Satsang Ramchandra M Adkar

Ramchandra M Adkar

Ram Chandra was born in the village Sadda, in Sholapur district, ; to Madhav Rao Vaman and Ganga Bai Adkar on 14.3.1915. Madhav Rao was an ascetic by nature and often went on pilgrimage to Pandharpur. Once Madhav Rao went to Shirdi and was serving Baba. One day when he was in Dwarakamai with Baba, Baba, said “Madhav Rao, two men will come to take you home, you better go. You will beget a son, and you should name him Ram.” A short while latter his father-in-law and father came to Dwarakamai. Both pleaded with Baba saying “Baba, do send this Madhav Rao home. Though married he shirks his responsibilities.” Baba replied, “He will accompany you” Thus Madhav Rao went home, a year latter a son was born. He was named Ram Chandra. Ganga Bai brought the young child for Baba’s darshan and blessings. His mother died two years latter and his maternal grand parents brought up Ram.

Ram Chandra studied up to 5th Class in Marathi medium. His father was a linguist and taught him to read and write Urdu. When he grew up he sought the job of a schoolmaster, but was appointed as a head master. Thus he was in charge of four schools. Three months latter he was married to Mathura Bai Kulkarni. They stayed in their father’s home in Barsi; where he continued to work as headmaster. They had two sons and three daughters. He retired in 1972, and in 1980 moved to Pune where he is currently staying.

With Baba’s blessings and grace his children are leading fruitful, and comfortable lives.
