About the ashram
An ashram family that walks in Gurudev Maharaj's way
The Akhil Bharatiya Gurudas Seva Ashram is one family: the elders who live at the ashram, the students in its hostel and its sevaks. Shri Sant Gurudev Maharaj founded it in 1984 on his own 14 acres, on the thought of Rashtrasant Tukdoji Maharaj's Gramgeeta.
His ideal was a simple life ‘until everyone has food, clothing and shelter’. Every seva of the ashram still follows the way he laid down, and your help reaches this same ashram family.
