Ramchandra M Adkar

Ram Chandra was born in the village Sadda, in Sholapur

district, to the couple Madhav Rao Vaman and Ganga Bai Adkar on 14.3.1915.

Madhav Rao was an ascetic by nature and often went on pilgrimage to Pandharpur.

Once Madhav Rao went to Shirdi and was serving Baba. One day when he was in

Dwarakamai with Baba, Baba, said " Madhav Rao, two men will come to take you

home, you better go. You will beget a son, and you should name him Ram. " A short

while later his father-in-law and father came to Dwarakamai. Both pleaded with

Baba saying " Baba, do send this Madhav Rao home. Though married he shirks his

responsibilities. " Baba replied, " He will accompany you " Thus Madhav Rao went

home, a year later he was blessed with a son. He was named Ram Chandra. Ganga

Bai brought the young child for

Baba's darshan and blessings. His mother died two years later and his

maternal grand parents brought up Ram.

Ram Chandra studied up to 5th Class in Marathi medium. His

father was a linguist and taught him to read and write Urdu. When he

grew up he sought the job of a schoolmaster, but was appointed as a head master.

Thus he was in charge of four schools. Three months later he was married to

Mathura Bai Kulkarni. They stayed in their father's house in Barsi, where he

continued to work as headmaster. They had two sons and three daughters. He

retired in 1972, and in 1980 moved to Pune where he is currently staying.

 

With Baba's blessings and grace, his children are leading

fruitful, and comfortable life.
