Shri Sadguru said
In the Ghurjara kingdom, there was a reputed yogi called Kaivalyaram (popularly know as Kevalram). He was an unswerving man of faith and was very courageous. He strictly adhered to brahmacharya, had complete control of all senses, and was a man of renunciation. He presented a very tranquil appearance bearing a staff, wearing a dress made of the barks of a tree and the hide of a deer and with matted hair. He was calm, lean due to fasting and had conquered anger fully. He was an aatmagnani and had gnana drishti. He was a great tapasvi and was the greatest of the people who had mastered the Shastras. That mahatma trod the earth with penance and with an unshakeable determination to revive the Sanatana Dharma.
