Madhavrao Lieutenant Madhavrao Jadhav : Madhavrao Bhagawantrao Jādhav (b.1873), Sri Aurobindo’s most intimate friend at Baroda. He & his elder brother, Khāserao, agreed with his political ideas & projects &both helped him whenever possible in his political work. Another close friend & collaborator was K.G. Deshpande. Madhavrao, who was Adjutant of the Gaekwād’s Bodyguard, admitted Jatin Banerji into his squadron. Some years later, Tilak & Sri Aurobindo sent Madhavrao to India House where arrangements were made for his training on the Continent in military science & manufacture of ordnance. Later, under a recommendation from the Russian Legation (in which Tilak had some contacts) he was permitted to carry on further studies in the Swiss army. During one of its manoeuvres he saw British officers invited as observers & thought it best to hasten back to Baroda. In 1908, Madhavrao opened a fund for Sri Aurobindo’s defence in the Alipore Bomb Trial. In 1913, the Gaekwad appointed him a captain in the 2nd Regiment of his State Infantry.
... Maharaja of Baroda by Mr. Khaserao Jadhav in England. Not true. Sri Aurobindo became acquainted with Khaserao two or three years after his arrival in Baroda, through Khaserao's brother, Lieutenant Madhavrao Jadhav. [It was] 1 James Cotton, brother of Sir Henry (who was a friend of Dṛ K.D. Ghose) who introduced Sri Aurobindo to the Gaekwar. Cotton became secretary of the South Kensington Liberal ...

"He was the same age as Aurobindo," wrote D. K. Roy in his book, "and they were great friends. Aurobindo was of a grave temperament; but when he and Madhavrao talked together, his gravity would vanish completely. From both would flow... on with his description. "Madhavrao mostly spoke in Marathi, and Sri Aurobindo generally Page 52 replied in English. Nine tenths of the time it was Madhavrao who talked, Aurobindo talked only one tenth of the time." However, the Bengali teacher observed that his pupil was more fluent in Marathi than in Bengali. The Bengali 'novelist' — as Madhavrao called him —was quite surprised... his taste and he spent most evenings with them whenever free from his studies or other works. We can now have a pleasant nodding acquaintance with one of them, Lt. Madhavrao Jadhav. He was a very close friend of A. G. 's. Madhavrao would often drop in of an evening for a chat. A. G. himself was not talkative, but he was a very good listener. And, oh, how he would laugh I The Jadhavs were ...

The most intimate friend at Baroda was Khaserao's brother, Page 38 Lieutenant Madhavrao Jadhav who was associated with him in his political ideas and projects and helped him whenever possible in his political work. He lived with M. in his house most of the time he was at Baroda. There ...

Lieutenant Madhavrao Jadhav was waiting on the platform to receive them. He took them to his brother Khaserao's house. This palatial, double-storeyed building was red —like Théon's at Tlemcen! —and situated on the main ...
... some examples from his personal observation. "And then there is what happened about Madhavrao's son." Could have been the Anandrao whom we have already met. "He was dying; doctors gave up hope. Madhavrao wired to them to stop medicines and to pray to God. They did it and the son was cured. I know this as a fact. Madhavrao himself showed me the telegram." But more frequently he would cite the case... doctors of Calcutta." But other systems of medicines than allopathy were known in India. "Once I had a nasty abscess on the knee in Baroda," said Sri Aurobindo. "All treatment failed. Then Madhavrao Jadhav called in a Mahomedan who pricked the Page 167 knee at a particular point and brought out a big drop of black blood and the abscess was cured soon afterwards I Sri Aurobindo ...

'Well, young man!' and with such other European greetings, Khaserao heartily patted me on the back and welcomed me. Madhavrao, a lieutenant in the army, was dark; with his calm grace and quick smile, he became my friend at first sight." A new life of leisure began for Barin. This is how he describes the house. "A ...
... Baroda till the beginning of July. I shall probably be going separately & may also reach on the 1ṣṭ of July. If you like, you might go there a little before & put up with Deshpande. I have asked Madhavrao to get my new house furnished, but I don't know what he is doing in that direction. Banerji is, I believe, in Calcutta. He came up to see me at Deoghur for a day.

... Baroda was Lieutenant Madhavrao Jadhav, who was associated with him in his political ideas and helped him in later years, whenever possible, in his political work. Among his other friends were Khasirao Jadhav and Keshavrao G. Deshpande, the latter of whom Sri Aurobindo had known at Cambridge. In the early years at Baroda, Sri Aurobindo often stayed either with Khasirao or his brother Madhavrao, but ...
... People say you had three very intimate friends. One of them is dead, one still alive. We don't know about the remaining one. SRI AUROBINDO: One was Deshpande who was very intimate: he is dead. Madhavrao was another: he is also dead. Who was the third? PURANI: Kasherao? SRI AUROBINDO: Kasherao was not so intimate. NIRODBARAN: Dutt speaks of going back once more and then coming to stay here ...

Madhavrao wired to them to stop medicines all and pray to God. They did it and the son was cured. I know this as a fact. Madhavrao himself showed me the telegram.

We suppose it really was Khaserao, as Madhavrao had been sent to England in 1905. "One evening," Patkar called up into his narrative a scene from those bygone days, "I saw Barindra going with the planchette into the room where all the three used ...

"How could you do that?" he asked, "I could not live for six months without quarrelling with him." We all forgot ourselves rolling with laughter and ...
