Distribution of Bhajani Sahitya (Musical instruments and other things for Bhajan)
Shri Gajanan Maharaj Sansthan's Warkari Shikshan Santha was established in 1967 by the honable and noted personality in this field- Hari Bhakta Parayan Shri. Mamasaheb Dandekar.
Shri Gajanan Maharaj Sansthan established 'Warkari Shiksha Santha' to preserve and promate 'Warkari Sampradaya' which was insisted and reiterated with great pride by saints. Sansthan has great offection and concern for Warkari Sumpradaya and so it distributs Bhajani Sahitya at free of cost ( 10 pairs of cymbals- Tal jod, 1 Mrudung, 1 Venna) to the eligible Bhajani dindis coming from defferent (as per need) Shri Dnyaneshwari, Shri Ekanathi Bhagawat and Shri Tukaram Gatha at free of cost. The aim is to provide access to millions of people to the great thoughts of Saints. As a result of this great interest is seen in rural areas where people happily involve in spiritual activities such as Bhajans, haripath, Kakada, Kirtan Pravachan etc. and Warkari Sampradya is gradually becoming part and parcal of the society. This Sansthan contributes in this spiritual field to protect, preserve and promote our great culture, relition and spirituality. So for 13,380 dindies have been distributed Bhajani Sahitya.
