Srikrishnaswaroop Param Poojya Leelatai Karve
Sri Dwarkadhish Charities would like to express its deepest gratitude to Srikrishnaswaroop Late Poojya Leela Vinayak Karve, popularly known as Leelatai, for her blessings and guidance in the formation of the Trust and construction of the beautiful Dwarkadhish Temple.
For over four decades, Tai had devotedly and selflessly carried the spiritual mission of spreading Lord Krishna's message all over the world. She finally attained permanent place at the feet of Lord Krishna when she took Dhyansamadhi on 10th February, 2003 at New Delhi. In order to express our gratitude to Guru Poojya Leelatai, the trust has named the Dhyanmandir after her, as Sri Leela Samadhi Mandir and also created a Samadhisthal. At the base of the Samadhi the ashes of Poojya Tai along with her personal belongings and holy books are placed. Her Padukas carved in Lotus are installed for the benefit of all the devotees and followers.
A medical centre known as Sri Leela Chikitsalaya, where expert doctors examine patients and offer outdoor treatment, has also been started in the memory of Leelatai.
Param Poojya Nana Maharaj Paranjape
Shri. Pandurang Balkrishna alias Nana Maharaj Paranjape, a disciple of Sri Swami Samarth Maharaj of Akkalkot is a living inspiration behind the formation and activities of the Trust. Param Poojya Nana Maharaj stepped into Sai Hari Kshetra in 1982 and converted it into a Holy Tapobhumi. His selfless service to the devotees of Swami Samarth Maharaj and his message of love, purity and well being of the Universe has always inspired us in carrying out our religious and social activities. Poojya Nana Maharaj always says, "Krishna and Maharaj are one and the same and every worship ultimately reaches at the feet of Lord Krishna". With his blessings the trust has decided to put up two prestigious projects, Geeta Bhavan and Sri Yogeshwar Arogyadhama. We pray Lord Krishna to give Nana Maharaj a long, healthy life so that we are forever blessed with his grace.
