Shri Sant Achyut Maharaj

Shri Sant Achyut Maharaj (27 January 1927 – 7 September 2012), lovingly revered as ‘Vidarbha Mauli,’ was a distinguished saint, philosopher, author, social reformer, and humanitarian whose life was dedicated to the service of humanity and the preservation of Indian spiritual values. Born in Warud, Maharashtra, and guided by Rashtrasant Tukdoji Maharaj, he inspired generations through spirituality rooted in compassion, education, ethical living, and selfless service.
