Brief Introduction
Located in a quiet locality, the ashram has a beautiful dhuni mandir on the first floor and rooms for devotees who wish to stay overnight for sadhana. A strict daily routine is followed, and devotees regularly join the prayer, meditation, naamgaan, brata-palan, japa-yajna, dibyasanga and atmacharcha. His Holiness also gives darshan to the devotees here from time to time.
Major Annual Festivals / Celebrations
The annual festival is held on Shivratri. It runs for three days, beginning with the hoisting of the flag of renunciation and ending with dhulot, and hundreds of devotees gather to receive the blessings of Gurudev. Saraswati Puja, Janmastami, and Jagaddhatri Puja are also celebrated here.
