We know that God is Omniscient. Saints are the manifest form of God. They have qualities related to spiritual practice, but most Saints do not have knowledge about worldly matters that is useful in spiritual practice. To my knowledge, H. H. Pande Maharaj is the only Saint who is an exception to this rule. Without thinking, He can instantaneously provide new perspectives on any subject like art, sculpting, spreading Spirituality, classes on raising children in a sattvik (spiritually pure) way, satseva related to collecting offerings through advertisements.

Saints are the true identity of the ashram. Only by the presence of Saints, Divine Consciousness (Chaitanya) is created in an ashram (hermitage) and seekers feel inspired to do spiritual practice. It is God’s grace on us that we are blessed with a gem of a Saint like H. H. Pande Maharaj. I pray at God’s feet to please bless H. H. Pande Maharaj with health and a long life to continue this divine mission. - Dr. Athavale, 5th November 2009

Knowledge:

He feels that seekers should progress quickly. Thus He gets knowledge from God and H. H. Dr. Athavale in the subtle dimension. This knowledge is inspirational to others. When He narrates it to seekers particles of prīti (unconditional love), knowledge and Divine Consciousness (Chaitanya) are emitted from Him.

Prīti (unconditional love):

His eyes depict prīti (unconditional love) due to immense devotion to God and purity within him. When looking at seekers, vibrations of prīti are emitted from him. He can develop closeness with others through His eyes. He loves each and everyone as a parent. He is in constant communion with God and Guru (H. H. Dr. Athavale).
