He was the Guru of Raja Askaran, ruler of Amber(Jaipur) and Narwar. And Diksha Guru of Rupsi Bairagi, son of Prithvi Singh, ruler of Amber (Jaipur) and uncle of Askaran.

He had good knowledge of Samkhya Darshan and Yoga. He emphasized on Yoga Abhyāsa (Yoga Practice) along with Ram Bhakti (devotion to Bhagwan Ram). Thus assimilating the yoga practice into his devotional tradition, he propounded the Tapasi tradition of Ramanandi sampradaya.
