Inspiring Journey Of Chai Wale Baba, Who Dedicated 40 Years Giving Free Coaching To UPSC Apirants

Amid the sea of devotees and spiritual seekers at the Mahakumbh Mela in Prayagraj, one extraordinary figure has emerged as a beacon of hope and inspiration – ‘Chai Wale Baba.’ Known for his humility and selfless service, this remarkable ascetic has dedicated over 40 years to offering free coaching to civil service aspirants, touching the lives of countless students across India.

From Tea Vendor to Spiritual Mentor

Hailing from Pratapgarh, Uttar Pradesh, Dinesh Swaroop Brahmachari, affectionately called ‘Chai Wale Baba,’ began his journey as a simple tea seller. Over time, he transitioned into a revered ascetic with a mission to empower students aiming for India’s prestigious civil services. Despite his vow of silence, Baba’s innovative teaching methods have left a lasting impact on his students. Communicating through written messages and gestures, he has managed to provide invaluable guidance to aspirants preparing for competitive exams.

What sets Baba apart is his minimalist lifestyle. Surviving on just 10 cups of tea a day, he exemplifies simplicity and discipline. For him, education is not merely about academic success but also about spiritual upliftment, instilling in his students a sense of purpose and resilience.

Empowering Aspirants Through Silent Wisdom

Baba’s commitment extends beyond the physical classroom. He offers free study materials and personalized guidance through WhatsApp, ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder his students’ ambitions. Rajesh Singh, a civil service aspirant and one of Baba’s followers, credits him for his progress. “His silence speaks volumes. Through his written words and gestures, he has given us the clarity and motivation we need to succeed,” Singh shares.

A Legacy of Service at the Mahakumbh

At the Mahakumbh 2025, Baba continues his mission, blending spiritual wisdom with practical guidance. Students from across the nation flock to him, drawn by his unwavering dedication and the transformative power of his teachings. His presence at the Kumbh Mela serves as a testament to the profound impact of selflessness and service.
