The photo at the top of the page shows the Ashram as it was about 15 years ago. As I learn to work this site, I shall add other images, in line with the title and topic of this blog, but including generic images that for some (or perhaps only for me) will have a certain connection with India. If you wish to read about my experience there, do a Google or Amazon search for my name, Thomas Matus, and for my recent books: Ashram Diary: In India with Bede Griffiths and Yoga and the Jesus Prayer, both published by O Books.
