Readers’ Reactions to "Padi Lagata Dhanya Hooni Gelo" — Part 2

The earlier series *Padi Lagata Dhanya Hooni Gelo* received a heartfelt and enthusiastic response from readers. Their words reveal how deeply the writings touched their minds and how beautifully they clarified spiritual concepts. The intent behind the series was simple yet profound: to offer spiritual understanding, to explain true spirituality, to clarify the role of Guru and God, and to show why inner upliftment is essential in life. The following responses reflect how these aims were fulfilled.

Reader Responses (Items 16–35)

16) “Very few writings truly touch the mind, but your articles are effortless sources of knowledge. They keep the mind engaged and gradually transform one's thoughts. While reading, it feels as if you are personally sitting before us and explaining everything. This is not ‘bookish writing’; it is direct knowledge flowing from you. Every time a part ends, I eagerly await the next one. May at least some part of the devotion and dedication that you have towards Sadguru arise in all of us. Sadguru Narendranath Maharaj ki Jay!

17) “After reading Guru Charitra, many events seem unbelievable. But the miracles we witnessed during P. P. Maharaj’s time and those happening today under P. P. Kaka (Narendranath Maharaj) show that the Guru’s ways, then and now, remain the same.”

18) A senior journalist from Nashik writes: “Today you explained the meaning of prayer so beautifully that it feels as if the inner sky has become clear. All anger, greed and impurities seem to have dissolved. The mind feels refreshed, filled with devotion. Only the remembrance of God and Guru remains. This article and your guidance have brought a profound inner state. Now the true meaning of Sadguru and spirituality is slowly being understood.”

Another reader adds: “The book *Yogikathamrut* contains fascinating accounts of yogis and miracles. On similar lines, your book *In the Shadow of Yogeshwaranand* beautifully presents the Nath tradition and its history. P. P. Narendranath Maharaj, being highly educated (M.Com, FCA), has explained miracles in a rational and systematic manner. The experiences granted by Guru Vyankatnath Maharaj are described so vividly that one is left astonished. A must-read for all seekers!”

19) “Countless salutations at the feet of Sadgurunath. This series helped me understand Guru Charitra for the first time. Every day I eagerly waited for the next part. Being in the presence of the Guru changes one's life. Your writing has given us great knowledge.”

20) “Through this series, Maharaj explained Guru Charitra in simple language accessible to common people like us. It became clear that the Nath tradition is as powerful today as it was then. The life of Shri Vyankatnath Maharaj and the disciples’ experiences were beautifully presented. My prayer is that I may have the capacity to absorb this knowledge.”

21) “This series was wonderful and clarified many spiritual concepts. I request that you continue writing so that people continue receiving spiritual knowledge.”

22) “These bhajans are very beautiful. You have started a great mission—please continue sending these writings.”

23) “Will God guide a soul out of the cycle of birth and death? Will God help in liberation, or does God do nothing? Understanding this is essential.”

24) A disciple of Vyankatnath Maharaj from Nashik writes: “I have read the entire series. The weekday-wise bhajans bring great peace to the mind. Please continue the series.”

25) Prof. Yadavarav Kakte writes: “I have read each article attentively. Every word has touched the heart of mature readers. This uninterrupted stream of nectar flowed for a hundred days. Readers now eagerly await its publication as a book. As Sant Tukaram says, ‘The fulfiller of true resolve — Narayana — grants all wishes.’ So may this too come true.”

26) Aruna Joshi (Nagpur) writes: “Today is the 100th part of the series! The articles were beautifully composed. Reading anything about our P. P. Guru Maharaj always brings joy. This series gave us much new understanding.”

27) Prof. Suchita Nulkar writes: “I read the 100th part directly today — I was completely absorbed. It felt like receiving the Guru’s blessing.”

28) Prof. Vaishali Katol writes: “This series helped me understand what Guru Charitra contains. Being with the Guru changes one’s life. Infinite prostrations at Kaka Maharaj’s feet.

29) Anant Patil (Pune) writes: “This series presented Guru Charitra in simple, understandable language. It showed that the Nath tradition remains alive and active even today. The presentation of life events and disciples' experiences was deeply touching.”

30) Mohini Walkay (Pune) writes: “Your guidance showed how chanting Lord Maruti’s name removes fear. My husband has completed 1,25,000 circumambulations around the sacred Peepal tree and is experiencing its results.”

31) Dr. Purushottam Joshi (Nagpur) writes: “Your series inspired us to practice sadhana. It showed how the Nath tradition has always worked for individuals and society.”

32) H. B. P. Asha Khokle writes a detailed reflection: “While visiting the Ashram, I experienced deep spiritual peace. Where Guru Charitra is recited, a powerful divine presence is felt. I felt as if my former Guru was present in the Ashram itself. Everyone served with pure-hearted humility. Sadguru Narendranath Maharaj’s blessings filled me with immense joy.”

33) “This series generated curiosity while also giving precious guidance. It revealed how the Guru’s presence transforms inner tendencies and uplifts the soul.”

34) “Guru’s nectar-like words reached us daily through this series. It confirmed that the Guru principle described in Guru Charitra is still alive today. We disciples are not merely reading Guru Charitra — we are living it through Guru’s grace.”

35) “From the moment this series began, it opened new directions of thought about spirituality and the Guru–disciple relationship. Kaka Maharaj showed how a disciple grows through obedience, faith, and surrender. The Nath tradition’s methods, the transformation in youth, and the shaping of seekers were beautifully explained.”
