In 1990 His Holiness Vishwaguru Paramhans Swami Maheshwarananda laid the foundation stone of a monumental project, called the Om Vishwa Deep Gurukul, Swami Maheshwarananda Education & Research Centre (commonly referred to as the “Om Ashram”). Situated on 250 acres in the Jadan district of Rajasthan, India, this centre is being constructed in the shape of the ancient symbol OM. On its completion, the monument will be the largest man-made symbol of OM in the world… 

This ecologically managed Ashram can accommodate up to 500 yoga students for education in Yoga, Sanskrit and Philosophy. The main purpose of this centre is to promote the ancient science of yoga and the invaluable spiritual treasures of Vedic Culture, including:

• Physical, mental, social and spiritual health
• Respect for life of all living beings
• Tolerance and understanding amongst religions, cultures and nations
• Protection of human and animal rights and the environment

Guided by H.H. Swamiji’s initiative, Yoga in Daily Life organisations from all over the word are actively engaged in supporting a number of the humanitarian projects within the research centre. These projects endorse the United Nations Millennium Declaration and Development Goals as fundamental and necessary on our path to a just, sustainable and peaceful global society.

As the international epicentre of the Yoga in Daily Life organisation, it is dedicated to the protection of all life, the environment and world peace.

For the millions of spiritual seekers who have taken shelter under the great lineage of Yoga in Daily Life the Om Ashram is also a place of pilgrimage, as the Mahasamadhi shrine of His Holiness Dharmsamrat Parmahans Swami Madhavananda Ji (Holy Guruji) is at the heart of the Om Ashram.
