Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale is an ideal like Prabhu Shriram

Published here is a part of the interview of Sadguru (Dr) Vasant Balaji Athavale (Appa Kaka, elder brother of Sachchidananda Parabrahman [Dr] Athavale) conducted by H.H. Shivaji Vatkar. (Since this interview was before Sadguru [Dr] Vasant Athavale and H.H. Shivaji Vatkar became Saints, their names here have been retained as they were then. – Editor)

1. Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale’s uniqueness as a Spiritual Guru

1A. Rapid spiritual upliftment of ordinary souls by advising spiritual practice as per the Path of Gurukrupayoga

1A 1. Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale is the first Paratpar Guru who has impressed the importance of samashti sadhana, meaning, performing virtuous deeds for society, Nation & Dharma. He is always attentive to whether the vyashti sadhana, samashti sadhana and spiritual progress of all seekers is taking place properly.

1A 2. Spiritually evolved souls from Maharlok are taking birth through Sanatan’s seekers for the establishment of a Dharma-based Divine Rule. (Till 20.7.2022, 207 child-seekers have descended from Maharlok to take birth on Earth. – Compiler)

1A 3. In the next few years, more spiritually evolved souls from the Jana and Tapa Loks (Regions) will take birth, will establish the Divine Rule and lead it. (Child-Saints – H.H. Bhargavaram Bharat Prabhu [Age 5] and H.H. Vaman Aniruddha Rajandekar [Age 4] were born on Earth from Janalok. – Compiler)

1B. Establishing the Gurukul and merging it with Maharshi Adhyatma Vishwavidyalay (MAV) : When these children came in contact with Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale after birth, He brought it to everyone’s attention that these children have taken birth from Maharlok for the Divine mission. To help them fulfil their mission, He established the Gurukul. This is a unique trait of Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale’s foresightedness and accomplishment. (The Gurukul was established on 25.7.2010 and Advanced Gurukul was established on 24.9.2010; but due to some reasons, some seekers who took admission were sent elsewhere for the satseva of propagating Spirituality, while others were asked to serve in Sanatan’s Ashrams. Thus, the Gurukuls were merged with the Maharishi Adhyatma Vishwavidyalay at the end of 2014. – Compiler)

1C. By telling seekers the importance of Gurukrupayoga, Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale asks them not to get emotionally attached to His physical body; instead, He advises them to surrender unto Shrikrushna : All the Saints and Gurus speak about the importance of the Guru; but Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale has explained that when the disciple is progressing spiritually, he has to leave even the Guru’s support in the last stage. He has been stressing the importance of Gurukrupayoga since the establishment of Sanatan Sanstha, and yet, He has been advising seekers not to get emotionally attached to His physical body; and instead, surrender unto Shrikrushna. He taught seekers – Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum I (Meaning – ‘Shrikrushna is the Supreme Being who is enthroned as the Vishwaguru’) and Shrikrushna provided knowledge to the entire Universe through the medium of the Shrimadbhagawadgeeta.

Only Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale can say this to seekers.

1D. Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale teaches seekers to move from the wish of the Guru to the wish of God, and to perform every karma they come across as spiritual practice.

1E. Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale has pledged His mind, intellect and even His life to establish the ‘Hindu Rashtra’ : Establishing the ‘Hindu Rashtra’ is the objective of Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj even pledged his life to fulfil the dream of establishing the ‘Hindavi Swarajya’. Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale has pledged not only His mind and intellect, but also His life to establish the ‘Hindu Rashtra’.

1F. Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale founded Sanatan Sanstha, created its internal functioning system and then retired : ‘God created the Universe, designed the rules of its functioning and according to those rules, all Creation will run automatically’; God remained in the background. Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale has also established Sanatan Sanstha, created its internal functioning systems and has retired.

1G. Darshan of Saints and Deities in Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale

1. Upon looking at Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale, H.H. Pande Maharaj had the darshan of His Guru.

2. Many seekers have darshan of Shrikrushna, other Deities or Saints in Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale.

1H. Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale’s voice is Chaitanya-enriched

1. Every action of Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale, especially His speech, is enriched with Chaitanya (Divine consciousness).

2. H.H. Raghuveer (Das) Maharaj had made a resolve to perform 55 Hanumatkavach Yajnas for the elimination of distress caused by negative energies to Sanatan’s seekers. In 2003, after completing approximately 13 Yajnas, He fell unconscious due to an attack of negative energies. Upon hearing the words of Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale over the phone, He regained consciousness. (Year 2010)

1I. Any task gets accomplished by the mere resolve of Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale : Whenever Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale thinks about a task, the thought gets transformed into His resolve, all the planning for finances, manpower, etc. required for its completion gets planned automatically and the task gets completed.

1K. Texts compiled by Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale are like the Vedas : There is plenty of new knowledge in the Texts compiled by Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale and all these Texts together will be called the 5th Veda. (In the subtle knowledge obtained by Sanatan’s lady-seeker Ms Madhura Bhosale, who regularly obtains subtle knowledge, there is a reference that the Texts of Sanatan Sanstha are the 5th Veda of Kaliyug. Likewise, Maharshis have called the Texts compiled by Sachchidananda Parabrahman [Dr] Athavale as ‘Omkar Vedas’. – Compiler)

1L. Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale has obtained detailed scientific knowledge of all the subtle regions in the Universe : There are 14 subtle regions in the Universe. They are the Saptalok (The seven higher positive subtle regions of Bhulok, Bhuvarlok, Swargalok, Maharlok, Janalok, Tapalok, Satyalok) and the Saptapatal (The seven lower negative subtle regions).

2. Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale, an ideal and all-encompassing like Prabhu Shriram

Mr Shivaji Vatkar : Many seekers have darshan of Shriram and Shrikrushna in Sachchidananda Parabrahman [Dr] Athavale. What do you think about this ?

Sadguru Appa Kaka :

2A. Ideal son : Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale kept His parents, respected Dada (Father – H.H. Balaji Athavale) and respected Tai (Mother – H.H. [Mrs] Nalini Balaji Athavale) with Him at His residence in Mumbai in the last 10-15 years of their life and served them. After some time, when the mission of Sanatan Sanstha began to spread, He gave the seekers of Sanatan Sanstha an opportunity to serve Dada and Tai.

2B. Ideal brother : My brother Anant (H.H. Anant Balaji Athavale), His wife Mrs Suniti Anant Athavale and I once stayed in Goa’s Ramnathi Ashram. At that time, Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale paid full attention to our arrangements. We would have lunch and dinner together. He used to pay attention to everyone’s likes-dislikes. He took care of our younger brothers (Late) Dr Suhas and Dr Vilas like an elder brother would. Actually, I am elder to Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale by 10 years and younger brother Anant by 7 years. He took care of us like an elder brother.

2C. Ideal father : Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale has no children of His own. However, He has been blessed by His Guru Saint Bhaktaraj Maharaj that He will have many children. Today, He is lovingly taking care of all the seekers of Sanatan like His own children. He is very fond of children.

2D. Ideal Guru for society : Social service means helping the poor, serving the elderly and the sick. All Saints do this. These are definitely virtuous acts; however, by teaching society to abide by Dharma and various aspects of spiritual practice such as chanting God’s Name, Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale is performing a great mission of giving society more happiness and satisfaction in the present worldly life and life in other worlds.

Many seekers have had spiritual experiences about Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale. Two pages of Daily Sanatan Prabhat are dedicated to spiritual experiences. Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale inquires affectionately about the family members of the seekers. He guides the spiritually evolved souls from Bhulok, Bhuvarlok, Swargalok, Maharlok, Janalok and Tapalok. Due to His resolve, many seekers are obtaining subtle knowledge.

2E. Ideal disciple : Sanatan’s Text – ‘Disciple’ – compiled by Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale describes how He served Saint Bhaktaraj Maharaj during His discipleship. He has set an example for how an ideal disciple should be.

2F. Ideal patriot : In the Tretayug, Prabhu Shriram led an ideal rule. Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale is going to establish Ramrajya (Divine Rule) after 2025 in Kaliyug. The idea of establishing not just a ‘Hindu Rashtra’ but a Dharmarajya, meaning, Divine Rule founded on Dharma, has been conceived by Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale who is constantly striving through the medium of seekers to make it a reality.

2G. Ideal Jagadguru : Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale has compiled many Texts for the welfare of the world and shown the path of spiritual upliftment to the souls on Earth, as well as in the 14 regions (Saptalok and Saptapatal). It is He who has shown the eternal Path towards world peace.

2H. Ideal Warrior : Fighting at the gross level, meaning, fighting physically is easy. Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale can easily fight the strong negative energies from Saptapatal subtly. Big negative energies are afraid of Him. Through His inspiration and teachings, Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale creates Kshatratej (Radiance of a warrior) in the seekers.

2I. Having a fine combination of Kshatratej and Brahmatej : It is Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale Himself who is propagating the knowledge of Brahman through Sanatan’s Texts and inspiring seekers to subtly fight the negative energies.

2J. Gratitude expressed unto Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale

Mr Shivaji Vatkar : Do you have anything more to say ?

Sadguru Appa Kaka : I was happy to see the qualities of the seekers in the Ashram as well as in society, and the rapid spiritual progress they are making. I realised that instead of getting involved in the materialistic world, I should have become a full-time seeker along with my family (wife Mrs Vijaya, eldest daughter Dr [Mrs] Shraddha [née Ms Kala] Mahesh Gandhi, middle daughter Dr [Mrs] Kavita Prashant Devasthali and younger son Dr Kamlesh Vasant Athavale) without getting involved in the materialistic world.

3. Gratitude

It is all due to the merits and good fortune of my previous births certainly that I am blessed to have a brother such as Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale ! What if this has happened after some delay, but it has dawned on me and that too by the grace of Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale !

4. Prayer

I pray unto Almighty God – May the grace of Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale always be upon all my family members and all the seekers, and may everyone’s spiritual upliftment accelerate, and everyone moves towards Moksha (Final Liberation) under His guidance !

– Sadguru (Dr) Vasant Balaji Athavale (Eldest brother of Sachchidananda Parabrahman [Dr] Jayant Balaji Athavale)

Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale has pledged His mind, intellect and even life to establish the ‘Hindu Rashtra’ !
