Sajjangad:
Samarth
Ramdas lived for long time at Sajjangad, a small hillock near Satara. He
breathed his last here and devotees worship his mausoleum here. This is an
important centre of worship for the Ramdasi sect. Ramdas swami remains an
inspiration for the technique he developed in infusing Nationalism and Dharmic
devotion among ordinary people across the country by his concept of Hanuman
temple, akhaada and
a Paathashaala in every village. His emphasis on Rashtra chintana along
with spiritual sadhana is
more relevant today than it was anytime before.
