Pujya Deepakbhai Desai was born on May 9, 1953 in Morbi, Gujarat, India.He is the current propagator of the Akram Vignan movement founded by Dada Bhagwan.
Pujya Deepakbhai was born in Morbi, Gujarat, India. His place of origin (paternal hometown) is Vavania, and his family home is right next door to that of Shrimad Rajchandra.He is the youngest among five children. He graduated with a degree in Mechanical Engineering from VJTI College in Mumbai in the early 1970s.
After graduating from college, he worked in the textile industry as a Mechanical Engineer for a few years. He then created and ran a consulting firm, which was also in the textile industry, until he retired and dedicated his entire life to the service of the Akram Vignan mission.
Pujya Deepakbhai attained Self Realization from Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan (Dadashri) on March 6, 1971 at the age of Seventeen.He was introduced to Dadashri by one his elder brothers who was very spiritual and was deeply moved by Dadashri's science of Self-realization called Akram Vignan. At the time his brother took him to meet Dadashri, Deepakbhai was studying engineering. His brother told him that Dadashri's science would help him remember and focus in his studies.
When he first embarked upon this spiritual path, his father had opposed him, however after many years, his father realized that his son was indeed on the right path and told him, "Deepak, you are my true Guru. You have showed me the true path to Liberation." Deepakbhai brought much comfort to his father as he cared for him during his final days.
During the early years when there were only a few spiritual aspirants seeking Dadashri's satsang, Deepakbhai helped Pujya Niruma, who was in constant seva (devoted service) of Pujya Dadashri, write and record Dadashri’s satsangs (spiritual discourses). He helped with the publishing of these books and personally distributed them. He also took the responsibility of preparing and making arrangements for Dadashri’s spiritual discourses.
Throughout the community, he is known for his sincerity and utmost humbleness. For instance, he would help Pujya Niruma serve Dada Bhagwan and even help out carrying menial tasks such as sweeping the floor, placing floor mats, preparing for spiritual discourses, and running errands.
In the early 70's when audio cassettes were not readily available, he and Niruma painstakingly recorded Dadashri's satsangs by writing in a diary but later they started using a tape recorder. He also used to help Niruma collect and compile various topics for many other books on the spiritual science of Akram Vignan; these books have profoundly touched the lives of thousands of people. He was the editor of the monthly magazine "Dadavani," from 1995 to 2007.
Dadashri liked to answer the probing questions proposed to him by Deepakbhai as it helped bring to surface the ultimate spiritual knowledge. Deepakbhai engaged Dadashri in intense and in depth discussions on the topic of celibacy and on the state of the awakened awareness of the true Self; Self-realization. These satsangs became the core material for publication of many books on ultimate spirituality and the universal truth. In 1977 Dadashri had said about Deepakbhai, "This boy's uninterrupted awareness of the Atma (soul) will adorn the seat (teachings) of Lord Mahavir. After Lord Mahavir, in the last 2500 years, there has not been anyone with such an awareness." Deepakbhai was 23 at the time.
In 1987, Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan graced him with special blessings to conduct spiritual satsangs.Besides India, he conducts Satsangs and Gnan Vidhi ceremonies throughout the year, in various other countries.In 2003, Pujya Niruma bestowed Pujya Deepakbhai with special blessings, which were originally given by Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, to give Atma Gnan (Self Realization).
Known for his pure celibacy, he has been conducting discourses on this topic and has been a role model for youth, who have a special interest in practicing celibacy.His spiritual discourses are in the form of question and answer sessions and for the past eight years they have been regularly broadcast on various Indian TV channels throughout the world.
