commerce, there must be religion. He also never took money
from anyone for his own use. He used the profits from his
business to take his devotees for pilgrimages to various parts of
India.
His words became the foundation for the new, direct,
and step-less path to Self-realization called Akram Vignan.
Through his divine original scientific experiment (The Gnan
Vidhi), he imparted this knowledge to others within two hours.
Thousands have received his grace through this process and
thousands continue to do so even now. ‘Akram’ means without
steps; an elevator path or a shortcut, whereas ‘Kram’ means
an orderly, step-by-step spiritual path. Akram is now recognized
as a direct shortcut to the bliss of the Self.
Who is Dada Bhagwan ?
When he explained to others who ‘Dada Bhagwan’ is, he
would say:
“What you see here is not ‘Dada Bhagwan.’ What you
see is ‘A. M. Patel.’ I am a Gnani Purush and ‘He’ that is
manifested within me, is ‘Dada Bhagwan’. He is the Lord
within. He is within you and everyone else. He has not yet
manifested within you, whereas within me he is fully manifested.
I myself am not a Bhagwan. I too bow down to Dada Bhagwan
within me.”
Current link for attaining the knowledge of Self-
realization (Atma Gnan)
“I am personally going to impart siddhis (special spiritual
powers) to a few people. After I leave, will there not be a need
for them? People of future generations will need this path, will
they not?”
