Traditional
history :
According to Nath tradition Sant Mauli Dnyaneshwar Maharaj was the second
of the four children of Vitthal Govind Kulkarni and Rukmini, a pious couple
from Apegaon near Paithan on the banks of the river Godavari.
Vitthal had studied Vedas and set
out on pilgrimages at a young age. In Alandi, about 30 km from Pune, Sidhopant,
a local Yajurveda brahmin, was very much impressed with him and Vitthal married
his daughter Rukmini.
After some time, getting
permission from Rukmini, Vitthal went to Kashi(Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh,
India), where he met Ramananda Swami and requested to be initiated into
sannyas, lying about his marriage.
But Ramananda Swami later went to
Alandi and, convinced that his student Vitthal was the husband of Rukmini, he
returned to Kashi and ordered Vitthal to return home to his family. The couple
was excommunicated from the brahmin caste as Vitthal had broken with sannyas,
the last of the four ashrams. Four children were born to them; Nivrutti in
1273, Dnyandev (Dnyaneshwar) in 1275, Sopan in 1277 and daughter Mukta in 1279.
According to some scholars their
birth years are 1268, 1271, 1274, 1277 respectively. It is believed that later
Vitthal and Rukmini ended their lives by jumping into the waters at Prayag
where the river Ganges meets Yamuna hoping that their children would be
accepted into the society after their death.
Varkari
Movement :
Sant Mauli
Dnyaneshwar Maharaj introduced the Varkari Movement (or Vitthala Sampradaya) of
Pandharpur (founder of the Varkari movement).
The Varkaris soon considered him
their teacher and spiritual leader, who initiated his contemporaries associated
with the Dvaita (dualism) school of the bhakti movement into Advaita (non-dualism).
He strongly advocated jnana yukta bhakti
(devotion guided by knowledge) and believed that one can not be liberated
unless one attains the true and divine knowledge of Brahman.
