Ashram in Ulm & Neu-Ulm

Sri Neem Karoli Baba

Neem Karoli Baba is one of the great saints of India. He lived and served humanity in the last century. For many, Baba is an embodiment of Lord Hanuman, the selfless servant of God – Sri Ram. Ma met Baba in India in 1973.

Durgamayi Ma

teaches Bhakti Yoga - the path of loving devotion, which she herself was granted to follow after meeting Sri Neem Karoli Baba in 1973. In gratitude for Baba’s love, Ma shares the experiences with Him and the realizations of her own path with all those who wish to learn from her.

Namaste

Dear visitors to the Ashram,

in honor of her master, the great Indian saint Sri Neem Karoli Baba, Durgamayi Ma established these two ashram:

They are places of encounter and spiritual practice, as well as places of devotion and worship of the Divine.

Ma teaches the path of Bhakti Yoga, the path of loving devotion, which she herself walked all the way to her own liberation.

There are temples in both ashram that are regularly open for Aarti, Kirtan, Hanuman Chalisa, and Darshan with Ma.
