Philosophy & Teachings Of Shri Gondavalekar Maharaj
One can experience ‘Self Realization’ (i.e. Atma-Jnana) by chanting the Divine Name of God (Ram), by worshiping GOD and fully surrendering to Him; this is a central idea behind the entire philosophy of any Saint/Sage. Shree Bramhachaitanya Gondavalekar Maharaj presented the same philosophy in a totally new way. Love towards mankind is the backbone of his philosophy by virtue of which even a common man can adopt his philosophy.
