1 jan 1849 ano - Paramahansa Mandali by Durgaram Mehtaji, Dadoba Pandurang 1849

Descrição:

Paramahansa Mandali was a secret socio-religious group, established in 1849, in Bombay and is closely related to Manav Dharma Sabha which was founded in 1844 in Surat. It was the first socio-religious organization of Maharashtra.


Dadoba Pandurang assumed the leadership of Paramahansa Mandali after leaving
the Manav Dharma Sabha. He outlined his principles in "Dharma Vivechan" in 1848
for Manav Dharma Sahba and "Paramhansik Bramhyadharma" for Paramahansa
Mandali. Dadoba outlined seven principles of this new movement:

The founders of Paramahansa Mandali believed in one god. Besides believing that
one god should be worshipped, the organisation also said true religion is based on
love and moral conduct. Its founders were primarily interested in breaking caste
rules. At their meetings, the food cooked by lower caste people was taken by the
members of this organisation. The Mandali also advocated widow remarriage and
women's education.
Branches of Paramahansa Mandali existed in Satra, Poona, and other towns of
Maharashtra. Young educated Brahmans from Maharashtra joined the Mandali.
However, the movement collapsed after 1860.
