Dada Bhagwan

Dada Bhagwan was an Indian spiritual leader and the founder of the Akram Vignan movement, known for his teachings on self-realization and the nature of the soul.


"One enjoyed the mental pleasures through ignorance (of the Self), and that is cause of the worldly life. Only the bliss of the ‘Knowledge’ [of the Soul, one’s True Self] is to be enjoyed."
Dada Bhagwan
"Ignorance’ (absence of Self-Knowledge) creates vibrations (causes) and ‘Knowledge’ (Self-Knowledge) stops these vibrations."
Dada Bhagwan
"You benefit when you do not further entangle (confuse) an already entangled person or you benefit when you remove his entanglement. But what happens when you entangle the one who is already entangled? God is sitting within him, isn’t he?"
Dada Bhagwan
"In regards to maan (to seek importance from others), a man will become impudent if he keeps getting insulted up to a point. If he gets maan (importance from others) to a certain level, he grows stronger. And if he gets too much maan [praise], then his desire for it will come to end."
Dada Bhagwan
"I know’, is a big ghost. ‘This is mine’, is a huge demonic possession!"
Dada Bhagwan
"The one, whose worldly entanglements have gone, is called the ‘Absolute Person’ (Sampoorna Purush)."
Dada Bhagwan
"If nothing on the inside spoils, nothing on the outside will either. This is the hidden secret of this world."
