Gulabrao Maharaj, born on July 6, 1881, in Maharashtra, India, was a Hindu saint who became blind at the age of nine months due to incorrect medication. He was known for his extraordinary intelligence and spiritual knowledge. Despite his blindness, he wrote extensively, producing 139 books, 130 commentaries, and over 25,000 stanzas of poetry on various subjects. Gulabrao Maharaj was a disciple of Sant Dnyaneshwar Maharaj and advocated the philosophy of Madhuradwaita, a combination of devotion and non-dualism. He married Lord Krishna and dressed like a woman, wearing traditional married women's attire. His writings covered topics such as yoga, Vedanta philosophy, and occult sciences. Gulabrao Maharaj engaged in debates with pundits and intellectuals, defeating them with his knowledge. After his death on September 20, 1915, his popularity grew, and his disciples continued his teachings. Prior to his life as Gulabrao Maharaj, he was known as Swami Becharanand Maharaj.
