Bhagwan Gopinath (3 July 1898 – 28 May 1968), born Gopinath Bhan, also called Bhagwan Gopinath Ji, was a mystic saint of early 20th century Kashmir in India. He has been called a jivanmukta (liberated soul)[2] and his spiritual state has been described as Shambhavi avastha (state of Shiva).[3] Contemporary saints of his times have also called him an Aghoreshwar.[4] It was sometime during 1946–1956 that he came to be called as Bhagwan by his devotees.[3][5]
Though not much is known about who his spiritual master was, he is known to have remarked that one can consider Bhagvad Gita as one's spiritual master.[6] In his teachings, he regarded the practice of "self-enquiry" (atma vichara) as highly effective in helping a seeker attain self-realization.[7] He considered lust and ego as impediments in one's spiritual development and extolled the virtues of honesty and truthfulness.[1][8] He wouldn't differentiate between religions and regarded Hindus and Muslims to be one and the same.[9] During various periods of his life, he spent considerable time meditating at various shrines in Kashmir as he considered it spiritually beneficial and would recommend the same to spiritual seekers.
