Balaram Dhurandhar was born on February 19, 1878, into a well-known Alankar Pathare Prabhu family in Mumbai. As described in Chapter 51, his family members were devout, with a simple way of life and firm faith in Shri Rama. Balaram, however, took refuge in Vithala. He was highly educated, having received a Western education that earned him the title of Advocate. In addition to his legal profession, he was an expert in philosophy and a famous scholar. Despite his worldly success, he had a great liking for the spiritual path and was a supreme devotee of Sai Baba. His life concluded at a young age when he merged into Brahman on June 9, 1925.
