Sri Ram Sharnam Ashram Gohana is a dream Ashram where the entire scenario is so surcharged with Ram-Naam that one feels the difference. And this feeling is believing. Here the whiffs of breeze filtered through its whole medley of trees, plants and flowers are a panacea for all worldly ills, ailments and afflictions. You will return home both with a healthy Mind and a healthy Body. Countless trees, numberless plants and multicolored flowers vie with one another to add to the beauty of the place. The lush lawns, the intertwined trees, clean pathways with flowers on all sides, speak volumes for the landscape.
Tapobhoomi (Land of Penances) :
Swamiji visited Gohana and held a Satsang in the makeshift thatched hall on November 11, 1959 i.e. a year before his Mahasamasdhi. Unwittingly, the hall turned out to be octagonal (eight-sided) and Swamiji highly praised Pujya Pitaji and his team. Maharajji was delighted and said, “ I have never seen such a beautiful Hall(It was temporary). Normally, a hall is four-sided, but it is eight-sided.” Today, the Jaap Room at Gohana is also octagonal.
The foundation stone for the Ashram was laid on Nov. 5,1987. Now this Ashram has become the marvel of architecture, design and landscape. This has become a place of pilgrimage for the devotees and others. Here Ram Jaap goes on throughout the year but 90-day Akhand Jaap (non-stop day-and-night Jaap) has become an annual feature. Multitrillion beads of rosaries year after year generate powerful spiritual energy. It is nothing short of a Tapobhoomi.
Satvik Jeevan (Holy Life) :
Life in the Ashram enjoins a strict discipline on the devotees. Devotees have to observe a strict time-table. No newspapers, no magazines, no T.V., no radio, no outside tours or picnics are allowed. Routine disciplined life, reading of scriptures, observance of silence, simple food, service to others, and spiritual practices are the main facets of the life in the Ashram. There is accommodation for about 700 people in the ashram. The Hut-shaped cottages give a feeling of a modern hermitage. Everybody keeps one’s room clean and tidy.The dining hall is kept clean and it serves simple, nutritious and Satvik food to the devotees. Cleanliness, orderliness and purity are the essence of the Ashram. After prior permission devotees can stay here for “Sadhna”
A Simple Pathway to God :
Sri Ram Sharnam, stands for the spiritual refuge, asylum or sanctuary of Sri Ram where turmoils, trials, tribulations, tensions and anxieties tend to disappear and you are in a spiritual habitat of peace, purity, serenity, selflessness and total dedication to Lord Ram. The present era is known as the Age of Anxiety, topsy-turvy values,Doubting Thomases, Sri Ram Sharnam is an answer as well as antidote for all these ills.
Sri Ram Sharnam is a hassle-free pathway to God and it gives equal respect to all religions, sects, creeds & folds. It does not propound any rites or rituals. It is the path of Love & Devotion which helps oneself to improve one's worldly and spiritual life by achieving oneness with GOD. It is based on the Sanatan belief of times immemorial.
The Origin :
Sri Ram Sharnam is a forum for the genuine devotees. It was evolved by Swami Satyanandji Maharaj, our Mentor & Spiritual Master, who like all true Masters, was a self-effacing, self-abnegating and God-realized Saint of the 19th and 20th centuries.
In 1925, after long and arduous prayers, Swami Satyanand Ji Maharaj was blessed with the Realization of God, revealed to him in the Holy Name, "RAM" in the most radiant and resonant form at Param Dham, Dalhousie(Himachal Pradesh, India). In 1928, Swamiji, with Divine Blessings started giving Deeksha(Initiation). He used to traverse long distances and doled out Deeksha to the genuine seekers.
Sri Ram Sewak Sangh :
To spread Ram Naam far and wide, Swamiji, in December 1936, handpicked five from his painstaking disciples to form Shree Ram Sewak Sangh . On the banks of the Holy Ganga, Swamiji and his five disciples took a vow to dedicate their lives to spread the Holy Name "RAM" and thus, promote theism.
These five disciples were: Bhagat Hansraj ( Pitaji), Sh.Vaishnav Das, Sh.Ram Krishan, Swami Ramanand and Swami Raja Ram .Since then Bhagat Hansraj (Pitaji),the only survivor of the Shree Ram Sewak Sangh, had been untiringly engaged in the spread of Ram-Naam as ordained by Swamiji, by holding Satsangs far and near. Under his guidance and blessings, many umanitarian activities are being carried out and charitable institutions have been set up.
On the auspicious occasion of Vyas Purnima, in the year 2000, Pujya Pitaji passed on the responsibility and duty of the spread of Ram-Naam to Pujya Smt. Rekha Ji and Pujya Sh. Krishan Ji, the disciple of Swami Satyanandji Maharaj.
The Mooldhara (Pristine Philosophy) :
Today, though the following of Swamiji Maharaj has increased manifold, yet the basic emphasis is to preserve the original & pristine philosophy of Swamiji Maharaj. The Organization believes in the self-imposed discipline to hold on fast the principles of Swamiji and not to deviate from the Mooldhara or the Gangotri.
