In the 19th chapter of "Shri Gajanan Vijay", he has clearly expounded the details of three paths, Karma, Bhakti and Yoga to reach God and declared that he was following the path of Bhakti. None in his earthly days ever saw him chanting any special mantra holding japamala etc. How he functions and transforms people from their vile, wicked ways into great devotees is really unknown. Thousands of the devotees flock to Shegaon for his darshan and blessings.
However, it is really immaterial whether Shri Gajanan Maharaj was the disciple of Shri Swami or not as, both were the forms of Supreme Brahman, who appeared on earth to deliver and liberate the souls from the worldly fetters.Īppearing in a human body was a mere pastime (Leela) of Shri Maharaj, as he is Brahmadnyani. Thus many people also believe that Shree Gajanan is none other than Shree Swami Samarth. Both were Paramahans Sanyasi, both were AjanBahu and many others.
There are lot of similarities between Shree Swami Samarth and Shree Gajanan Maharaj. Shree Gajanan Maharaj was able to do this because he was none other than the supreme Brahman(परब्रह्म or परमात्मा), who resides in every (sentient and insentient) body. For one other devotee, Shri Gajanan Maharaj appeared as Shri Ramdas Swami. In the holy book (Shree Gajanan Vijay) it is also mentioned that Shree Gajanan appeared in the form of Shree Hari Vitthal (Pandhurang) in Pandharapur) for his one devotee named Bapuna Kale. This indicate that Gajanan Maharaj was Pure incarnation of the supreme power. They are as follows: Shree Narasingji, Shree Vasudevanand Saraswati (Tembhe Swami Maharaj), Sai Baba and such great saints of the time. There is no proper past history of Gajanan Maharaj of Shegaon but in "Shree Gajanan Vijay" Dasganu Maharaj has mentioned that Gajanan Maharaj was calling some people as his brothers. Divine existence and similarity with other saints In summary, it may be unlikely that Shri Gajanan Maharaj's early life will ever be known. Contemporaries of Gajanan Maharaj identified him by several names like Gin Gine Buwa, Ganpat Buwa, and Awaliya Baba. Das Ganu Maharaj has written a 21 chapter biography, "Shri Gajanan Vijay," of Gajanan Maharaj in Marathi. Some speculate that he might have in fact hailed from Sajjanghad, (which was the place where Sant Samartha had lived). Argument can, therefore, be made that Shri Gajanan Maharaj was not Telangi Brahmin as explained by Ramaraju and others. Later Shivanand Saraswati left to perform penance in Himalaya and was never spotted again (refer pages 362–365 of the above book for the detailed conversation of the author and Shri Shivanand Swami along with their photograph). Thus, Shri Shivanand Swami is none other than the Telangi Brahmin whose mention has been made in the foreword of "Shri Gajanan Vijay" on his own admission. During these visits Shivanand Swami declared that he used visit Shri Dadasaheb Khaparde in Amravati and stay with Khaparde family. He also clearly told that after Shri Gajanan Maharaj appeared in Shegaon and remained there, he had visited Maharaj 25–30 times. Shri Swami told the author that he was Telangi Brahmin who had met Shri Sadguru Gajanan Maharaj in 1887 in Nashik. Shri Dasbhargav is said to have met Shri Swami Shivanand Saraswati, who was 129 years old at Nashik. This book mentions different version of Shri Gajanan Maharaj's origin from that explained by Ramaraju.
Shri Dasbhargav, a Shegaon native, has written "Shri Gajanan Maharaj Charitra Kosh". Biruduraju Ramaraju has tried to establish in his collection of books called "Andhra Yogulu" that he was a Telangana Brahmin. His devotees believe him as incarnation of Lord Ganesha and Lord Dattatreya. He is said to have made his first appearance on 23 February 1878 in Shegaon. This “Yoga Synthesis” will lead one to the God.The early life history of Gajanan Maharaj is obscure his birth date is unknown. Then we must combine Karma Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Raja Yoga, Bhakti Yoga and Gyan Yoga. Everyone should follow one Yoga as their primary Yoga (based on their character). It aims at the harmonious development of body, mind and soul.
