Description
Curriculum

This course explores the incredible life of Sant Jalaram Bapa (1799–1881), a 19th-century saint who transformed service into a spiritual path. Starting from a humble shopkeeper’s son, Jalaram Bapa established the Sadavrat (perpetual free kitchen) in Virpur, defying worldly logic and proving that faith and selfless labor (Seva) can move mountains.

We will study his prophecy-filled birth, the wisdom that guided him to the Grihasthashram (householder’s life), the spectacular Parchas (miracles) that built trust across all religions, and the ultimate divine test of his commitment.

Learn how Jalaram Bapa created a legacy so powerful that his main temple today runs without accepting a single donation, showing us all that purity of intention is the only true wealth.
