Home for the Holidays

The residents of the Elmira Ashram invite you to come "home" for the holidays. It is a beautiful time for us to gather together to pray, celebrate, hang out, share stories, and enjoy each other's company.

We have some great events coming up and we'd really like to spend them with you, our Bhakti Marga family.

Come for a day, or plan to spend some extended time with us.
