“When Boredom comes, it is the time during which discovery is to be made. That is the time during which real effort (purushartha) can be made. But instead, people push it aside.”

Indian spiritual leader from Gujarat

Dada Bhagwan, also known as Dadashri, was an Indian spiritual leader from Gujarat. Born Ambalal Muljibhai Patel, he founded the Akram Vignan Movement and became known for his teachings after his self-realization in 1958. He worked as a contractor for a company that maintained dry docks in Bombay before stepping back from daily business to focus on spiritual aims. His movement grew in western India and beyond, and his teaching placed strong emphasis on ahimsa, or non-violence, and vegetarianism.
