| The 79th foundation day of Prabhu Prabhat was celebrated
on Tuesday, May 1, 2001, at Sahitya Sangha Mandir with the noted cinema &
stage artist Shri Sudhir Joshi as the Chief Guest. After introducing the chief
guest Hon. Shri Pramod S. Navalkar said that we have all heard about people
having ownership flats but this the only place (Sahitya Sangh Mandir) in the
world where people sit in the same seat year after year. In short they own their
seats. He further said that not only the old people but even the younger
generation of the Pathare Prabhu Community are interested in maintaining our
heritage. With that he announced the opening of the 1st website of
the Pathare Prabhu Community which has been developed by Tejas Pradeep Rane & Amit Pradyumna
Kothare . Mr. Sudhir Joshi then gave away the
Prabhat Pratishthan Awards. |

orchestra. The maestro began with the song ‘Omkar Swaroopa Sadguru Samartha’.
