It was a long time plan to visit this ashrama, since my bro and parents also had not seen this place, we all decided to go together.
It is around 35Kms from our place, we reached there in 1.5 hours.
( Luckily dint get struck in traffic).
The Vishwa Shanti Ashram is located in Arasinakunte village, Bangakore in Tumkur highway near Nelamangala town, It is spread around 20 acres of land. Vishwa Shanti Ashram is run by a Trust. The founder of this ashram is Sadguru Sant Kesavadas and Co-founder is Guru Mataji, successor to the Sadguru Sant Kesavadas.
As soon as we entered the Ashram, we saw a big statue of Vishwa Vijaya vittala.
Lastly we went to the main attraction of the ashram, i.e a meditation centre,which has grand statue of Lord Vishnu with all 10 incarnations, also known as " The Vishwa Roopa" , as revealed to Arjuna by Lord Krishna . It also has faces of lord Shiva & Ganesha. This meditation centre was very calm and gives a pleasant experience. This big statues impresses the visitors, we sat for a long time observing different faces of god..... Mom explained us about 10 incarnations of Lord Vishnu as 1. Matsya 2. Koorma 3. Varaha 4. Narasimha 5. Vamana 6. Parasurama 7. Lord Rama 8. Lord Krishna 9. Balarama 10. Kalki
Once you come out of the Meditation hall , you can see big statue of Gitopadesha Chariot. Gitopadesha, said to be the knowledge of Bhagvad Gita, given to Arjuna in the battle field of Kurukshetra . The Chariot here, is very well designed by the Shilpi(sculptor) Kasinath from Shimoga district in Karnataka. And an Statue of Sapta Matruke, representing seven rivers – Ganga, Yamuna, Godavari, Saraswathy, Narmada, Sindhu and Cauvery. We took some snaps & started from there, as it was about to close.Temple timings are 8am to 12.30pm & 4 pm to 7.30pm
