AROHAN
Brahmavidya Sadhak Sangh has embarked upon an ambitious project to build its own Ashram. In July 2010, during the Guru Purnima programme, all teachers had shown keen interest in building the Ashram. It was decided to search for a large plot between Mumbai and Pune, keeping in mind future expansion. Accordingly, in March 2011 an appeal was made to every Advance Course student to donate Rs 10,000 or more and every Basic Course student to donate Rs 1000 or more as gratitude for this project.
So far, we have received an overwhelming response to this appeal. A plot of land near Kamshet has been purchased and a stone masonry compound wall and stairway to the hillock is constructed.
The said plot admeasuring about 18 acres (14 kms from Kamshet) is endowed with natural scenic beauty and is located between Uksan and Shiravata Dam. The plot is well connected by a motorable road and regular ST buses are available from Kamshet. It takes about two hours and thirty minutes from Thane and one hour and thirty minutes from Pune to reach the plot by car.
Our construction plans have received the approval and construction of 2 Halls was started in started in December 2019. These halls would be ultimately used as Dining Hall and Kitchen
It was decided to increase the number of 5 Days ‘Basic course Residential Camps’ before the starting the construction of residential building. Accordingly, we had started conducting at least 2 Residential camps every month from September 2019 in 4 languages i.e., Marathi, English, Hindi and Gujrati. We hoped that once these camps are conducted regularly, we can commence the Ashram building work somewhere around October 2020.
However, the pandemic of Corona and the Lock Down upset all our plans. Practically no work was done for 2.5 years. We are pleased to inform that for last few months there is satisfactory progress of the construction work. The Dining hall and Kitchen buildings would be ready for our use by January end 2023.
We have also started the construction of first residential building which can accommodate around 70 participants on twin sharing basis. We expect the residential building to be ready for use by October 2023. After that we would be able to conduct all our residential programmes in our own Ashram.
We, the trustees and teachers, express our heartfelt gratitude towards all donors. It is solely due to their generous support that we are able to fulfil this dream – Arohan Ashram. However, this is just the beginning. We approved plans to build 3 residential buildings and a meditation centre on the proposed plot.
We hope that the teachings of Brahmavidya spread far and wide. We humbly request you to avail of this opportunity and offer as much gratitude as possible to Brahmavidya. Above all, give your donations with Joy so that what we create out of it will be symbol of Joy.
