ADVAITA ASHRAMA

MAYAVATI

Swami Vivekananda (Swamiji) had always been attracted by the Himalayas, the land of tyaga (renunciation) and yoga, the domain of Lord Shiva. In Almora, he inspired Captain Sevier and Mrs. Sevier along with Swami Swarupananda, his disciple, to commence looking for a place to house an Ashrama ‘dedicated to Advaita’. They found it in Mayavati, 6,400 ft. above sea level, surrounded by mountains on three sides, one side opening to a breathtaking view of the snow-capped Himalayan range.

KOLKATA

To keep Advaita Ashrama, Mayavati, in its pristine and quiet condition, and yet meet the growing worldwide demand for its publications and journal Prabuddha Bharata, it was decided to shift the printing and despatch work to Kolkata. This would also ensure better quality of the books published and a much wider reach. Providentially Sri U. N. Deb, a former classmate of Swamiji, donated land to Belur Math and Advaita Ashrama erected a building at 5, Dehi Entally Road. This was in 1960 and it continues to be the present domicile of Advaita Ashrama, Kolkata.
