Many dignitaries and well-wishers attended Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale’s ‘Brahmotsav’. Among them were – Entrepreneur and Sanatan’s Saints H.H. Pradeep Khemka and His wife H.H. (Mrs) Sunita Khemka from Dhanbad, Jharkhand; Entrepreneur and Sanatan’s Saint H.H. Sanjeev Kumar from New Delhi; Managing Director of Pitambari Products Pvt. Ltd., Thane, Mr Ravindra Prabhudesai (He is at the spiritual level of 61%) and Advocate Krishnamurthy Panjitadka (He is at the spiritual level of 64%) from Madikeri, Karnataka. They expressed their fervent thoughts in the final session of the Celebrations.
Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale is not only my protector, but also the saviour of all seekers : H.H. Pradeep Khemka
The cells of my body are constantly chanting ‘Shri Gurave Namaha’. Sachchidananda Para-brahman (Dr) Athavale is not only my protector, He is also the saviour of all seekers. My life is like that of a Bank manager. There is a lot of money in the Bank, but the manager has no control over it.
Likewise, I have many businesses, but all those are managed by Gurudev’s grace. I don’t even visit many of those businesses for years together, yet Gurudev takes care of everything. There is only one thought to offer at Gurudev’s feet –
Asuvan ke dhaaron se nit paanv pakharun mai,
Gurudev ke charanon mein nit sheesh jhukaun mai !
Gratitude a million times unto the feet of the three Gurus for giving us an opportunity to attend the Celebrations : H.H. (Mrs) Sunita Khemka
Before starting on spiritual practice, I used to feel lonely and lost. Later, the loneliness got eliminated completely. Now people outside ask me how I am able to live alone and whether I feel lonely.
I reply – ‘I constantly feel the presence and existence of Sachchidananda Para-brahman (Dr) Athavale in my life. It feels as if He is always there with me. I feel that I am performing satseva with Shrisatshakti (Mrs) Binda Singbal and Shrichitshakti (Mrs) Anjali Gadgil’. Gratitude a million times unto the Holy feet of the three Gurus for giving me an opportunity to attend this Celebration.
Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale taught us precious spiritual practice and gave us many good seekers : H.H. Sanjeev Kumar
I saw Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale as Shri Vishnu, Shrisatshakti (Mrs) Binda Singbal and Shrichitshakti (Mrs) Anjali Gadgil as Brahma and Mahesh respectively.
At the feet of these three Gurus, one gets the experience of subtle knowledge. Many of my problems have been solved
by the grace of Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale. You cannot compare anyone with Sanatan’s seekers. Through them, the wider form of Shri Guru is active. Tons of gratitude unto the Holy feet of Shri Guru for teaching us precious spiritual practice and giving us many good seekers.
Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale’s ‘Gurukrupayoga’ has the power to make India a Vishwaguru : Mr Ravindra Prabhudesai
1. ‘Gurukrupayoga’ (Path of Guru’s grace), propounded by Sachchidananda Para-brahman (Dr) Athavale, has the power to make India a Vishwa Guru.
He has stated the wonderful doctrines of spiritual practice – ‘There are as many spiritual Paths as the 800 crore population of the world’ and ‘There are as many spiritual Paths as there are people and their nature’. From these doctrines the extent of spiritual independence in Hinduism is clear and its greatness is understood. There is only one organisation – Sanatan Sanstha – that has come into existence in the last thousand years to spread these doctrines.
2. Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale has also spoken of another spiritual principle – ‘Going from the gross to the subtle’. I have asked the Research and Development Section of ‘Pitambari’ to work accordingly. The power of practising Spirituality is that it can bring happiness and change destiny. Spiritual principles are, therefore, superior to general education or management.
3. When we were told to attend this Celebration, my mother had just recovered from an illness. When the road was closed due to a traffic jam and thousands of vehicles were stuck on the highway, only our vehicle got the clearance to move. All this happened due to Guru’s grace.
4. I was down with Covid-19 and had lost my confidence. But then, Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale appeared in my dream. He boosted my confidence, and in a way, this was my rebirth.
5. We have offered our ‘Pitambari’ business unto the Holy feet of Shri Guru. He alone is looking after the prosperity and welfare of the ‘Pitambari’ and Prabhudesai families.
Mr Ravindra Prabhudesai preferred to attend Gurudev’s ‘Brahmotsav’ Celebrations over a pre-planned programme !
On behalf of the ‘Pitambari’ Group, plants bearing aromatic flowers and herbs have been sown in large quantities at their manufacturing unit at Talawade, Rajapur, Ratnagiri District.
The ‘Pitambari’ Group has also embarked on a project to manufacture incense-sticks there.
Mr Ravindra Prabhudesai had planned to attend the Idol consecration ceremony and Kalasharohan (Pot installation) in the Nutan Shri Vitthal-Rukmini Temple at Talawade on 11th May 2023.
However, when he learnt about Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale’s 81st birthday Celebrations which had been organised in Goa on the same day, he apologised to the organisers of the pre-planned programme and assured them that he would visit the Temple after a few days.
Mr Prabhudesai then attended Gurudev’s ‘Brahmotsav’ Celebrations along with his family.
Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale has opened the door to Moksha (Final Liberation) for seekers : Advocate Krishnamurthy
My heart is filled for being able to attend this Celebration which has awakened my spiritual emotion. When I don’t know what questions to ask the defendants while pleading cases for devout Hindus, or when I get tired, I surrender unto Him. On the night of 12th April 2023, while driving my car from Madikeri, some people attacked me. A gun bullet missed my head by just 2-3 cms. It did not hit me as the speed of my car was slow. It was Shri Guru who gave me the thought to drive slow at that time. How much Shri Guru takes care of me even when I do not chant continuously ! I express my gratitude unto His Holy feet as He has opened the door to Moksha for all seekers. I pray at His feet that by His grace I am able to increasingly carry out the work of Hindutva.

Seeing, hearing in the subtle, etc. (Receiving knowledge through the five subtle sense organs) : The subtle vision of some seekers is awakened; meaning, they can perceive what the physical eyes cannot see; some seekers can hear sounds or words in the subtle.
Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale has never called Himself an Avatar (Incarnation). Nor does Sanatan Sanstha call Him an Avatar.
