Sri Satuwa Baba Maharaj, a great saint, revered by thousands across India passed on early this morning November 28, 2012. A Master’s passing, referred to as the Mahasamadhi, is a powerful occasion when the blessings of the Master are bestowed upon all.

Satuwa Baba Maharaj, “Maharaji” is a great Indian saint who belongs to the Vishnu Swami lineage, the roots of which date back 2600 years. He was head of The school of the Guru, The Shri Satuwa Baba Ashram in Varanasi, India. The Gurukul is not just a building; it is a place where the sculpting of a truly honorable life begins. The saints work relentlessly to enable this process. The students are being groomed according to the vision of the Teacher or Guru. From morning till night God remains the focus of all their daily activities, they maintain respect for parents and elders, maintain trustworthiness and honesty and are truthful in thought, word and deed. These are the ideals upon which the children are sculpting their own lives with the commendable guidance of the house masters & saints.

I was fortunate to spend time in Satuwa Baba’s Ashram and captured some beautiful footage.

Blessings to all.
