Neem Karoli Baba · Nashik

Love everyone,
serve everyone,
remember God.

सबसे प्रेम करो · सबकी सेवा करो

A circle of devotees keeping a Tuesday open in Nashik — a lamp lit, the Hanuman Chalisa sung. You are welcome here.

Everything here rests on four things Maharaj-ji asked of everyone who came:

“Don’t you know — it is all Ram?”
The saint of the Kumaon hills

A guru known by his love.

Neem Karoli Baba — Maharaj-ji to those who loved him — was a great devotee of Hanuman who lived wrapped in a plaid blanket, feeding everyone who came and asking for nothing.

Though he left his body in 1973, his presence reached the West through devotees like Ram Dass and Krishna Das, and his dham at Kainchi draws seekers from across the world.

To simply gaze upon him

In bhakti, even to look upon the beloved is a blessing. A few moments with Maharaj-ji — tap any to enlarge.

The Tuesday aarti & satsang

An informal, heartfelt aarti & satsang. All are welcome — simply ask to join. We light the diya, sing the Hanuman Chalisa and the divine names, and sit together a while. There is nothing to prepare and nothing to bring but yourself.

Toward a dham in Nashik.

Kainchi, Taos, Thane — every one of Maharaj-ji’s dhams began as a few hearts gathering. There is quiet talk now of one day creating such a place here. This site is its first stone — a way to find one another, before there are walls and a roof.

If you feel moved to help carry this forward, say hello. सबकी सेवा.
