Paramhamsa Madhavdasji
One of the biggest accomplishments of Paramhamsa Madhavdasi was the ‘Improvement of Sadhus' conference that he held in the year 1909. He believed that Sadhus are capable of bringing change in the society provided they are formally educated, have knowledge of scriptures, are detached, and have renounced everything. No individual Sadhu had done this prior to him.
In attendance were 10 to 15 thousand Sadhus, scholars, learned and respected people of society, government officers, kings and their ministers. And probably for the first time all the four heads of the Vaishnav Sadhu sect i.e. Shri Ramanuj Swami, Shri Vishu Swami, Shri Nimbarkcharya and Shri Madhavcharya. Among others who attended the session were representatives from every religion and philosophy. The four-day session was held from 24th to 27th of December 1909. It is worth knowing how he managed an event of such a magnitude at that time. This event was also covered by popular newspapers.

How hunger and thirst run our lives
कर्तव्य की भावना से कार्य में उत्कृष्ठता (excellence)
क ई तरह की व्यवस्थाएँ हैं, जो हमें सचेत करती हैं कि हमें क्या करना है। माता-पिता, समाज, कानून आदि के प्रति हमारे कुछ उत्तरदायित्व होते हैं, कर्तव्य व व्यवहार के कुछ नियम होते हैं जिनका हमें पूर्ण रूप से पालन करना होता है, परन्तु बहुत से लोग अपने कर्तव्यों के प्रति लापरवाह होते हैं, उन्हें अपने कर्तव्य पालन करना पसंद नहीं है ।
