Altar hall

One of the significant projects of our community today is the construction of an altar hall on the territory of Shiva Prem Sagar Ashram. Currently, practices are held in a summer tent, and in the cold season, a small room is used, where there is not enough space to fit all residents and guests of the ashram. To conduct practices, ceremonies and festive events in dignified and comfortable conditions, we keep a sankalpa for the creation of an altar hall, which will become the spiritual heart of the ashram.

Your participation in this good deed is comparable to the merits of erecting temples, creating murtis or feeding sadhus. In this way, you join the unified field of blessings multiplied by every practice and event that will take place in this place.

«An ashram is a place where the altar is installed, the deities of the transmission line, its relics, where mysteries, divine theurgy, invoking the blessings of deities and saints are regularly held. In the ashrams, you will be offered prasad – a special food consecrated on the altar and offered to the deities, which cleansing your mind and spirit. The joyful and clear sound of the bell calling for morning deity worship (arati) or evening meditation is a constant sound that you can hear in the ashram».

One of the significant projects of the community today is the construction of an altar hall on the territory of the Shiva Prem Sagar Ashram – the central ashram of the community.

The foundation for the hall has already been installed, the planned size of the hall is 108 sq.m.

Today, in the ashram, in a temporary summer "altar"’" marquee, the following are already held:

• daily pujas (morning sutra and evening bhajan mandala);
• satsangs and lectures by Sri Guru Swami Vishnudevananda Giri;
• various great events are held: celebrations (jayanti, purnima, Shivaratri, etc.), seminars, dikshas and initiations with the participation of Gurudev.

In order for sadhana in the ashram to be conducted fully, all year round, and the ashram can receive a large number of guests, we need a spacious altar hall, in the construction of which we invite you to participate.
