Construction of the Babaji's Kriya
Yoga Ashram in Badrinath, Himalayas began on May 15, 2008, with
the leveling of the plot of land. A formal ceremony and puja will
be conducted on the site on Sunday May 25, by a local pandit, followed
by a mantra yagna with 15 pilgrims from our Bangalore ashram, lead
by Vinod Kumar, its manager. The construction is being administered
by Rohit Naithani. As the weather permits construction only from
mid May to early July, and from early September to end of October,
the construction is expected to be completed only by the fall of
2009 or 2010. Volunteers who would like to assist in the constuction
during the above months, are invited to contact M. G. Satchidananda
for details. Over ninety percent of the expected budget has already
