What were the defining characteristics and values of the Dhurandhar family from Santa Cruz?

The Dhurandhar family, who lived in Santa Cruz, a town north of Bandra, were known as devout Hari-bhaktas. As detailed in Chapter 51, they were lovers of saints and possessed a firm, unwavering faith in both Shri Rama and the Name of Rama. They consciously avoided useless activities, preferring a simple way of life that extended to their children. The women of the family were noted for their faultless conduct. Balaram Dhurandhar was one of these brothers, and the text notes that the entire family's devotion was such that the Lord (Chakrapani) was indebted to them.
