We are frequently asked why and how we started the ashrams. It’s hard to say just how it all began. It’s not quite clear whether we started the ashram or it started us. One by one we were presented with opportunities to deepen our spiritual practice and we did not turn away. We started many years ago, like so many others, with a book and a teacher.

We were blessed to meet with mahatmas and receive their blessings. We lived near them in the spirit of sadhu sangati and one by one we worshipped at holy places throughout India and other parts of the world. We studied, chanted, served devotees, fed everyone and every living thing that came to the door and beyond…then one day Sri Bhujageshwara linga came to us. I do mean to say He came to us as in right to the door with the help of three strong men who carried him in their arms. Once He came He brought all the help needed to install Himself. Then he alerted His devotees and they showed up. The rest is history. His story….Om Namah Shivaya
