Governess

The Temple Shri Govind Devji Maharaj, situated at Jai Niwas Garden Campus, Jaipur 302 002, is a Registered Public Trust with the Devasthan Vibhag, Govt. of Rajasthan, Jaipur vide Regn. No. 346 dated 20-9-1972.  This is a self sustained, independent Thikana (ENTITY).  Thakur Govind Devji Maharaj HIMSELF being a Perpetual Minor, the sole sewadhikari (lsokf/kdkjh – , the sole trustee) is the permanent guardian. 

From the Emperor of India to the lay man in the street, everybody without any sectarian bias, has paid his homage by virtue of grants & gifts.  Rulers of different states & people from abroad have all contributed to the cause of  Thakur Shri Govind Devji Maharaj !  In Vrindavan itself,  Seventy Five percent of  Vrindavan was the property of  Thikana Mandir Shri Govind Devji Maharaj only.   Token Annuities to this Thikana  from Bankura (West Bengal) & from Govt. of Rajasthan still continue.  The Rulers of erstwhile Jaipur State regarded Govind Devji Maharaj as their King (Raja – jktk ).

The Trust is Governed and managed by its Sole Trustee.  The Glorious Heritage finds its Origin from 1008 SHRI SHRI  CHAITANYA MAHAPRABHU, the founder of the MADHVIYA GOURIA SAMPRADAYA.  Right Since the Times of Akbar the Great, the Heritage in its chain, descends now to the present Sole Trustee, SHRI ANJAN KUMAR GOSWAMI, Tikai (Eldest Son) of Late Shri Pradhyumna Kumarji Goswami.

The present Grandeur  of The Temple  was attained during the period of Revered His Holiness Late Shri Pradhyumna Kumarji Goswami, the just preceding Sole Sebait (lsck;r ).  Exemplary was his life.  He devoted himself to the cause of the Temple and to the service of the Devotees.  The poet has rightly said for such Great Lives: “Lives Of All Great Men Remind Us To Make Our Lives Sublime; And Following Them Leave Behind Us Footprints on the Sands of Time”.
