From founder’s desk
An incredible event from my life and Trust Objectives
In my life I have seem many fascinating events related to my Dadiji’s (Maa Bhanwari bai) religious way of life, out of which I will tell you one wonderful incident. When I was a little boy, while serving cows with my Dadiji (Maa Bhavri Bai), she got bitten by a snake. Seeing this incident, my heart started pulsing very fast and the tears started to roll down my cheeks. It was a terrifying moment for me. But when I looked at my Dadiji, with my wet eyes, I was stunned. Instead of crying with pain, she got herself some medicinal leaves and started praying for her health. I couldn’t believe that is such a awful event, someone would calmly pray to god & think about eating some leaves! At this point I asked her “What are you doing? You have been bitten by a snake and you are chanting the name of God while consuming the leaves?“. Truly speaking, her response was enlightening. She said consuming Tulsi and Neem leaves, reduces the effect of a poisonous creature, and Michaikand and Madanphal are two ayurvedic herbs that reduces ends all our bodily poison. She said that while taking these medicines, we should pray to the God Mahamrityunjay.
This incident awakened my conscience and when I became financially capable, the idea of doing religious work embedded in my heart and gradually my tendency towards religious works increased. Influenced by this and many such fascinating events from my Dadiji’s life, I had hoped to form a charitable trust in the auspicious name of my Dadiji, Maa Bhanwari Bai.
After I retired from my job, I decided to use my retirements funds for this this meaningful work. After a period of time after my retirement, I accepted Vanaprastha Ashram after getting the grace and permission of Nimbark Peethadheeshwar Shri Shreeji Maharaj (Salemabad) and finally decided to form a trust with this beautiful name: Dadima Bhanwari Bai Asopa Dharmarth Trust.
Now a question began to arise in my mind that who can I help through this trust. At that very moment in my heart I focused the life & routine of my dadiji, and remembered the things she use to tell me: e
- Recite the worship of God.
- Let no one go to bed hungry.
- Poor Brahmins should take interest in our religion.
- May God keep everyone a good health.
- No child should remain illiterate.
- We help the poor as much as we can.
- Serve Cows (Gau Mata).
- Build or renovate temples.
When I remembered this, the purpose of Dadiji’s life; it touched my heart and keeping her words in mind, I took the following objectives under the trust:
Religious Work
- Repair and construction work of temples.
- To get rituals and worship done on auspicious occasions.
- To conduct the Yagyopavit Sanskar of poor children.
- Providing financial assistance in Gaushalas.

Health
- To provide medicines to the poor persons; to get the physical examination done and to provide the doctor’s fee.
