Shri Gurudeo Ranade Paramarth Mandir, JamkhandiOne God, One World, One Humanity Shri Gurudev Ranade Last updated on Oct 17, 2019 Vaikuntha Chaturdashi Saptah Saturday Nov 9 to Monday Nov 11 2019Thought for the week Week 968 It is only the Sages who know the value of spiritual experience. Others give themselves over to visible things. It is a law of nature that some carry merely logs of wood, while others wear rich jewels……The Sage is in possession of the inner spiritual treasure; others, who want to satisfy their appetite, follow after philosophical opinions. (Dasabodha VI. 9. 1-20). (Page 410, Mysticism in Maharashtra, R D Ranade)  Paramarth Mandir, Jamkhandi
“For India, he was one of her great men. In India, as also in other countries, there are many great scholars engaged in various researches, many great philosophers with deep insights into reality, many great mystics with ineffable visions, many great teachers who inspire their pupils, many great souls whose integrity and personality are radiant. But we seldom see one person who is all of these at once. Such a one was Shri Ranade, one of those rare spirits who show us how fine human nature can be”.1
