A message to the community

Dear Bandhavas,


About Walkeshwar Kashi Math, Mumbai:

Situated on the banks of the holy Banaganga Tank, the Kashi Math branch, Mumbai premises at Walkeshwar is a very holy site for all GSBs. The Math was founded by H. H. Srimad Madhavendra Teertha Swamiji, the 7th Pontiff of Sri Kashi Math Samsthaan in the 18th Century.

The place is also known to be one of its three kinds - A jeevantha samaadhi of a Saint, since Srimad Madhavendra Teertha Swamiji Attained Jeevanth Samaadhi at this very place which is now adorned by a beautiful Vrindavan with Lord Hanuman Gracing it. ( the other two are of Saint Dnyaneshwar at Alandi, Maharashtra, and of Raghavendra Swamiji at Mantralayam, karnataka) The site is hence extremely holy and is one of the pillars of our strong culture


The Project:
Due to its proximity to the Sea shore and exposure to the saline breeze, the repair work of the building is long due for which the estimated project cost is about Rs. 18 to 20 Lacs.

Donations towards the same are solicited from Samaj Bandhavas as well as wellwishers of the Samaj from not just Mumbai or India, but all over the Globe.

Donation cheques may be drawn in favour of "WALKESHWAR SRI KASHI MATH" and may be mailed to the following address.
