Situated on the holy banks of the Chandrabhaga River, our temple serves as a beacon of peace, devotion, and spiritual education.
Our Mission
Our mission is to bring the people of the world together for a spiritual purpose and to educate them in the techniques of spiritual life in order to achieve real unity and peace in the world.
Sacred Heritage
We preserve the rich cultural and spiritual heritage of Pandharpur, the land of Lord Vitthal.
Spiritual Education
Through contests, courses, and workshops, we make Vedic wisdom accessible to the modern generation.
Community Support
We engage in various social welfare activities, including Annadan (food distribution) and youth guidance.
Devotional Path
We provide a platform for everyone to experience the joy of Bhakti Yoga through chanting and service.
The Essay Contest Initiative
The Global Essay Contest is one of our flagship initiatives designed to encourage deep study and contemplation of sacred texts like the Bhagavad Gita and Ramayana. By engaging with these texts through writing, participants internalize life-changing values and philosophical truths.
We invite you to be part of this transformative journey and contribute your voice to the global spiritual dialogue.
