![]() ![]() The Brahmins are said to have refused to perform the ceremony when Vithalpant wanted to perform Nivrittinath’s thread ceremony. Vithalpant and Rukminibai were very religious and devout. Vithalpant had taken Sanyas but returned home to Alandi on the instruction of his Guru. The couple had three other children Nivrittinath (1273 CE/Shaka 1195), Sopan (1277 CE/Shaka 1199), and Muktabai (1279 CE/Shaka 1201). Dnyaneshwar (1275 CE/Shaka 1197) was the second son of Vithalpant and Rukminibai. Sant Dnyaneshwar Maharaj came from a family who held the ‘watan’ of Kulkarni in Apegaon, located on Godavari’s northern bank eight miles east of Paithan. Bhakti movement’s Sant Dnyaneshwar Maharaj brought Dharma to the common masses by writing and preaching in Marathi. Maharashtra is as much a land of Sants as it is of warriors and freedom fighters.
