Narayan Maharaj (May 20, 1885 - September 3, 1945) was a Hindu Indian spiritual master considered by his followers to be a sadguru. He lived in Kedgaon, India.
Narayan lost his parents at an early age and was cared for by his grandmother. He soon left home due to family quarrels, eventually seeking solitude in a Shiva temple. Later, on the advice of a saint, he went to Gangapur for about 10 months, and achieved spiritual heights. [1] Narayan often dressed lavishly and lived in a palace; he even had a giant silver throne. However, it is said that he was unselfish and that his compound gave continually to the poor. His motto was "Treat every one as God." Meher Baba contacted Narayan Maharaj in his youth and later said that Narayan was one of the five perfect masters of his time. Narayan's samadhi (tomb shrine) is in Bangalore, India.
