[[File:Pujyashree Deepakbhai.png|thumb|Pujyashree Deepakbhai]]

Pujya Deepakbhai is one of the prominent Indian spiritual leaders, who has a satsang program on Aastha TV, which is becoming increasingly popular.

Born on May 9, 1953 in Morbi, Deepakbhai’s calm and simple disposition was already evident from a very early age. He is the youngest of the five brothers and sisters. When still a child, his older brother took him to Dadashri and on March 6, 1971 Deepakibhai received the knowledge of the Self - Atmajnana from Dadashri. For someone who was already exhibiting somewhat ascetic tendencies, Deepakbhai now gained a tremendous impetus to self-learn, and attain the true goal of liberation.

He pursued his studies and attained a degree in Mechanical Engineering. After launching his own business as a Consulting Engineer, he decided to join the spiritual path. Taking Param Pujya [[Dada Bhagwan]]'s instructions sincerely, Pujya Deepakbhai <ref>{{cite web|title=The hidden jewel|url=http://www.dadabhagwan.org/gnani-purush-spiritual-masters/pujya-deepakbhai/the-hidden-jewel}}</ref> immediately put it into practice. Within two to three years, his spiritual awareness soared to such astounding heights, that in 1977, Param Pujya Dadashri said of him,no one has attained such a level of awareness. This Deepak will become the jewel that adorns Lord Mahavir's teachings!".
