The ashram in Benares (Varanasi) pre-dates the 'Brahmanivas' ashram in Alopi Bag, Allahabad, by about fifteen years. Guru Dev was not offered the property in Allahabad until about 1950. 'At sunrise on the first of April 1941, a small delegation of selected people headed by Swami Gyanandji Maharaj arrived at his Ashram. This Ashram, known as Brahmnivas at Sidhigiribagh, Maharaj Shri had constructed five years earlier in memory of his Guru in whose name he had also formed the Shri 1008 Swami Krishnanand Saraswati Trust.' - 'The Whole Thing The Real Thing' - Prem Pasricha's transcreation of Rameshwar Tiwari's Hindi biography of Guru Dev. 'In Varanasi, Maharaj Shri got an Ashram built in Siddhagiri Bagh, Chhotigaivi. Moreover, a Sanskrit College was established in the memory of his Sad Guru Dev where students receive free education upto Acharya. The Ashram is a three storeyed building, where fifty families can be accomodated. These two buildings are under the management of Shri Krishnanand Saraswati Trust.' - p72 'Strange Facts about a Great Saint' - Raj Varma --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, t3rinity <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Paul Mason" > wrote: > > > > 'Swami' Sattyanand speaks on Guru Dev:- > > > > 'When in 1953 Guru Dev left this mortal frame and attained nirvana I > > was at Banares, another place of pilgrimage for Hindus, and at that > > moment I was staying in the ashram of Guru Dev. > > Was there an Ashram of Guru Dev in Benares?

Thanks, Paul -- you are doing a terrific job. We need more to balance out the "strangeness" that has taken over what was once a fairly decent endeavour: TM.
