One would turn ecstatic while attending the devotional lectures and bhajans of Vittaldas Maharaj. He is an eminent preacher cum leader amongst people. He has established the Sri Vittal Rukmini Samsthan at Dakshina Pandaripuram and this is at Govindapuram, Thiruvidaimaruthur road, Kumbakonam in Tamilnadu. Sri Maharaj ji has been a follower of the great saint, Haridas Giri Maharaj.

Presentations and satsangs of Sri Vittaldas Maharajwill make one emotionally connect to lord Panduranga Vittala. Most of the times the sense organs get connected to pleasure giving thoughts and items. This is normal for human beings. However, one can reach an ecstatic state, while attending a programme conducted by Sri Vittaldas Maharaj. His speech and singing will take over our sense organs and take us to the feet of Panduranga Vittala. For people who state that surrender to the lord is very important, here is one method which helps us to surrender at the feet of sri pandruranga vittala.

Pandharpur or Pandaripuram in Maharashtra is well known and is famous for its sampradhaya. Shri Maha Baktha Vijayam talks about a number of people like namdev, tukaram, sakubai etc when it comes to devotion. Today, the people of India i.e Bharat is fortunate to follow the teachings and to enjoy the singing and bhajans of Vittaldas Maharaj. This helps us to mentally and physically connect ourselves to Sri Panduranga Vittala. His rendering and the accompanying music take over our sense organs and inturn take us close to the lord almighty Sri Pandruranga Vittala. This has been not just the experience of the few but the experience of lakhs of devotees of Sri Panduranga Vittala. Now Sri Maharaj ji is coming up with a master plan, and the details of the master plan have been enclosed.

An august temple of Sri Vittal and Sri Rukmini has been built in 8 acres of land in Maharashtrian style. The 28 steps to the entrance represents 28 constellations added to its divinity. The air conditioned hall is facilitated to house around 2000 devotees. The devotees of the temple / Deva Bhoomi will be graced to witness the annual festivals of Sri Rama navami, Ashada Ekadasi with Varakari Pada Yatra, Kumbabishekam day, Gokulashtami and Kartika Ekadasi. The devotees seeking to take part in the utsavam can make use of rooms that are built for the same.

Cow is representative of divine and natural beneficence and should therefore be protected and venerated. Go seva is the highest form of dharma. Sri Vittal Rukmini Samsthan has established Sri Gokulam Goshala in around 10 acres of land housing 1000 cows of various Indian breeds from various states. To venerate the same, Go pooja is performed in the goshala twice a day.

Sri Vittal Rukmini Integrated Vedic Academy is a part of Sri Vittal Rukmini Samsthan. The facility is developed in an area of 20 acres with 1,00,000 sq.ft built area to conserve, protect and educate vedas. The effort to bring all the twelve existing Sakhas of vedas under one roof is remarkable. The facility consists of Sarva Sakha Veda Vidyalaya, Shadanga, Sanskrit Pravesha Patasala, Veda Bashya College, Shrowtha College, Shastra College, Smartha Prayoga Patashala and Vaikanasa Agama Patashala. The school also teaches the modern CBSE education to the students of vedas with formal school infrastructure.

It will be in our interest, and our good fortune, if we get an opportunity to contribute in a very big way towards this cause financially. This will be a center of knowledge in our country and will once again grow to prove that India continues to be the fountainhead of philosophy globally. In order to retain the preeminent space of India as the viswaguru of the world, and why not the universe, it is important that we extend ourselves in order to support the efforts of Sri Maharaj and do the best to make his dream our own dream and the dream of our country. We can be sure that this dream will be recognized by everyone concerned and the day will not be too far off when our eminent Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji will come forward to inaugurate this facility and dedicate it to the nation in the presence of Sri Vittaldas Maharaj. His words and his intention have added to the religious, spiritual and cultural wealth of our country. Let us salute him at this moment and lend our hand in support towards this activity.
