In Jintur tehsil, Shri. Dnyanoba Patil Dudhgaonkar (Shindeshahi Raut) was a great leader as well as a spiritual person. He used to participate in now-world-famous Pandharpur waari (pilgrimage). The Pandharpur pilgrimage of those days didn’t have many facilities. On one of such pilgrimage, Shri. Dnyanoba Patil lost his earthly life.

During such sad times for the family, Tanu bai Parve Raut took care of everyone properly and built legacy for family. Tanu bai used to look after affairs of villages, when needed firmly dealt with Razakars. Her only son Shri. Nagorao Dudhgaonkar passed away in 1950, due to illness. Shri. Nagorao was treated at Jalna hospital during his final days.

Dudhgaonkar family has many such special things to its credit. This family is considered a fantastic values-based success story…!!

Pandharpur waari (pilgrimage) is considered largest cultural and religious festival of Maharashtra. In this waari, many processions of legendary saints reach Pandharpur for आषाढ़ी कार्तिकी. In this waari, for Dudhikar दिंडी procession number 23, Dudhgaonkar family is entrusted with a special blessing. Dudhgaonkar family is privileged to have the honour of Abhishek (consecration) of Sant Dnyaneshwar Maharaj Paduka at Velapur, near Pandharpur.

One of the golden moments for Dudhgaonkar family…

Dudhgaonkar family has contributed not only for Parbhani district’s progress but also for entire Marathwada and Maharashtra.

For example, even today Late Limbajirao Dudhgaonkar’s name is taken with respect, “In Parbhani’s history, no other person has operated district central cooperative bank PDCC bank like Limbajirao did.” PDCC till date has jurisdiction covering both Parbhani and Hingoli districts. Maharashtra’s famous former minister and MP Shri Ganeshrao Dudhgaonkar can easily be called as a rare non-corrupt politician in state’s politics.

Blessed Hindu!!

These all possibly were important factors that on the humble invitation of Adv. Shri. Ganeshrao Nagorao Dudhgaonkar, Sri Kshetra Jagannathpuri Peethadhishwar Pujyapad Jadguru Shankaracharya Swami Nischhalanand Saraswati Ji came to Parbhani after many decades gap.

This is a rare blessing & privilege for a Hindu!!

Samir, The Thought-leader acted on his inner voice about connecting with Almighty God in July 2002 itself. Samir regularly addresses crowds about basic teachings of Shrimad-Bhagavat-Gita.
