Brahmachaitanya Gondavalekar Maharaj (Feb 1845 - Dec 22, 1913) was a Hindu saint who resided in the Taluka of Maan at Gondavale Budruk in Satara District, Maharashtra, India. His pre-sainthood name was Ganapati. Brahmachaitanya was a devotee of the Hindu god Rama and signed his name as 'Brahmachaitanya Ramdasi'.

He left his home in search of a spiritual 'Guru' when he was just 9 years old. He went to Yehalegaon in Nanded district and became a disciple of Shri Sant Tukamai who gave him the name Brahmachaitanya.

He spent a lifetime teaching the importance of Nama Japa (chanting name of God). He advocated the continued remembrance of God by Nama Japa as a means of happiness, contentment and peace. He made extensive use of 'Pravachans', 'Bhajans', 'Vedic Anushthans' etc. for encouraging people to follow the path of Bhakti (devotion). He taught people the Mantra ' Shri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram' This Mantra has 13 letters (Alphabets). Each letter has its own meaning and Shri Maharaj has written 13 different 'Abhangas' on each of this letter. He said that this Mantra was given by Shi Rama to Sita and that this Mantra implies that Ram is our Master and is in our heart and takes care for all of us.
