The Location: Grand Himalayas Region
The Grand Himalayas in India are a breathtaking realm of towering snow-capped peaks, serene valleys, and crystal-clear rivers. Majestic pine forests and alpine meadows offer an untouched paradise, perfect for explorers and seekers of peace. The region is home to ancient temples and monasteries, imbued with spiritual energy. It’s a place where nature’s grandeur and the profound stillness of the mountains invite deep reflection and awe.
The Ashram: Shri Kalyanika Himalaya Devasthanam (Dol Ashram)
Shri Kalyanika Himalaya Devasthanam is situated in a stunning, pristine area of the Himalayas region in the Uttarakhand State of Northern India. Surrounded by untouched forests of unparalleled beauty, Dol Ashram enjoys the blessings of Mother Nature at its best and offers a gorgeous canvas for spiritual immersion, self-exploration and body-mind-soul alignment.
The Ashram, a beacon of the Sanatana Tradition and Vedic lifestyle, beckons the spiritual seeker with its cluster of twenty-one in-built temples with shrines dedicated to Lord Ganpati, Shiva, Vishnu, Hanuman and Mother Goddess Bhagvati, that reverberate its magical aura. Apart from their captivating beauty, the temples are a central feature in creating a divine ambience with their daily chants, incenses and rituals amplifying the energies for yogic, meditative, and overall spiritual practices.
The heart and soul of the Ashram beats with its in-house Gurukulam (school). The Shri Kalyanika Veda Vedanga Sanskrit Vidya Peetham imparts Vedic and Yogic vocation along with modern education to underprivileged students. The daily routine of the students, the echo of their chants early morning from the Aarti (ritual) and the sound of the temple bells is nourishing and mesmerizing to the senses.
