Gurudeo Ranade Jamkhandi

'I humbly prostrate before Ramachandra, who is a crown of honour to the family of Ranades, who is worshipped and honoured by the renowned pople of high learning and wisdom, whose motto is first action and then preaching and who is a torch bearer of noble thoughts.'

'He was born at Jamkhandi and was a crown jewel among the learned scholars. He was busy in distributing the alms of wisdom and spirituality on the holy banks of rivers Ganga and Yamuna, at the sanctified place of their unique confluence. He churned the Upanishads which are at the helm of the numerous Vedas and he is distributing the nectar of their teaching to the thirsty (devotees) who are harassed by the conflagration of worldly fire of miseries and anxieties !

'From whose mouth is emanating the holy river of, Gospel of devotion, dispassion and wisdom and which is purifying the hearts of his devotees and disciples and giving birth to the aspiration of spiritual Truth. I devoutly salute Rama who is engrossed in mysticism and whose heart is fixed in Yoga and who is a friend and brother off all in the world and who is bereft of all desires and human cravings.
