'''Vishnu Bhikaji Gokhale''' (1825–1871), popularly known as '''Vishnubawa Brahmachari''' and as '''Brahmachari Bawa''',{{sfn|Kulkarni and Wagle, 1999|p=158}} was a 19th-century [[Marathi people|Marathi]] [[Hinduism|Hindu]] [[Hindu revivalism|revivalist]]. An ascetic defender of the [[Sanatana Dharma|Hindu]] [[dharma]], he was known for his religious polemics, chiefly against [[Christianity]]. He was known for his "witty repartee and vigorous argument" confronting Christian missionaries and, occasionally, other Hindus. His 1857 debates in [[Bombay]] were widely publicized in [[English language|English]] and [[Marathi language|Marathi]] in at least nine books. He has been described variously as "the first great revivalist of modern Maharashtra," "predecessor of the two great swamis of modern times, Dayananda and Vivekananda," and "a queer bird."{{sfn|Jones and Husdon, 1992|p=9}}

==Biography==
Brahmachari was born Vishnu Bhikaji Gokhale on Nagpanchami day on 20 July 1825 in the village of [[Shiravali]] (near [[Mahad]] in the then [[Kolaba district|Thana district]]) as the tenth child of a Konkanastha ([[Chitpavan]]) Brahman family.{{sfn|Jones and Husdon, 1992|p=9}} Educated in a village school for a few years, he also studied the [[Vedas]].{{sfn|Jones and Husdon, 1992|p=9}} He arrived in Bombay in 1856.{{sfn|Jones and Husdon, 1992|p=9}} He was the author of "''The Marathi ''avatar'' of ''The Communist Manifesto."{{sfn|Jones and Husdon, 1992|p=9}} He died on a ''Mahashivarathri'' day in the Viththal Mandir in Bombay on 18 February 1871.{{sfn|Jones and Husdon, 1992|p=23}}
