2. In the India, there is Maharashtra State.
This state is famous for many meritorious
characteristics. The most outstanding of
which, is the galaxy of individuals who had
realized (not merely understood or known)
the truth and imparted it to the mankind.
It is to be appreciated that the truth realized
individuals are not the same as; those who
merely preach some philosophy and/or
perform so called miracles.
Truth realized individuals are not mere
philanthropist also!
Truth realized individuals are not mere
erudite orators.
3. I call Truth realized and not self realized
because self in English does not convey the
content of the word “atman” in Sanskrit.
The most important quality of an individual
who has realized truth is to impart truth
realization and uplifting the individual from
his subjective realm into objective global
consciousness.
Thus In Maharashtra, there have been truth
realized individuals such as Dnyaneshvar,
Ramadas, Tukaram, Eknath, Muktai and in
19th and 20th century Akkalkot Swami,
Saibaba, Gajanan Maharaj and many others.
One of these truth realized individuals was
Shri Brahmachaitanya Gondavlekar
Maharaj.
Gondavlekar Maharaj; had come in contact
with Saibaba, Akkalkot Swami, Vasudev
4. Balavant Phadke, Lokamanya Tilak and also
Nanasaheb Peshave (Biography of
Gondavlekar Maharaj, by K.V. Belsare).
Gondavlekar Maharaj (1845-1913)
extensively toured India three times while he
lived in Gondavle.
His life exemplifies how a truth realized
individual’s consciousness is one with the
cosmic consciousness and becomes
benevolent to universe.
His consciousness is experienced by many
individuals in his samadhi mandir located in
Gondavle, which is in Taluka Man, in Satara
district in Maharashtra.
The samadhi mandir of Gondavlekar
Maharaj is full of daily activities conducive
5. to individual and global blossoming. These
are called NITYOPASANA.
Any one who is interested in truth realization
can visit Gondavle. He or she can participate
in the most satisfying activities in a suitable
manner; and undergo conscious evolutionary
transformation and get set for the ultimate
fulfillment in life in time to come!
The food and stay for three days are kept
free of cost as an expression of supremely
benevolent supertransaction; which is
beyond mercenary, commercial and even
professional considerations!
