Baba ji

Born on March 10, 1925, on the day of the Holi Festival in a small village of Karnataka, Baba lost his parents at a tender age and during the cremation rites of his mother, an unknown lady took the grieving child to the adjacent temple of Mother Goddess and told him that She was the real universal mother, who would always protect him. Thereafter, Baba’s total dedication and surrender to the Divine Mother became a living reality.

The child was looked after, educated and trained by the Sadhus. Baba travelled all over the country and went for pilgrimages to the holy places including the ones in the East and South, the difficult terrains of the Himalayan region and even to Tibetan plateau where the holy Kailash and Mansarovar are located.

He spent many years in the Kashmir valley and then with the guidance of Maa Durga, moved to Delhi, where he constructed a temple in Arjun Nagar and then to Durga Ashram near Chattarpur Village and finally to the present site, which was then an uneven wasteland covered with wild shrubs and bushes.
