Sant Shri Gajanan Maharaj!

I was very happy when I completed this sketch. I believe in Gajanan Maharaj.. he is my strength and my courage. I have given my 100% to draw this great Sant.

About Maharaj:

Gajanan Maharaj from Shegaon (Buldhana District), Maharashtra, India is regarded by Hindus as a saint. A temple in his name is built on his Samadhi at Shegaon. "Sant Gajanan Maharaj Sansthan" is the largest temple trust in the Vidharbha region.

The early life history of Gajanan Maharaj is obscure, his birthdate being unknown. Some speculate that he might have in fact hailed from Sajjanghad, which was the native place of Sant Samartha Ramdas. Das Ganu Maharaj has written a 21 chapter biography, "Shri Gajanan Vijay," of Gajanan Maharaj in Marathi.

Contemporaries of Gajanan Maharaj identified him by several names like Gin Gine Buwa, Ganpat Buwa and Awaliya Baba.

According to a legend, a money lender named Bankat Lal Agarwal first saw Gajanan Maharaj in a "superconscious state" on Feb 23, 1878 on a street. He performed many miracles in his lifetime such as giving a fresh lease on life to one Janrao Deshmukh, lighting the clay-pipe without fire, filling a dry well with water, curing leoprosy of a woman and many more. He attained Mahasamadhi on 8 September, 1910.
