Discourses of Rashtrasantha Tukadoji Maharaj : A Philosophical Branch

Abstract

                    Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharanja was influenced by Indian ideology. Tukadoji Maharaj in his discourses repeatedly shows how important the idea of religion, which has been ruling India for thousands of years, Indian folklore and religion are considered to be two inseparable elements.Because religion is an element that pervades all spheres of life here. Therefore, it is impossible to distinguish between religion and life, he says. Rashtrasant has also accepted the concept of religion as accepted by the traditional Indian theology.At the same time, he says, some of the ideas and principles behind launching festivals in the field of religion were to unite people and give them a new direction.The thread that binds all these philosophies together is religion. Yes, religion is the right behaviour of human beings towards other human beings. While considering the philosophical side of his theology, this philosophical side is the culmination of the festival celebrations of the philosophical thoughts expressed in Vedas, Upanishads, Gita, which he has elaborated in his discourses on the role of the festival and its relation to human life. These discourses of Rashtrasant were for the common man. Therefore, they have shown the true nature of religion in simple language that they can understand. What is special about the philosophical thought of the Rashtrasant is that he put the traditional principles in the modern language in front of everyone and made everyone aware of its eternal values.
