site also contains the works of Swami Ramdas for whom we feel such great reverence. Swami
Ramdas helped Mother gain her complete Realization of God after Master's (Paramhansa
Yogananda's) Mahasamadhi. Mother wrote an account of her first meeting with Swami Ramdas in Seattle in 1954,
entitled "God Comes to Visit". This account was first published
in the Vision Magazine in 1968 in three parts. The complete
account of this extraordinary meeting is available for download from this page in pdf
format. Please click here to download the

About
Anandashram:
Anandashram was founded in 1931 by Swami Ramdas, (1884-1963) and Mother Krishnabai
(1903-1989) endearingly called by devotees as Papa and Mataji respectively.
Anandashram is located in Kanhangad, a town
located in the Kasaragod district of Kerala State in South India.
The ideal, which the Ashram holds before it,
is Universal Love and Service based upon a vision of divinity in all beings and creatures
of the world. Here every man, woman or child, to whatever denomination, creed or caste the
person may belong, shall have free access.
This is a place where every effort will be
made to cultivate the spirit of mutual love and service, so that what is realised within
its walls may prove as an example for the right conduct of human life in outside world.
True to this dictum, Ashram has been rendering
assistance to the poor and needy section of the society for food, clothing, medical
treatment, education, marriage, self-employment, house construction and to philanthropic
institutions such as old age homes, Leprosy welfare centres, orphanages, Animal welfare
centres, School for Mentally handicapped children, etc.
