Twenty-five years of caring community!

We invite you to join us in celebrating the Silver Jubilee of Alandi Ashram.

For 25 years now, Alandi Ashram has been touching the lives of hundreds of people around the world. Founded by Alakananda Ma and Sadanandaji at the behest of their teachers, Alandi Ashram is an independent, grassroots, contemplative center.

Deeply rooted in the bhakti tradition of the Poet-Saints of Maharashtra, Alandi is a sheltering tree whose branches extend to diverse traditions and lineages, embracing Sufi, Jewish, Christian and Buddhist practices, as well as those of other Indian lineages.

Among its offerings, Alandi provides:

·      Top quality Ayurvedic clinic with sliding scale options,

·      Unique Ayurvedic gurukula school offering the only four year program in America

·       Weekly spiritual events for world peace and healing

·      Authentic practices of diverse traditions

·      Support for homeless, troubled or searching young adults

·      Mentoring, meditation instruction and spiritual guidance

·      Life cycle celebrations such as weddings and baby naming

·      End of life support including nursing home, hospice and home visits

·      Memorial services, ash scattering and bereavement support

·      Humanitarian activities such as Peace PUSH to raise funds for Pakistan, stricken by severe floods in 2010

·      Spiritual activism for justice, peace and the environment

In this coming year of our Silver Jubilee, we will share stories each month highlighting various aspects of Alandi.  We will culminate with a Vedic fire ceremony and silent auction on September 18, 2015--the mahasamahdi of Raghudas, Alandi's original guru.

It's a year to celebrate, but we're not resting on our laurels. Alandi's teachings of community, caring and sharing are needed now more than ever. Help us continue and expand our offerings as we raise $25,000--just one thousand for each year that we have been serving the community.  Our board has already contributed 10% of our goal, so we're on our way and moving forward.
