Saint Bhaktaraj Maharaj (H.H. Baba) had said to Dr Athavale once, “Your photo will be placed in the temple in every home”. This is what Maharshi said in a Nadipatti reading done in Chennai – “We will unravel the mystery of this Incarnation. He will be worshipped by many devotees in the future. Do not leave the Holy feet of this Param Guruji. Always be in His grace. There is no need to do anything else in life”. H.H. Baba’s blessings, as well as the words of the Maharshi are now coming true. (In 1993, H.H. Baba had also said to a disciple, Ms Seema Garud, about Paratpar Guru (Dr) Athavale : “People will worship Him (Dr Athavale)”. – Compiler) |

Paratpar Guru (Dr) Athavale is Atmaram, He is an Incarnation. – H.H. Anandsiddha Maharaj, Kolhapur, Maharashtra, India. (14.5.2019)
All the examples given here show that no matter how deep a diamond is hidden, the light emanating from it will neither fade nor diminish. A traveller on the spiritual path (also called a ‘seeker’) is attracted due to Chaitanya (Divine consciousness) in the photo of Paratpar Guru (Dr) Athavale. He feels that there is something different about it, and through some indeterminable force of attraction, he longs for the photo. Indeed, any Incarnation that undertakes a Divine mission cannot hide the Chaitanya of His body, and even a common individual can perceive this Chaitanya.
