Welcome to Bhagwan Gopinath Ji Trust
Bhagwan Gopinath Ji was born in a Kashmiri pandit family of Bhans, in a locality called Bhan Mohalla, in the city of Srinagar in Kashmir, on Friday 3 July 1898, which corresponds to Ashad, Shuklapaksh, Dvadashi (Ashada 19th, Vikrami 1955) per Hindu lunar calendar. His grandfather, Pandit Lachhman Joo Bhan was a wazir wazarat (deputy commissioner) of revenue department in the Dogra regime of the then-princely state of Kashmir. His father, Pandit Narayan Joo Bhan dealt in the business of cashmere wool and devoted much of his time to spiritual pursuits. He is known to have donated all his ancestral inheritance to his step-mother. Bhagwan Gopinath’s mother, Haar Maal, was the daughter of Pandit Prasad Joo Parimoo who was an initiated disciple of a local saint. His brother disciples used to call him Jada Bharata. Hindu scriptures like Yoga Vasistha were regularly taught and discussed in religious gatherings at their house. Prasad Joo had initiated his younger daughter, Zapaer Ded, into Japa Yoga and eventually in her fifties, she was recognized as a saint. On one occasion, while Pandit Prasad Joo Parimoo was meditating at the shrine of the deity of Mata Kheer Bhawani in Kashmir, he is said to have had a vision of the deity who expressed her desire to be born in his family as his daughter. Soon thereafter, Haar Maal was born who eventually got married and gave birth to Bhagwan Gopinath.
About Bhagwan Gopinath Ji Trust, Bangalore
Due to turmoil in Kashmir Valley, mass exodus took place. Our whole baradhari got scattered all over the country and abroad. Nearly 150 families initially migrated to Karnataka who were working in HMT watches, Srinagar. 110 families were placed in Bangalore and 490 families at Tumkur. Initially Smt. Sunaina Raina & Ch. Ramesh Raina took initiative for activites of Ashram at par with Bhagwan Gopinath ji’s ashram of Kharyar Srinagar. In Bangalore Sunaina Raina converted her HMT quater into Ashram. The moment she left from Bangalore, she handed over the ashram responsibilities to Smt. Usha Bradoo, who have been running successfully the ashram for the past 18 years as on date in her quater A/175, HMT Township, Jalahalli.
