Brahma Chaitanya → Brahmachaitanya – The name is supposed to be a single word, not two. In basic language, Marathi as well, the given name is a single word. So, there is no reason for the article title to have two words. Google searches for the same also contain just a single word.

Brahmachaitanya → Gondavalekar Maharaj – Gondavalekar Maharaj is the most popular name of Brahmachaitanya Swami. In fact the official website says his name as Gondavalekar Maharaj, Most of the citation in Google News also mentions his name as Gondavalekar Maharaj. So i request to please change the page name from Brahmachaitanya to Gondavalekar Maharaj. MRRaja001 ^(talk) 16:14, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@MRRaja001:, Gondavalekar Maharaj is how I have known him but using that name may fall foul of Wikipedia no honorifics policies.just check how often the request to add Chhatrapati and Maharaj to Shivaji is rejected. Let us see whether anybody else weighs in on the request.Thanks.Jonathansammy (talk) 16:58, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If that was the case there are already many articles where Maharaj is mentioned as part of name and not as honorific for saints. Here are few popular saints Narayan Maharaj, Upasani Maharaj, Panth Maharaj, Nisargadatta Maharaj, Bhausaheb Maharaj, Changdev Maharaj, Gajanan Maharaj, Gadge Maharaj, Tukdoji Maharaj, Pramukh Swami Maharaj, Yogiji Maharaj, Shastriji Maharaj, and Gulabrao Maharaj.
