Raju Maharaj

Shri Rajendra Joshi or popularly known as 'Raju Maharaj' was born on 6th Nov in a middle class family in a small town Dhar situated about 60 kms from Indore in Madhya Pradesh. He was born as the youngest child among the three elder sisters and as the only son to the famous astrologer Late. Pt. Balkrishna Joshi and the home maker late Mrs. Kalavati Joshi. He did his higher secondary after which he pursued his career in ITI and excelled in it with flying colors. But since he was born and brought up amidst the mathematics of stars and planets, he had a keen interest and curiosity for astrology which grew more and more as he grew older. His father Late Pt. Balkrishna Joshi was a very renouned astrologer of repute. The family has been worshipping their deity lord laxminarayana since generations and their temple is almost 250 years old. After passing the ITI he started his career with a radio shop and in this business also he was the best in the town. He was also involved in contractorship for quite some time but as they say god has predecided everyone's future and has sent each one of us with a definite objective which is why inspite of excelling in every sphere he entered, Raju Maharaj finally found his main objective of life for which he was born. He discovered that he inherits the same qualities as his father and he is born to serve people and help them get rid of their problems through astrological guidance. Neither his father nor he charged any fee for this service. They keep a small box called 'Narayan Peti' in front of lord Laxminarayan and whatever amount is collected in that box is used for the day to day household expenses. The family firmly believes that lord Laxminarayan will take care of everything in their lives and consider whatever they get as 'Narayan Kripa' Raju Maharaj has neither undergone any kind of professional training nor has he learnt astrology from someone. It is purely god gift which he is pursuing till date with complete devotion and diligence. He had a great passion for reading books and to everyone's surprise he is gifted with an extra ordinary memory as a result of which he discovered an entirely new way of predicting a person's future and to explain his point of view he uses various examples of the real world and several short stories from innumerable books he has read. He developed his own style of prediction which he gives in writing without asking any thing about anyone. After the sad demise of his father, he decided to take over the legacy and by god's grace and his parents blessings he has surpassed almost everyone. Initially he started reading and analyzing the horoscopes of his friends, family and relatives and gave them suggestions regarding their problems and ways to overcome them. As the time went by, people realized that his predictions were turning to be true. Soon he started becoming popular. He never used any means to advertise his talent. All things were falling in place when there came a blind turn in his life, which later turned out to be the turning point of his life. In the year 1999, he fell severly ill and was bedridden for almost 7 months in a reputed hospital of Indore. He was not very sound financially and was unable to afford the heavy hospital expenses since he was the only earning member of the family. But he had also become quite popular by that time and his well wishers and followers jointly beared all the expenses. Raju Maharaj always believes that odd times give birth to revolutions. Therefore during his 7 months of severe illness, he got the opportunity to read and ponder upon the 'Shrimad Bhagvat - Gita' and various other holy books of other religions. After thinking about each one of them he came to the conculsion that humans are amongst the greatest and the most beautiful creations of god, and therefore serving the mankind is the only way to worship god and create a path to wards heaven. He then decided to build a charitable hospital for the poor who are incapable of affording heavy hospital expenses. As soon as he recovered, he started with the hospital in the temple premises where homeopathic treatment was provided to the patients for free. Slowly slowly the number of patients started increasing and then the municipal corporation gave him a bigger premises where he started the 'Shri Laxminarayan Ni Shulk hospital where he provided both homeopathic and allopathic treatment to the patients for a mere fee of 9/-.The hospital is run by 'Narayan Sewa Samiti' of which Raju Maharaj is the chairman. The new premises was not enought for the kind of hospital he had dreamt of so he bought land for this purpose in an area where there was not even a primary health centre available to around 100 villages near by; hence he started with the hospital where they organise free health camps and provide free medication to the patients. Each member of the "Samiti" is dedicated towards this mission whole heartedly. Raju Maharaj wants to become immortal through this endeavour and wishes that this hospital grows and runs like this for generations to come and continues serving the people unconditionally.
