Sri Ramakant Maharaj (b. 08 July 1941), is a direct disciple of the late Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj (d. 08 September 1981), and spent 19 years with him. He is an Indian spiritual teacher of Advaita, Nonduality, and a Guru, belonging to the Inchegiri branch of the Navnath Sampradaya. He offers initiation to this Sampradaya.

Ramakant Sawant was brought up in rural Phondaghat, Gadgesakhal Wadi. In 1965, he attended the prestigious establishment of Elphinstone College, Bombay, at the behest of Nisargadatta Maharaj. Following this, he graduated from Bombay University in 1972, (M.A in History and Politics). In 1976, he obtained his LLB qualification, from Siddhartha Law College, Bombay. He worked in banking, in the Legal Department, from 1970 until his retirement as Manager in 2000.

He is married to Anvita Sawant, also a long-standing disciple of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj. They have two sons.

In 1962, Ramakant Maharaj was introduced by relatives to his future Guru, Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj. After spending a few months with the Master, he took the Naam Mantra, the Guru Mantra on 2nd October, 1962. From then on he attended faithfully, and listened to Nisargadatta Maharaj's discourses regularly. He was present at his Master's Mahasamadhi on 8th September 1981.

During the last decade or so, at Ranjit Ashram in Nashik Road, (Nashik, Maharashtra), Sri Ramakant Maharaj has been introducing students, disciples and devotees from around the world to these teachings and, on occasion, initiating them into the Inchegiri Navnath Sampradaya Lineage.

About his life, Maharaj says, "I know my past and where I have come from. I am a miracle. All thanks to my Master, Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj".
