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.

Lord within. He is within you and everyone else. He has not
yet manifested within you, whereas within me he is fully mani-
fested. I myself am not a Bhagwan. I too bow down to Dada
Bhagwan within me.”

Param Pujya Dadashri used to go from town to town, and
country to country, to give satsang and impart the knowledge of

1987, he gave his blessing to Dr. Niruben Amin and bestowed
his special siddhis upon her, to continue his work. “You will have
to become a mother to this whole world, Niruben” He told her
