With the ultimate goal to educate and uplift spiritual lives of people, Babaji decided to start with laying the foundations of Shree Kalyan Sewa Ashram in the year 1978 in Amarkantak, the birth place of the holy river Narmada and a home to many tribes.Our Ashrams are based on Kalyan Das Babaji's teachings of vedic mythology and the sanatana tradition, with the primary objective of restoring the balance of life and enabling all to make the most of this human form. Each one situated in an environment that triggers the potentialities of a human being. The Ashram in Almora that sits in the lap of the Himalayas, is focused on teaching the Vedic methodology that is critical and imperative for living a balanced and healthy life. The Ashram came into existence after pujya babaji had a vision of mother goddess Bhagvati during his second visit to the holy abode of Lord Shiva, Kailash Mansarovar. As per the Sanatana tradition, a human being is responsible for the circumstances he/she creates and thus by being aware about this truth he/she can create a life of fulfilment. The Ashram is situated in the heart of nature which in itself is a great teacher and a master of the art of balance.The Ashram welcomes every spiritual seeker with open arms.
