Sri Guru Paduka (Sandals) installed in Jhambhivili,Karjath,Raighad Dist.

On 15thFeb 2010, Sri Brahmachaithanya Maharaj's devotee Shri Arun Gangal and his family got Shri Guru Paduka, made in granite in the same style and design of the one in Gondavale, installed in the precincts of their ancestral home, at Jhambhivili, 7 kms from Karjath, Raighad District, about 60 kms from Mumbai. Many devotees including all the trustees of Gondavale, were present at the time of installation. A week long celebration was held including Naama jap, Bhajans, Pravachans, Annadaan and other devotional activities. A group of Chinthamani Mandir devotees also attended the function on the last two days.

A special mention has to be made here, that the Holy Padukas are installed in the same place where Poojya Tatya Saheb Ketkar Maharaj sat to give the Pravachan on the Pethi (the planchette  on which Shri Bhrama Chaithanya Maharaj spoke in the voice of Shri Ketkar Maharaj).when he visited Jhambhivili.

And another important information is that Shri Ketkar Maharaj's Asthis (remains) are laid down and a Brindavan is built and maintained on the other side of the house. Some pictures are included here.
