Chaitanya Maharaj Degloorkar.

 चैतन्य महाराज देगलूरकर

Early Life & Background

His full name is ह. भ. प. चैतन्य महाराज देगलूरकर (H. B. P. Chaitanya Maharaj Deglurkar). 

He was born on 4 November 1971. 

His religious affiliation is with the Warkari tradition (वारकरी संप्रदाय). 

His “upāsya” (worshipped deity) is Vitthal (Vithoba) of Pandharpur, a central figure in the Warkari movement. 

Spiritual Work & Activities

Chaitanya Maharaj engages in kirtans (devotional storytelling & singing) and pravachans (spiritual discourses). 

There are many recordings of his discourses online, e.g., on YouTube where he addresses topics like “बुद्धी म्हणजे काय?” (What is intellect?) in parts of his series. 

He also appears active online through social media (Instagram, Facebook) sharing glimpses of his work and teachings. 

Significance & Style

Within the Warkari tradition, the role of kirtankar and pravachan-kar is vital: making the teachings of saints like Sant Dnyaneshwar and Sant Tukaram accessible to common people. Chaitanya Maharaj continues in that lineage.

His style of discourse is praised as being accessible, evocative, and rooted in devotion, making traditional Marathi spiritual literature popular among contemporary audiences.

He brings together devotion (bhakti), philosophy, and cultural tradition — especially important in Maharashtra’s spiritual heritage.

What You Might Experience & Why It Matters

Attending or listening to his kirtan/discourse, one may hear:

Simple Marathi explanations of spiritual concepts (like intellect, devotion, service) in an everyday context.

Music & singing combined with storytelling — which helps engage people emotionally and spiritually.

Emphasis on the virtues of the Warkari path: devotion to Vitthal, surrender, walking the pilgrimage (wari) tradition, remembering the saints.

Why this matters: In a fast-changing world, such spiritual teachers help keep alive cultural/religious traditions in a way that resonates with modern listeners. They bridge the gap between scriptural philosophy and lived daily life.
