Guest guest Posted March 11, 2000 Report Share Posted March 11, 2000 Gauri Das Prabhuji, Pamho. AgtSP. The webmaster of ramdas.org is Mayavadi. What is the fault of Ramadas Swami ? He is a personalist. He was a co-guru of King Shivaji alongside Sant Tukarama. In Maharashtra everybody considers Sant Ramadas as the incarnation of Maruti ( Hanuman ). His renunciation is comparable to Shukadeva Goswami. In knowledge is comapared to Vasishta. In poetic ability is compared to Valmiki. Twelve years he chanted Ram's name standing in Godavari river. 13th year he chanted gayatri and got swarupa siddhi. YS, Bh. Shrirang. Talk to your friends online with Messenger. http://im.
