Kaliyar Sharif Anandamayi Ma AshramThe ashram is dedicated to Ma
Anandamayi, meaning the blissful mother. The ashram also bears the
immortal remains of Anandamayi Maa buried in a samadhi.
The ashram complex is located in the mythological town of Kankhal,
at a distance of 6 km from Haridwar. The mother was a Bengali
Mystic. Visitors from all around the world come here to pay
their tribute to the blissful mother, known for her yogic powers. Anandamayi Maa sometimes
attributed her actions to an unnamed god : I have no sense of pleasure or pain, and I stay as I have always been. Sometimes He draws me outside, and sometimes He takes me inside and I am completely withdrawn. I am nobody, all of my actions are done by him and not by me. Gopinath Kaviraj, Sri Sri Ma Anandamayi: Upadesa O Prasnottara (Calcutta: Pasyant Prakasani, 1382 B.S.), p. 1 The ashram complex of Maa Anandamayi
has a number of other buildings for you to visit. These include
Gayatri Yagnashala, Ati Rudra Yagnashala,
Rudraksha Tree, Shankaracharya Hall,
Annapurnasthal, Ma Anandamayee Museum
and Ma Anandamayee Vidyapeeth. Regular buses and taxi
cabs are available to take visitors to the ashram.    |
