I have been immensely helped by Dr. PV Vartak. An accomplished yogi. His commentaries of patanjal yogasutras, 12 upanishads, geeta : are the books I have been reading since I was in 8th grade.
His efforts on finding date of MBH war (5561 BCE) and his fantastic take on Bheema has been an eye-opener for me since my teenage.

I periodically refer to those books, although most of it is now almost memorized.
I have went to meet him many times at his residence/clinic to ask so many doubts.

He introduced me to Savarkar (methodically - have been with Savarkar since infance through his poems sung to me by my mother).

His words and books guide(d) me on sānkhya and yoga cogently.
My sadguru’s physical body passed away in my childhood. But owing to sādhanā as prescribed by him, He has been guiding me. Body doesn’t matter.

Yet when sādhanā falls short or when mind is not stable enough, it helps to talk to an accomplished siddha in person to resolve doubts
This is where Dr. Vartak through his books and through his talks with me in person, helped a sādhaka in me.

I last met him 8 years ago. Last time, I only went there to see him and do a sāshTānga danDavata to him. Nothing to talk. He was very optimistic about Modi then. 😊
Been a melancholic day for me. Family time but since I came to know of this news in the morning, mānas has been saddened

Just like my sadguru, physical body doesn’t matter. But I was young (10-12) when my guru passed away. So it didn’t really strike me then. I understand it now
Shri Rāma jaya rāma jay jaya rāma.

I hope he attained kaivalya pada. May that purusha be free. Farewell to his prakruti. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😔😔😔😔
