AOL Pune Ashram at MarkalThe much-cherished dream of having our very own AOL Ashram nearby Pune...Yes, We are in the process of creating a wonderful ashram at Markal, on Alandi – Nagar Road indeed. The blessed land of our future ashram touches River Bheema on one side and River Indrayani on the other, thus having a spectacular view to behold. Besides, this place is at a walking distance from the holy place Sangameshwar, where there's a Sangamam of 3 pious rivers. Situated at a distance of about 7 Kms from Alandi, the land near the ashram is being purchased by many of our AOL devotees. A Go-Shala (Cow-Shed) is already constructed where a few devotees have donated some cows. We have 12 healthy cows, with one little calf, which dances whenever she sees a new person, and one giant Nandi. In the village of Markal, several Navachetana Shibirs are taking place along with medical camps etc. The projects like constructing toilets and smokeless chullahs are already underway. Yes, we are also approaching our first monsoon after taking the ashram land. Lot of work is happening knowingly and unknowingly. Our ashram boundary also has expanded. We have a few devoted strong volunteers, who are enjoying seva there, evening satsangs, and our small kitchen's lovely food. Till today, 4 guest rooms have been constructed for those volunteers who want to stay and do seva. Now plantation work is going on, we have prepared for 2000 plants to be planted this monsoon. If you wish to provide any seva or want any more details please contact Mr Sukanto - 9422004162 Below are some snaps of the Ashram Land
