The Veda School established by Shri Datta Mandir is a highly important and sacred initiative for the community. The temple takes care of all expenses for 15 students, including: * Accommodation * Education * Food * Clothing * Academic materials * Teacher salaries
The monthly expenditure is approximately ₹1.25 lakh, and such work is impossible without the support and cooperation of devotees.
The temple’s trustee board, especially President Shrikant Shastri Gadadhar and Treasurer Santosh Joshi, are fully aware that: “It is only through devotees’ faith, service, and cooperation that this divine work can continue.”
Therefore, they lovingly appeal to all devotees: * 🙏 “Participate in this sacred initiative.” * 🙏 “Contribute to the Veda School and renovation expenses.” * 🙏 “Join wholeheartedly in Shri Datta Jayanti Festival 2025.” * 🙏 “Support the work of Dattaguru according to your capacity.”
Every contribution: * Shapes the future of a student * Keeps the Veda tradition alive * Enables temple restoration * And lights the lamp of culture for the next generation
The Shri Datta Jayanti Festival is not just a celebration—it is a sacred confluence of faith, social service, and culture.
Over the past 118 years, Shri Datta Mandir has kept the spiritual heartbeat of Akola alive. Today, the Veda School, renovations, and community initiatives give fresh energy to this rhythm. With the cooperation of devotees, the divine legacy of the temple will continue.
Shri Gurudev Datta!
