A short biography of Shree Sadguru Ramanand Beedkar Maharaj

The most ardent disciple of
Akkalkot Niwasi Shree Swami Samarth.

An Avadhoot appears in front of Shree Beedkar Maharaj

He climbed the Bhalchandra Hill alone, though it was very difficult to climb as it was infested by tigers. He went to the spot previously occupied by the saint Shree Tukaram Maharaj and sat there for meditation. On the third day an Avadhoot (an incarnation of three headed God Dattatreya) with a Trishul45 in hand, appeared before Shree Beedkar Maharaj and spoke to him “I am the ultimate of all yogas46. I am the Omnipresent and Omniscient. I am the Supreme Living Entity of all the living entities. I alone am maintaining all life. The saints like Shree Dnyaneshwar Maharaj and Shree Tukaram Maharaj also had realised, that there was no separate existence. Hence instead of persisting here please depart from this place”.

As per this command of the Avadhoot, Shree Beedkar Maharaj left the Bhalchandra Hill and went to Bhandara Hill and then came to Dehu. From Dehu, he went to Chinchwad in Pune and visited the temple shrine of Shree Morya Gosavi, took the blessings and then took rest in the same temple-shrine. Shree Ganapatrao Maharaj, the person in charge of the temple-shrine, made all the arrangement for the stay of Shree Beedkar Maharaj. After Chinchwad, Shree Beedkar Maharaj returned to Pune.
