GLIMPSE OF GONDAVLE: THE INFINITE SOURCE OF EMANCIPATING SPIRIT: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

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. Truth realization is ATMAPRACHITI (the word self realization does not convey the content of the word ATMAPRACHITI because the word ‘self’ does not convey the essence of the word ATMAN.

Truth realized individuals are not mere erudite orators, who preach, perform so called miracles, or merely do philanthropic work! They revive us from the stupefying dungeon of mortal subjective realm; into immortal objective 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(1845-1913); had come in contact with Shri Saibaba, Akkalkot Swami, Vasudev Balavant Phadke, Lokamanya Tilak and also Nanasaheb Peshave (Biography of Gondavlekar Maharaj, by K.V. Belsare). He extensively toured India three times; and rest of the life he lived in Gondavle. His life exemplifies how a truth realized individual’s consciousness is one with the cosmic consciousness and benevolent to universe.

Gondavle is full of daily activities (conducive to individual and global blossoming) called NITYOPASANA (nitya = one which continues uninterrupted and upasana means getting nearer to God or truth). People interested in truth realization and/or global welfare; visit Gondavle, usually stay here and participate in NITYOPASANA and/or offer services in various ways; in this MAHA YAJNYA, SAMASHTI YOGA or MEGAPROCESS of GLOBAL BLOSSOMING and get set on proper path of ultimate fulfillment viz. individual and global blossoming in life.

The food and stay for specific period of time are kept free of cost as an expression of supremely benevolent supertransaction; beyond mercenary, commercial, professional and philanthropic concepts! Gondavle is near places such as Dahivadi, Pusegaon, Koregaon, Satara, Phaltan, Vita, Tasgaon etc. and about 60 to 90 km from Pandharpur, Pune, Sangli, Miraj, Mahabaleshvar etc. From Mumbai, Panvel, Vashi, New Mumbai, Lonavla, Thane one can drive to Gondavle in 5 to 7 hours by express highway.
