Ramnathi (Ponda, Goa) – Dharmabhushan Bharatacharya (Prof.) Suresh Gajanan Shevde (Age 89), world-renowned Pravachankar (A Preacher who delivers discourses) from Chembur, Mumbai, attained Sainthood on 11th June 2024.
The blissful event took place at Sanatan’s Ramnathi Ashram in Ponda, Goa. Bharatacharya (Prof.) SG Shevde’s discourse was organised for seekers in the Ramnathi Ashram, where He shared his views on the greatness of Hindu Dharma and His overall experience while residing in the Ashram. Soon after, Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale announced that Bharatacharya (Prof.) SG Shevde had attained Sainthood.
Pujya Prithviraj Hazare felicitated Pujya Bharatacharya (Prof.) SG Shevde by offering Him a garland, a shawl, a coconut and a gift. Dr (Mrs) Kunda Jayant Athavale graced the occasion with her presence and shared some memories about Pujya Bharatacharya (Prof.) SG Shevde. Later, Pujya Bharatacharya (Prof.) SG Shevde guided the seekers again. This was followed by Mr Anant Kulkarni, who Pujya Bharatacharya (Prof.) SG Shevde treats like a son, and his wife Mrs Prachi Kulkarni, expressing their thoughts.
On this occasion, Mr Ram Honap, Mr Nishad Deshmukh (who is at the spiritual level of 63%), and Ms Madhura Bhosale (who is at the spiritual level of 65%), who obtain subtle knowledge, shared their subtle analysis of Pujya Bharatacharya (Prof.) SG Shevde. Mr Bhushan Kulkarni, Mrs Ananya Patil, and Mr Deep Patane (the seekers who managed Pujya Bharatacharya (Prof.) SG Shevde’s stay in the Ashram), shared what they learnt while performing their seva.
Pujya Bharatacharya (Prof.) SG Shevde’s thoughts after being declared a Saint
Being a Saint does not make me a great individual. Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Jayant Athavale took me under His wings, and I experienced maternal love. I am glad to have been elevated to the supreme position in Dharma and Spirituality, the tenets of my unwavering and absolute faith. I am fortunate to experience these precious moments. It is my absolute honour that God-incarnate Himself (meaning – Sachchidananda Parabrahman [Dr] Athavale) praised me.
Pujya Bharatacharya (Prof.) SG Shevde’s visit to Ramnathi Ashram was a Divine coincidence : Dr (Mrs) Kunda Athavale
We were planning to celebrate the 100th Birth Anniversary of Saint Bhaktaraj Maharaj in Panvel (Raigad) before the coronavirus pandemic. At the time, we met Pujya Aaba (Pujya Bharatacharya [Prof.] SG Shevde), invited Him to the event and requested Him to deliver a discourse, which He gladly accepted. When His wife passed away, Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale wrote a letter to Him which He found very heart-warming and a few days ago He shared His wish to stay in the Ashram. Coincidently, the day before that, Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale appreciated His Texts and said let’s request Him to visit our Ashram.
Bharatacharya (Prof.) SG Shevde, who attained Sainthood by relentlessly striving for the cause of Dharma ! : Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale
I pay obeisance to Bharatacharya (Prof.) SG Shevde, a world-renowned Pravachankar and the crown jewel of Dharma. One could imagine the extent of His contributions to the Nation & Dharma just by the salutations used.
1. So far, He has delivered more than 13,500 discourses across the world.
2. He has delivered 550 discourses in the United States of America.
3. In 2016-17, He addressed the ‘House of Commons’ in the United Kingdom and provided valuable insights about the immense contribution of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
4. Bharatacharya (Prof.) SG Shevde exposed the false narrative about Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj in His book – ‘Shambhuraje’. He spoke at length and wrote many insightful articles in this regard. This stopped the false propaganda about Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, an epitome of bravery and Dharma.
In short, Bharatacharya (Prof.) SG Shevde is a true warrior who thwarted many attempts to malign Dharma.
