The Sanstha was established in 1908 in the presence and with the blessing of Shri Gajanan Maharaj himself.

He had himself told the place of his Samadhi and exact date 1 day of Samadhi.

Under his own guidance some rules and regulations were formed and the Trust was registered on 12-9-1908.

The Darshan of Shri Swami should be taken from distance, should not touch the feet of Shri Swami, the money or any other thing given by Bhaktas should not be touched by anybody, it should be straightway pat in the safe. Etc. was the regulations made in his presence.

That tiny plant has grown into a huge tree, the branches of which are spreading from Pandharpur in South to Omkareshwar in North.

Service to the poor, helpless and such who have nobody to look after, is the goal chosen as per the wishes of Shri Swami.

Sanstha has rightly chosen Adhyatmic field, Medical services and Educational services for its work to serve and train the mind, body and brain.
