Biography of Shri Pant Maharaj

Of all the Sampradayas (Paths of Devotion ) Shree DattaSampradaya is the oldest. The AwadhutSampradaya is much the same as Shree DattaSampradaya. It has deeply influenced all other sampradayas. In this Sampradaya" Shree Pant MaharajBalekundri ", who passed away in 1905 occupies an important place.

Shree Pant Maharaj was known in society by the name Dattopant. His parents were Ramachandra Pant and Godakka alias Sitabai. Shree Pant Maharaj was born on Gokulashtami day i. e. on 3rd September 1855, at Daddi, in Belgaum District in his maternal uncle's house. Shree Dattopant's father hailed from the Kulkarni family of Balekundri, a suburban area of Belgaum City in Karnataka about 14 Kilometres to its east. Dattopant had his primary education at Daddi and secondary education at Belgaum. When he ,was hardly 20 years, he met his Sadguru and was initiated. His Sadguru was Shree BalajiAnantKulkarni, alias Balappa, of Parishawad, a village in Khanapur Tehsil, Belgaum District. He was a Paramhansa, realised soul, following AwadhutSampradaya. Shree Pant after passing his final school examination from the Mission High School, Belgaum, started working as a teacher in his Alma Mater. When Shree Pant was thus standing on his own legs firmly, Balappa entrusting his mission of spread of AvadhutSampradayto Shree Pant proceeded on a pilgrimage with the intention of taking Samadhi. Shree Pant had to shoulder the double responsibility of the family and of AwadhutSampradaya. He discharged the same, in spite of poverty and suffering without losing his mental poise.

collection of his verses called "Shree Datta Premlahari " is wellknown. His verse is laden with different feelings (Rasas) and is replete with philosophy.In 1891, he wrote his treatise called "Geetasaar: essence of shreeBhagwatGeeta". His essays and books are many. They were inspired by different occasions, and are very lucid. He did not write any one of them just for the sake of writing. All of them are the outcome of his own realisation and experiences. All his literature has been published and is available for sale. A spotless character and gentle nature were Shree Pant's inborn qualities. He insisted that social conventions and moral rules be strictly observed. It was once said by him that justice, morality, truth and virtue are the bedrocks of worldly happiness. These ties are well-intentioned and so they are the source of happiness. If there is no such moral binding, society will go to wreck and ruin, and there will be a total chaos. To avoid such a disorder in society, social conventions are wholesome and essential .

Shree Pant served as a teacher in the Mission High School, Belgaum, for about 22 years. He had five brothers. He educated them and helped them to win names for themselves, and found his own happiness in their prosperity. Shree Pant hated hypocrisy. He bitterly disliked the avoidance of one's own responsibilities of worldly duties, under the pretext of ' Paramarth'. He used to remind them: " Do your worldly duty devotedly and leave to me the responsibility of your " Paramarth ". Thus, Shree Pant showed to the world that the "Paramarth" and worldly life go hand in hand and are not opposed to each other. His health began to sink since 1903. He resigned his post as a teacher and found sufficient time to devote himself exclusively to Awadhut Service, Worship, Bhajan and Preaching. Extreme devotion to the Guru was the only cardinal principle of his life. He busied himself with devotion to his Guru. Shree Pant's devotion was all love and love alone, and culminated in self-realisation through devotion. He sang the praises of devotion born of knowledge.Shree Pant passed away on the third day of the dark fortnight of AshwinShaka 1827, i.e. on 16th October 1905, while chanting loudly the words "Om NamaShiwaya" in the midst of his relatives and kinsmen.

Submission

Shri Pant Maharaj the chief exponent of Avadhut Sampraday was working as a school teacher. Everyday after his return from school many devotees used to come.

Shri pant maharaj used to sing Poems called Padas every day with these people when He sang these padas. These padas were not written by Him with paper and ink but were ex tempore expressed in Prayer. Some devotees including His brother

Govindkaka ued to pen them down. These padas have been published by datt Sabsthan out of such otings. There must be many padas which no one has noted down. These Padas were lucid praise of teh Self and teh Omnipresent Super soul

His Preceptro Balmukund.

I was trying to translate the Padas and give one pada a day on my facebook page. I thought of sharing them at one source for those who may like to revisit them and

understand Shri Pant Maharaj and The avadhu Sampraday through these padas. I am sure this is not authentic translation, I am neither a master of English nor of

Marathi much less I do not now poetry or literature at all being a commerce student. Some of he translations were taken from the ones already translated by

Mrs. Indira Kher the Author of biography of Shri Pant Maharaj in English in her book . Please feel free to point out any errors or corrections that are required in

these . Sometimes due to non availability of perfect substitutes nearby words had to be used. Please excuse me for the same. I am deeply indebted to my parents, brother Bhausaheb, and offcourse Shri Pant maharaj for getting this task done

from me. It is said that at least one line of saints writings should be experienced. I request You to please go through these translations. And other literature of Shri

Pant Maharaj Balekundri.You may also visit Shri Kshetra Balekundri near Belgaum Karnataka and experience teh calmness and peaceful atmosphere.
