Because he was a prominent Maratha spiritual leader, he had a wide following among politicians and businessmen cutting across party lines in Maharashtra, who flock to him for ‘advice’ on spiritual matters.
According to his website, Yuva Rastra Saint Shri Sadguru Bhaiyyuji Maharaj is mentioned as a spiritual leader, social reformer and motivator, whose sole aim is to bring happiness on the faces of countless poor and downtrodden people, lift them from morass of despair, poverty, social inequality and enable them to live a life of dignity.
