They experience freedom here and now, while living their daily life. Current link for attaining the knowledge of Self- realization (Atma Gnan) The link of Akram Gnanis now continues with the current spiritual master Pujya Deepakbhai Desai whom Pujya Dadashri “I am personally going to impart siddhis (special spiritual had also graced with special siddhis to continue to teach the powers) to a few people.

Dadashri had said that Deepakbhai ~ Dadashri will become the decorum that will add splendor to the Lord’s 5 6 reign.

An ardent desire to know the Absolute Truth and preconceived notions or insistence of opinion is contradictory. Liberation can never be attained through insistence of opinion; it is only when one becomes free from all prejudices, partialities and non-insistence that one becomes successful in his endeavors. Liberation is only at the feet of the Gnani. If ever an opportunity arises of meeting the Gnani and a connection be established with Him, then Liberation is in the palm of your hands. Many have been blessed with this ‘step-less’ path to liberation – Akram Vignan – and that too, in just one hour! Unprecedented, unique, unheard of before, and beyond credulity is this fact and yet a proven verity through experience. Liberation calls for no efforts if one is fortunate enough to come in communion with a Gnani. However, extremely difficult and rare is such a communion.
