Shri Gajanan Maharaj
Sadguru Shri Gajanan Maharaj
Born	Unknown[a] Shegaon
Died	8 September 1910 Shegaon, Central Provinces and Berar, British India

Gajanan Maharaj was an Indian Hindu guru, saint and mystic. His origins remain uncertain. He first appeared at Shegaon, a village in Buldhana district, Maharashtra, as a young man aged 30, probably on 23 February 1878. He attained Sanjeevana Samadhi on 8 September 1910, which is thought to be a process of voluntary withdrawal from one's physical body. This date of his Samadhi is commemorated every year as part of the Shree Punyatithi Utsav.^[1] The date of his first appearance is considered an auspicious day and is celebrated as Prakat Din Sohla.^[2]
