A
GLIMPSE OF MAHARAJJI'S LIFE
Maharajji
was born in the village
Akbarpur (Firozabad district) of Uttar
Pradesh (India) in a wealthy Brahmin jameedar (landlord) family.
He was born on Shukla Paksh Ashtmi in the month of Margsheersh
and was named
Lakshmi Narayan Sharma by his father Shri Durga
Prasad Sharma. From early childhood Maharajji was detached
from worldly attachments. At the age of eleven he was married
to a girl from an affluent Brahmin family.
Immediately
after his marriage Maharajji left home and went to Gujarat.
He roamed around various places in Gujarat and the entire country.
After around 10-15 years (this is approximate and is as told
by elders from village of Akbarpur) his father was informed
by someone that he had seen a sadhu (ascetic) who was a lookalike
of his son in the village of Neeb Karori (misspelt as 'Neem
Karoli' at times) in the Farukkhabad district in Uttar Pradesh. |

His father
immediately rushed to the village of Neeb Karori to meet and
get his son. There he met Maharajji and ordered him to return
home. Maharajji followed his fathers instructions and returned.
This was the beginning of two different types of life that Maharajji
led. One that of a householder and the other that of a saint.
He
devoted time towards his responsibility of a householder
and at the same time he continued to look
after his bigger family i.e. the world at large. However, there was
no difference in his life and style of living when discharging duties
of a householder or that of a saint. In his family as a householder
he has two sons and a daughter.

He
said that the whole world is my family (refer to the book 'Miracle
of Love' by Ram Dass) and preached
LOVE ALL, SERVE ALL, FEED
ALL. He said this is the key to attain God and salvation. Maharajji
was a born saint. He organized yagyas and bhandaras wherever
he
went. Both of these were organized simultaneously. Yagyas were
to feed the God, and bhandaras were to feed the worldly people.
He built Hanumanji’s temples at many places. Before
attaining Nirvana he established two 'ashrams' (places for people
to stay). |
|
One is at
Kainchi in Nainital district of Uttranchal and the second one
is at
Vrindavan
in Mathura district of Uttar Pradesh. He selected Vrindavan as
the place for his 'Mahasamadhi'.
Vrindavan is the place where Lord Krishna played and lived. Vrindavan
is also known as
Golok Dham.
Maharajji
left Kainchi Ashram on 09th September 1973 for Agra. This was
his last visit to Kainchi and he left signs
of his last visit which people
could make
out only later on. Description of the same is available in the book 'Miracle
of Love' (by Ram Dass). On reaching
Agra on 10th September, he immediately set for Vrindavan where
he attained 'Mahasamadhi' on
11th
September 1973.
