But they were building a stone bund (It indicated the lack of funds on the part of the Ashram and the seva manobhav of the Ashram people). Before reaching the construction area I thought they must be constructing a building or something in those lines. I remembered “malladihalli swamiji” who used to work even when he was 100. At the construction place Baba ji was also working along with others. Then we started towards the construction area where Baba ji was present. Take a look at the photos that I have uploaded. The archaka performed the puja and gave prasadam to them as well.

Meanwhile few more people came for Lord’s darshan. The Place has kuteer, meditation centers, yoga centers etc.

The Ashram was started in 1970s by Baba Hari Dass, a Sawmiji from Northern part of India. He then described about the different places in that place, from which I came to know that the place is more like an Ashram. When my turn came to receive the prasadam eyes were full of tears with immense delight. He called each one of us to the shrine, chanted shloka, loudly said “Jai Shri Ram” and gave us prasadam. He was chanting shllokas in Sanskrit and offering puja to the GOD. The person who you can see in the photo was the archaka of the Sankat Vimochan Hanuman temple. At the shrine we had the most pleasant surprise. We started walking towards the shrine we could see the name of the LORD RAMA written in Hindi in several places. But when I saw a lady doing namaskar to us it was a little bit surprising. Initially, I thought they must be visiting the some place nearby, because the place is called Mount Madonna County. When we entered the area, the first thing we saw was the presence of lots of people who looked like from other faiths, mainly Christians, moving around in the area. I will try to verbalize my experience to the best possible level. Last Saturday when we started to the Gilroy Hanuman temple, I never thought it would be such an appealing place. My friends & I usually go to some temple every fortnight. But the place I visited last Saturday (4 th Nov) was so good that it really inspired me to do so.
