who we are

Shri Dwarkadhish Temple
The Auspicious Beginning

On a devotion-filled afternoon in June 1990, many Pushtimargiya Vaishnav gathered at the home of Pankaj Sheth in Brooklyn, NY, for a Satsang in the auspicious presence of TrutiyaPithadhish Pujya Goswami 108 Shri Vrajeshkumar MaharajShri. Moved by overflowing devotion, Indubhai Sheth, Govindbhai Parekh, Pankaj Sheth, and I.R. Shah humbly requested permission to build a Temple for Dwarkadhish Prabhu in New Jersey.

On November 12, 1994, thousands of Vaishnavs joined the religious procession from Brooklyn to Parlin, New Jersey, to accompany Shri Dwarkadhish Prabhu to His new abode in the western world — and a new chapter was written in the history of Pushti-Marg in North America.

Our children have grown up attending the summer camps and Satsangs here. The temple has instilled in them a love for Pushtimarg that we are deeply grateful for — a true blessing.
