*** Facilities for sadhana ... satsang, meditation, yoga … and "spiritual lodging"
for visitors and friends who wish to visit Ellora and its famous caves ***
  *** An Indian home-base for Ananda, who now prefers to live in India, more-so than in USA ***
*** A place for Ananda to host his friends .. Sadhus and those who are not .. who wish to visit him at Ellora; and ***
*** A future place for our four adopted kids in India, for their own social work, in whatever ways they choose to develop theirselves in. ***
  
Local volcanic stone
was used
for internal walls, the Meditation Cave, and certain garden stone walls,
giving an ancient temple/cave-like atmosphere.
Quite a variety of local-area crystals are embedded in the walls through-out, and thus …
the name
"Samadhi Hermitage Crystal Cave".


An on-and-off 6-year construction project, t
he final stage being a small gym-room,
to replace construction work, as the 50 years of exercise & yoga which kept Ananda's body
fit and strong!
His stone hammer hangs
on the gym wall, with ribbon, as a memorial to such!
Your visit is most welcome.

    View of Entry Way, Garden, main ashram building, and our wonderful "Samadhi Hermitage Crystal Cave". Behind the cave (to the right) is the ashram entry gate.
Behind the windows is the Satsang Hall; that's the front half of the building (kitchen, sleeping, computer, etc., are backside).
The Heart Mandir (photo, below center) is in the middle of that wall, facing the windows.
A guest room, a small outdoor kitchen-deck, and the gym room are on the lower level, overlooking Ellora's mostly dry creek bed.
