From Friday, August 28, Sri Neem Karoli Baba Mandir will be closed for two weeks. Hanuman Chalisa and Kirtan will not take place during this time — but Brindavon Ashram in Ulm opens daily for aarti at 6 pm. On Friday, September 11, Baba Mandir will open again with Nirvan Divas celebrations.

Nirvan Divas 2019

With lots of lively kirtan, a great aarti and festive bhandara prasad, many chela and visitors celebrated Nirvan Divas at Brindavon Ashram this weekend in commemoration of Sri Neem Karoli Baba’s Mahasamadhi 46 years ago.

The highlight of this festival weekend was Ma’s darshan over the telephone, which was broadcast in the temple for all to hear!

I am always with you, I am always amongst you, even when you may not be able to feel or experience it yourselves.
