Sri Ganapatrao Maharaj Kannur - Preachings

Preachings

Shri Ganapatrao Maharaj preached the principle of Advaita and the importance of self satisfaction and the way to lead a happy and content life in eternal peace. His teaching, in a nut shell, was Aham Bramhasmi or I am Bramha and Atma (Soul) - the selfless (devoid of I) is supreme - The Bramha(The all occupied one and who resides in everything). He focused on how an individual who has conquered his ego can be eternally free in his birth itself. The supreme eminence of his teaching was that he explained this systematically in a simple language, so as even a common man could understand and follow it easily. Some key topics which Shri Ganapatrao Maharaj elucidated were:-

• The importance of this birth as a human being.

• The Atma is Supreme it is Sat – Chit – Anand meaning it is the ultimate truth, it is ever existent never to be destroyed and it is in the form of happiness.

• An individual is not what he seems to be – neither the body neither the mind nor the self. He is the ultimate Atma (Soul) – the Ultimate Supreme: therefore every being is full of Anand (bliss) in his basic state, which should be experienced.

• The attainment of self enlightenment can be achieved by loving all and incinerating hatred towards others.
• The importance of evicting self-centered lifestyle and relinquishing ego.
• To be always content in self happiness and see all as self and love all.
• The need to take up spiritual path of the fourfold Sadhanas.
• The importance of listening to discourses cogitation of what is heard and bringing it into practice.
