About Upasni Maharaj
Kasinath Govind Upasani Sashtry was born on the 5th of May 1870 in a family of Brahmin priests. He was a spiritual renegade. He had no interest in academics and practiced chanting, yoga, and meditation rigorously. His spiritual practices were often extreme. He used to even meditate in burial grounds on Lord Shiva. Even though he married thrice and tried his luck in medicine and other means of livelihood, he always went back to his supreme aim – spiritual growth. He stayed in Nasik and Pune at times and even begged for a living. He resorted to extreme penance without food or water and attained great spiritual powers. It was Shirdi Sai Baba who finally converted Kasinath into Upasani Maharaj, a true master. He left his physical frame in 1941. Even now, Sakori (near Shirdi), where Upasani Maharaj lived the latter part of his life, is a shrine frequented by many. He continues to guide many, even after his physical exit.
Shri Sai’s deeds and life were full of miracles, but the greatest miracle was His creation of this once inconsequential person to the status of a sadguru within four years! The methods used by Shri Sai to completely transform Kashinath Sastri, the pain taken by him to protect the neophyte, and the assurance with which he grew this unsure and confused disciple to the state of a Perfect Master, indicate where in the spiritual hierarchy of this world Shri Sai is positioned.
Shri Sai once told one of His close associates that the endeavor should be to create these perfect men so that they can, in turn, spiritually uplift thousands and millions of other souls from the state of Jivatma (bonded souls) to the state of Shivatma (Perfect souls). To evolve Kashinath was no easy task for Shri Sai. It is said that the difference in the state of consciousness between a stone and an ordinary man can be compared with the difference between an ordinary man and a Sadguru. Like a man turning a piece of stone by using a hammer and chisel into a beautiful piece of sculpture, the Sadguru can change a gross individual into a perfect soul. This is what Shri Sai was trying to do with Kashinath. Sometimes, the methods he used were harsh from the point of view of Kashinath but meant for his evolution to that perfect state only.
The Kanya Kumari Sthan (monastery for lady-priests) is the unique contribution of Shri Upasani Baba. It is a great experiment in harnessing the female Shakti and has given a new dimension to spiritual endeavours. Virgin girls at a tender age were selected to be initiated in comprehensive training in Sanskrit and in memorizing and reciting the Vedas and other ancient Scriptures. They were also expected to imbibe Vedic culture and civilization’s traditional spiritual philosophies and perform puja and yajnas. He carved out an arduous program by which the young girls would remain absorbed in the contemplation of the Divine. Gradually, the Sthan achieved a triumphant revival of the old Vedic atmosphere when women took a leading part in the spiritual regeneration of the country. This daring and courageous departure from the old orthodox customs of debarring women from religious rites and spiritual progress brought down a storm of criticism against him and his persecution. Still, with his courage and spiritual power, he overcame all the ignorant criticism.
