Meet our Guruji HH108 Shree Dwarkesh Lalji Mahraj Shree

His Holiness Goswami 108 Shree Dwarkesh Lalji Mahraj Shree

His Holiness is a direct descendent of Shrimad Vallabharcharyaji [Mahaprabhuji] the founder of the Pushti Marg faith and currently heads the sixth 'Gadi' [Chair] based at Shree Kalyanrayji Mandir in Vadodara, Gujarat, India. In spite of his various spiritual, religious and social activities in India, His Holiness commits time to visit the United States and the United Kingdom regularly to enlighten the Vaishnavs there on the rituals and practices of the Pushti Marg, focusing particularly on the youth. His Holiness is the initiator and Chief Executive of the renowned 'Vaishnav Yuva Sangathan' and founder of various charitable, educational and religious trusts. His Holiness is fluent in Sanskrit, Hindi, Gujarati, Vraj, Marvadi, Urdu and English languages and has published numerous articles, books and poetic compositions. His Holiness was the youngest to be installed to one of the seven 'Gadis' of the Pushti Sampraday. He was also the youngest of the 1200 religious leaders invited by the United Nations to attend 'The World Millennium Peace Summit of Spiritual & Religious Leaders' in 2000. His Holiness has attended many other international conferences and summits and has facilitated community projects in India and abroad including the reconstruction of the "Amarapur Village" [renamed 'Shree Vallabhacharyanagar'] destroyed by the 2001 earthquake ; the construction of  two new hospitals, the Shree Vallabhacharya Mahaprabhuji Hospital-1 at Bahadarpur, Sankheda and the Shree Vallabhacharya Mahaprabhuji Hospital - 2 at Kaladarshan Crossing, Waghodia Road, Vadodora (Baroda) and the establishment of International Youth Forum at various centres in the USA and England to encourage the young to be responsible members of society by undertaking cultural, religious and social activities.

Vaishnav Parivar [NZ] Inc is greatly honoured to have His Holiness as their spiritual leader [Guruji] to guide them in the years to come. This is in itself a milestone in the organization's short history because it was only incorporated on 21 May 2004. In this short period several significant religious events and festivals have been successfully celebrated annually, and their fortnightly satsang continues to attract growing participation of Vaishnavs.
