Ashram History

This ashram, dedicated to Sri Neem Karoli Baba, is located in Southern Germany in Ulm - halfway between the cities of Munich and Stuttgart. It was founded by Sri Durgamayi Ma in 1998 and serves as refuge of spiritual practice for Maharajji’s Satsang in Germany, which has grown over the years.

In 1971 Durgamayi Ma saw a picture of Sri Neem Karoli Baba in the book ‘Be Here Now’ by Ram Dass. Feeling a very strong longing, she and her spiritual companion Vishnu Digambar travelled to India, were found by Maharajji and became His devotees. Meeting Baba changed the course of their lives.

Back in Germany, from 1985 on, they began to share their deep experiences with Maharajji and the love He gave. This way Baba's satsang in Germany started to grow. In 1998 the Satsang was able to buy a large house, which was inaugurated as ‘Ashram Brindavon’ on Nirvan Divas the following year - and became the center of spiritual practice for a small, but very committed satsang and home to 29 ashram-residents.

All temples are located on the ground-floor of 'Ashram Brindavon' - with a darshan hall and smaller temples dedicated to Lord Hanuman, Maa Devi Durga, Lord Shiva, Lord Krishna, Sri Ganesha, Lord Buddha and Jesus Christ.

Over the years more and more people visited the ashram and so the satsang – with Maharajji’s blessings – was able to buy a larger building not far away. Mataji named it Sri Neem Karoli Baba Mandir in ever loving remembrance of her Guru - our Satguru.

Anyone wishing to visit or to receive Mataji’s Darshan is most welcome. All current information can be found on ashram.de/en.


Unique Recordings

In gratitude we remember Vishnu Digambar, Mataji's spiritual companion, who left his body in January 2009. Just recently we ‘found’ super8 footage and audio recordings of Maharajji’s voice, which Vishnu Digambar recorded in 1973. We have published them here:

Waiting for Baba’s Darshan
Part1

Waiting for Baba’s Darshan Part2

More to come - still work in progress: recordings of Maharajji’s Voice (1973), historical recordings of devotees singing and kirtan wallah’s at Maharajji’s ashrams in Kainchi and Vrindavan, old versions of the Hanuman Chalisa.
