Dwarkadhish Charities
“Sri Dwarkadhish Charities” was incorporated with the blessings of Lord Krishna and inspiration from our Guru Param Poojya Leelatai Karve,as a Public Charitable Trust, in February 1997. The Trust is registered under Bombay Public Trusts Act, 1950 and is formed with an object to spread the teachings and philosophy of Lord Krishna and the path laid down by Late Param Poojya Leelatai Karve of Badlapur, amongst the people of different casts, creeds and religions so as to preach amity, unity, brotherhood and further ignite the spirit of service and sacrifice for uplifting all human beings spiritually, socially and economically.
Sri Dwarkadhish Charities has multifold objectives and commitments to work in rural areas for upliftment of economically weaker citizens in the villages by providing them Educational help and Medical facilities. Our Trust has earned excellent reputation and goodwill in the rural areas of Raigad District from its very inception.
Sri Dwarkadhish Charities has constructed a “Dwarkadhish Lord Krishna” temple at Sri Krishna Leela Farms, Saihari Kshetra, Apta Phata on the Mumbai-Goa Highway in December 1996. Mahashivaratri, Ram Navami, Guru Poornima and Sri Krishna Janmashtami are some of the utsavas celebrated at the temple. A ‘Dhyan Mandir’ in the temple premises was constructed and later converted into a Samadhi Mandir of our beloved Guru Param Poojya Leelatai Karve in May 2004 to provide a serene and peaceful environment for devotees who wish to meditate or chant prayers and mantras.
A Medical Centre has been set up which includes Outpatient Department. Over 12,000 patients from almost 85 villages in the surrounding areas are benefited by this Centre,who are charged nominal amounts for diagnosis and treatment. We organize various Medical Camps for providing free consultation, diagnosis and treatment by team of renowned doctors from various faculties of Medicine and Surgeries. However, nowadays the main problem is to obtain advice of devoted and dedicated doctors who are willing to spare a few hours a week for patients, in rural areas,for running regular OPD. We, therefore, appeal to young devoted doctors to come forward for this noble cause.
We also focus on various Educational activities and provide School Uniforms, Textbooks& Note Books, School kits, etc. in the Adivasi Padas (villages) of Raigad district. We conduct Cultural Programs of Indian classical/devotional music and dance at the temple and give opportunity to young and upcoming Artists in the field of Indian classical/devotional music, dance, etc.
