Yr. 1845 - Shree Maharaj was born in Gondavale, a small village near Taluka Dahivadi in District Sataraa of Maharashtra State (India). His original name was “Ganapati”. His grand father “Lingopantt” used to worship Lord Vitthal of Pandharpur. Ganapati’s father “Ravaji” was a great devotee; he used to enchant the sacred Name of Lord Vishnu. Ganapati’s mother Gitamai was very generous. She used to called Ganapati as Ganu

Shree Tukamai renamed Ganpati as BRAMHACHAITANYA and gave him Holy Name of Lord Raam i.e. SHREE RAAM JAY RAAM JAY JAY RAAM. Shree Tukamai thus initiated Shree Maharaj.

Yr. 1875 - After getting blessed by Tukamai, Shree Maharaj left Yehlegaon. Shree traveled in Himalayan region for about 12year and then returned back to home in Gondavale. After coming back to Gondavale Shree Maharaj started living normal life. He taught Yog to his wife. At the age of about 32 his first wife left this world.

By this time Shree Maharaj had routed his philosophy deeper into the hearts of a common men. A group of dedicated persons had started gathering around him. Many well-known personalities viz. Lokmanya Tilak, Vasuveo Balvant Phadke any many more used to come to Shree Maharaj to listen to him, to discuss with him and finally to obtain his Blessings.
