Our Story
A Home for Devotion in Taradgaon
Mahanubhav Ashram sits quietly at Kadyacha Mala, offering daily pooja, aarti and community seva in the Krishna-centred Mahanubhava tradition established by Shri Chakradhar Swami in the 13th century.
Our mission is simple: keep the sanctum open, the aarti lamps lit, and the doors welcoming — to every devotee, every day of the year — while supporting the wider community through Annadan and charitable seva.
