Glories of Lokanath Swami Maharaj


Taasgaon became the next witness of the educational pastimes of little Raghunath after clearing his class 7!

 Because there were no vehicles back then, Maharaj went daily walking from Aravade to Taasgaon across a distance of 10 km. 

In those days, Maharaj and his classmates used to rent a place in Taasgaon, and every Saturday, Maharaj would walk back home and again start on Monday to commute to school. 

This was his daily routine all the while till the completion of his tenth grade.

Gurumaharaj's excellency became the talk of the school even before his reaching there! The day when students got to see Gurumaharaj in person, the one whom they thought to be someone of great pride was astonished by seeing his simplicity. 

His simplicity made people befriend him as honeybee gets attracted to the nectar! Although there were some who desired to compete with Gurumaharaj.

But, Gurumaharaj stood first always and he again stood first in the board examination of tenth grade- the exam which was most difficult to crack during those days.

Gurumaharaj’s elder brother informed everyone to take care of him and ensure that he doesn't go anywhere out of Mumbai.  Being there Gurumaharaj started reading The times of India every day for hours to improve his English. It was after the marriage of S. Chavan that he along with his wife shifted to the room next to Gurumaharaj. During those days it was difficult to get water in the Dadar area, Knowing that Guru Maharaj would stay awake studying the whole night his sister-in-law would ask him to wake her up when water comes at night so that she can fill the water for using it later in the day. Sometimes it would so happen that Gurumaharaj would go to continue his reading by keeping the bucket to fill b...

When Gurumaharaj took sannyas he wrote a letter to his family that now I have took sannyasa and I want one more person from our family to join me, so HG Sita Mataji, Gurumaharaj’s sister took her son, who was 5-6 years old to Juhu temple.  Gurumaharaj to pick her up went to Vile Parle which is far from the temple so Gurumaharaj took the boy on his back from Vile Parle to Juhu temple on foot only to not waste Srila Prabhupāda’s money.
