Swami Ramdas and Mother Krishnabai, endearingly called Beloved Papa and Pujya Mataji, founded Anandashram in 1931, in Kanhangad, Kerala, South India. Their life and teachings serve as a beacon to mankind. Their vision was universal and their life was devoted to the service of humanity.

DAILY PROGRAMMES
Our Master Beloved Papa Swami Ramdas emphatically stressed the need for chanting the Holy and all-powerful Divine Name. Thus chanting the Divine Name is the mainstay of Anandashram.

The Ashram provides a conducive atmosphere for visiting aspirants, to progress towards the goal spelt out above. The devotees are therefore advised to keep chanting the Holy Name as much as possible so as to ensure constant remembrance of Him, to see God in everything and everyone, love and serve all, looking upon them as the very forms of God, and submit to His supreme will in all matters.
