One of the oldest temple of Vaishanvas (a sect of Hindu) & charitable institute
With the blessings and the guidance from HDH Goswami 108 Shri Dhrumilkumarji Mahodayshri, (our Spiritual Benefactor – Ashraydata), Pushtimargiay Vaishanv Samaj of Canada (PMVSC) started the Haveli (Temple) on November 13th, 2005. Shrinathji’s (Lord Krishna) Anavaran Vidhi and tilak Vidhi (Inauguration) were conducted on this day amongst a huge crowd of Vaishnavs (one of the sect of Hindu). There were tears of joy in the eyes of the vaishnavs and for the committee members it was a dream come true after years of long wait. We received a great amount of help and co-operation from Vraj USA, a temple in Pennsylvania and this support received in the first year is greatly appreciated. Our Shrinathji Haveli is charitable not-for-profit organization located at 58, Clark Avenue, Thornhill, Ontaratio, L3T 1S5. To contact the Haveli, please call 905 771 3939 or visit www.shrinathjihaveli.org. Over 3000+ Pushtimargiya families residing in Toronto enjoy the Darshan of Shri Thakorji from time to time. During utsav, there are approximately 1200 – 1500 vaishnavs that come for Darshan (viewing) of Shri Thakorji. There are also visiting vaishnavs, friends and family of resident vaishnavs, from all over the world, who visit the Haveli for Darshan of Shri Thakorji and to admire this commitment towards preserving Pushtimarg and its principles. The vaishnavs of Canada listen to the Spiritual Discourses presented by visiting Pushti Acharya, other religious dignities and scholars. We celebrate Pushti Utsavs (Hindu festivals) like Vasant, Holi-khel, Dolotsav, Shriji Patotsav, Hindola, Janmashtami, Nand Mahotsav, Sharadotsav, Dlilwali, Annakut, Mahaprabhuji-Gusainji-gokulnathji Pragatyotsavs and Sanjhi. PMVS Cultural Centre works under the umbrella of PMVSC and involves in activities for all age groups of Vaishnav community of Canada. PMVS conduct a youth club, Vallabh Youth Organization, where younger children are taught the values and teaching Pushtimarg to foster and promote the Indian heritage in Canadian mainstream. Library of Pushtimargiya readings is providing books and literature on Pushtimarg. Seniors and youngsters take advantage of this service. The committee members of PMVSC dream of starting a Senior Ciltizen Club with activities for senior vaishnavs, engaging them in satsang and outdoor activities. For young generation, PMVSC plans to conduct classes to teach Shrinagar for various seasons, and on various occasions, kirtan classes, Phool Ghar Seva, Tokri Seva, Protocols of Pushtimarg, thus incorporating Pushti Seva Prakar in the new generation to spread the religion and preserve the values. Under the PMVSC there is a future plan of starting new immigrant settlement services to aid the new comers in their initial period of settlement in Canada. These services will help the new comers to integrate into the society and the labour market as well as socialize while getting the benefit of seva and Darshan of Shri Thakorji.
