal take a rest, and start again to which Ranganath happily agreed. 

As the TC and Ranganath reach home, he was given a bed. Ranganath had a bath, a good meal, and then went to sleep. The next day morning, TC made breakfast for Ranganath and waited for him to wake up for a very long time. As he was getting late, he had to leave, on the night TC returned home and found that Ranganath was still sleeping, and he did not even touch breakfast. So, he tried to wake up Ranganath, and Ranganath responded, "I need more time to sleep". TC left without saying anything. The next day morning, TC came again and woke up Ranganath and said, "It's been 2 days since you had food, wake up and have it."

Ranganath told TC he did not realize that I was sleeping for two days however I felt like they did meditate for a very long time. In the meditation, I was told by a voice to show the right path to the newer generations. Most people are stuck with confusion about the purpose of life. So, I want to practice fidelity, and control of my own body, and my mind and want to listen to the voice of the earth rotate. That can be attained in a very calm place where no one can disturb me. The voice I heard was very soothing and showed me the right path to myself. I want to spend more time on it. TC asks what about traveling to the Himalayas, to which Ranganath has responded. Now my main purpose is to listen to my voice. Can you help me achieve my goal as long as possible? TC agreed to it and provided a place to meditate. TC also took care of him by providing water and food whenever asked. Sometimes it used to be after a few hours later, sometimes it used to take days. He managed office work and caring for Ranganath, which continued for nearly 3 years. Ranganath sometimes used to go out to the nearby jungle and used to stay there for hours to days. TC used to wait for Ranganath to return. TC was at least twice Ranganath but still cared for him because he has seen enlightenment in the face of Ranganath and wanted to pursue him. Ranganath always used to tell what he listened to from his inner voice and the information sometimes used to be about space too. Sometimes it used to be about Mahabarata, Gita, Trimurti, mud, animals, plants everything. At one period of time, he started getting voices about human behavior and the impact on it another human, the earth, animals, and other species. 

After 3 years Ranganath stopped hearing voices and no matter how much time he concentrated he never could hear voices. He felt like need more knowledge about the world and for that, he needs to travel more. Ranganath asked TC what to do next and also since wanted to understand more about human behavior because that is why he stopped listening to voices. TC responded he is aware of a Sadhu staying 200 km and that he would give him the right path. Ranganath started traveling there, TC gave him a bag which has clothes and some money to travel. Ranganath took the bag and left for Sadhu, as soon as he entered Sadhu's place, he sensed a little different aura which is not nice however he still approached Sadhu. He was stopped by a disciple and was asked the reason to meet Sadhu to which Ranganath responded, 'looking for knowledge, and a person suggested this Aashram here I am to meet Sadhu.' The disciple said to wait and went in to inform Sadhu about Ranganath. Sadhu agreed to meet Ranganath.

Sadhu said to Ranganath to spend a few days here and if you like you can join as a disciple for me. The other disciples were appalled as Sadhu never offered anyone as a disciple and it is very hard to get discipleship for him. Ranganath agreed to Sadhu's offer and started doing service to Sadhu. People used to approach sadhu for solutions to their issues. Sadhu was a very intelligent person and used to be able to find problems by just looking at them. Sometimes he used to tell them to come back again, and he send the disciples to spy on them and used to be able to find issues. Sadhu used to get prepared for answers every day for each of them. Sometimes he used to touch women and girls inappropriately which Ranganath felt is a misuse of power and unacceptable. Ranganath asked why you have to touch them; you could do it without touching them too. For Sadhu responded, if I touch them then only, I will be able to find what they are going through Ranganath responded, anybody, can find a lady's well-being by touching them. I can also sense pleasure in touching them which is not correct. I am researching the same thing, but all my thoughts have ended up having only one solution "Don't touch". The sole purpose of having full-covered clothes for ladies is not to see them or touch them inappropriately. Sadhu was impressed and enlightened by Ranganath's words. I did not realize till now that my body was feeling pleasure from touching ladies. From here on I will follow all your teachings and change my attitude toward women.

Ranganath felt, there is nothing to learn from Sadhu anymore however he did understand what to do next. So, he tells sadhu I want to return home and write a book on this context and make sure every person understands this "NO TOUCH" concept. It has to be included in children's education so that all children understand it. I also want to prepare speeches on this concept and give them everywhere possible. Sadhu felt it is a very good idea and he arranged tickets back to Ranganath village comfortably.

As Ranganath returned home all his family members were happy to see him back again with such an enlightened face. However, the father is a little disappointed as they are still in poverty, and Ranganath did not acquire any useful skills or made money. Ranganath enquired about Padma Devi and met her. Padma Devi had a smile when she met him. She was a little angry initially as Ranganath left without any intimation however, she went on saying she continued her research on Ancient Archeology and met several people, reading so many books about them. But a large amount of information was missing from libraries. It might have been wiped off during Mughal and British rules. She thinks all the books have been sent to Britain and some people might have used them to build great architecture there. She wants to gather all the information and use it to build a monolithic architecture for Lord Shiva in her lifetime. Ranganath was happy to hear about her ambitions and wanted to help her achieve them. 

Since Ranganath has his ambitions in making a thesis of treating women, animals, and other species with the utmost respect. If anyone although doing mistakes unintentionally they need to stop it immediately. This thesis should make in a way that a 12-year-old person can easily understand how to treat people at a very early age. He went through libraries, and the internet on how great people managed social relations with women and found who made good and bad decisions and based on their behavior he categorized people. The person having selfless thoughts contributing to society and nature has been selected and made inspiration in his thesis. The one who gave the right path to the younger kids, making the right decisions by avoiding naughty thoughts is the one with actual human success. So, he made some rules call the Ranganath rules. Every person needs to follow these rules.

1. "No touch" with another person no matter if he is very elderly or a very young person.

2. Treat every other species with respect.

3. Always treat everyone equally and be honest in all situations. No naughty thoughts.

4. Everyone deserves to follow their ambition, always help them achieve their ambition.

5. There is nothing more a person needs to do other than follow his ambition, help others' ambitions, have nutritious food, spend time with family and take care of health.

6. Love discipline.

7. Deviation of the above points means you are living on luck if you are happy.

Based on these rules he made a lot of theses. Now he wanted to cover every school with his speech on his thesis so that students and teaching staff and higher authorities understand his thesis and get endorsed so that they can be included in the academics and syllabus. So, he started making appointments with Principals in Colleges and Schools to attain his speech. Some Institutes refused to give appointments, and some accepted them. His speeches were circulated on social media and became famous. He got a new channel of his own which millions followed and became a successful person.

--- Morale is, if you are ambitious and selfless, money and education are not a limit to success.
