Dinānāth Bhatt

Satsangi Bhaktas

Dinānāth Bhatt was a brāhmin devotee from Āmod (in Bharuch). He was a great scholar and proficient in writing Saskrut verses. He has the whole Bhagwat memorized. When Shriji Maharaj wrote Mayārām Bhatt’s name in the Shikshapatri and he was not mentioned, he perceived a fault in Maharaj. Moreover, he became influenced by kusang and stopped coming for Maharaj’s darshan. Subsequently, his daughter Jamanā was possessed with a ghost. He tried many means to exorcise the ghost but was not met with success. Therefore, he came back to Maharaj and asked for forgiveness. Maharaj called Mayārām Bhatt and Dinānāth Bhatt asked him for forgiveness. He started coming back to satsang.

Dinānāth Bhatt has asked questions regarding conviction in God’s form in Vachanamruts Kariyani 1 and 2. The background to these questions are mentioned in the history of those Vachanamruts.

Aksharbrahma Gunatitanand Swami has mentioned Dinānāth Bhatt in Swamini Vato Prakaran 11/17 and 12/189. These can be found in Aksharamrutam (in Gujarati): Amrut Kalash 4/18 and Amrut Kalash 22/12.
