Social Service
Moved
by the suffering of countless human beings who used to come to
Baba everyday, Baba established an organization to serve humanity,
by the name of Sri Sarveshwari Samooh. In the beginning there
was only the one Ashram in Banaras, with a free hospital
for leprosy patients and a school of little children. Over
the years many other Ashrams have been opened in various parts
of India, all with the same goal of serving self-lessly all those
who come to the ashram gates.
In
the ashrams which Baba established in India and abroad, his monks
carry on his way of living, dedicating themselves to his ideals
for becoming real human beings. These monks continue Baba's social
vision by their social services, and try to fulfill his hope for
becoming real human beings by joining spiritual ideals with social
ideals. Such an effort comes at a time when it is needed in both
east and west alike. That is why Baba is referred to as a modern
day saint.
During
one of his visits to the States, Aghoreshwar Bhagwan Ram gave
his blessing for one of his Ashrams
in Sonoma, California in 1990. Baba Harihar Ramji, one of his monks resides in the Ashram and continues
to share Baba's teachings through living example. Those students
who want to go deeper are given an practice and are guided accordingly.
The
Ashram also publishes a monthly newsletter, AGHOR TIMES, containing translation of Baba's talks
that were given in Hindi. Several books that were authored by
Baba in Hindi have been translated into English and are available
by contacting the Ashram.
