He graduated from King's College with First Class in Classical Tripos. He passed the ICS examination, but he left ICS because he had decided to fight for India’s freedom. There he formed the secret society – ‘Lotus and Dagger’. He came back to India and joined Baroda State Service and then he dedicated himself to the revolutionary freedom movement. His political activity began with the writing of articles in the Indu-Prakash and editing political journals like Bamde-Matarm, Karmayogin, etc to intensify the freedom movement. Withdrawing himself from the revolutionary movement he started his spiritual life in 1910 first at Chandernagore and finally at Pondicherry.
