Today, I visited Vishwa Shanti Ashram. This ashram is located in the outskirts of Bangalore, 17 kms, Tumkur highway (NH 4) near Nelamangala town. The main landmark is it is just opposite to the Tumkur Check post and just after Holiday Palm hotel. It is working from 8 am to 12.30 pm in the morning and 4 pm to 7.30 pm in the evening. The place has a steady flow of visitors. The place is very serene and beautiful. The atmosphere is very quite and calm.
Vishwa Shanti Ashram is run by a Trust. The founder of this ashram is Sadguru Sant Kesavadas and Co-founder is Guru Mataji, successor to the Sadguru Sant Kesavadas.
The Ashram is placed in 15 acres of land which houses many temples inside. Important ones are
A huge statue of Vijaya Vittala
on the foot of the statue, Lakshmi-Narayana Temple is placed
and on both sides of Lakshmi-Narayana Temple, Ashalakshmi temple, is located.
Then comes the Seven sisters
it represents the joining of seven rivers – Ganga, Yamuna, Godavari, Saraswathy, Narmada, Sindhu and Cauvery
Then comes the Bhagawath Gita Bodhane, whole Bhagawadh Gita verses are written in 800 granite slabs and fixed on the inside and outside walls of the Viswaroopee Darshan Mandir
Gitopadesha Chariot is designed by the Shilpi(sculptor) Kasinath from Shimoga district in Karnataka.

To entertain the kids there is a children’s park coming up and the best part is all the equipments for entertainment is operated manually for the benefit of the kids.

Ashram provides enough space for the family to spend their weekends without much trouble. It accommodates rabbits, turkey, pigeon, rabbits and some other birds which i don’t know the names and more over it provides ample space for the lovebirds to pass their time also. It is a must visit place if you are coming to Bangalore.
