Bhakti Dham, the first ashram of Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat, commemorates the place of Shri Maharaj Ji’s birth. Many of our hearts have been captured by the time we have spent there in devotion. Below are some recent glimpses of Bhakti Dham taken during the Holi sadhana program, including some views of the construction progress of the new sadhana hall.

Main guidelines for devotion during the sadhana program
(1) Observe complete silence;
(2) Bring your kirtan books with you to the hall;
(3) Follow the periodic instructions that are given;
(4) While lovingly remembering God and Guru, shed selfless tears of love and sing the kirtan;
(5) When outside the sadhana hall, take Radhey name with your breath (as you inhale say Ra, as you exhale say dhey)
Always remember God and Guruwith selfless and single-minded devotion.
