Dada Bhagwan, born as Ambalal Muljibhai Patel in 1908 in India, was a revered spiritual leader and the founder of the Akram Vignan movement, a spiritual science focused on self-realization through grace rather than traditional practices. A humble and devout man, he experienced a profound spiritual awakening in 1958, which led him to share his insight into the nature of the Self and the path to liberation. Emphasizing non-violence, equanimity, and inner purity, his teachings have inspired thousands. He passed away in 1988, leaving behind a legacy of peace and practical spirituality.
"That which comes forth, is present and cautions at all times is called 'Gnan' (Eternal knowledge). That indeed is the Soul [Our True Self]. The Soul is not separate from the Knowledge."

"If the Soul were perceivable through the senses, there would have been no need to look for God; He would have been visible the moment one is born. Where the senses don't work, the mind doesn't work, the intellect doesn't work, where nothing works; God is seen. That is why it is said, 'I am indeed in your heart. Deceit (kapat) creates the veil and that is why He cannot be seen."
