Sri Aurobindo Yoga Mandir, Thankot, Kathmandu

Now, what you see here at Sri Aurobindo Yoga Mandir, Thankot, Kathmandu is the result of that experience on that peak. Since there was no proper ashram of Sri Aurobindo here in Nepal. I realized that I was sent to Pondichery to prepare myself of this work here and because of their Grace and our incessant effort Sri Aurobindo Yoga Mandir has grown from one inmate, that is myself, to 90 inmates including almost 70 children 20 adults. We want to be totally self-sufficient not depending on any organization or government. Though we are not yet self-sufficient to maintain the present cost we are able to earn the needed amount that is to say if we want to buy some land or construct more buildings we need some extra help. For the time being we were getting some help from friends and one of my brother who lives in New Zealand. Though it is not that easy to run Ashram here like India where we have millions of Ashrams and there most of the peoples have respect love for such places here the general attitude is different because of lack of knowledge, education, and prosperity.
Sri Matri-Aurobindo Vidyalaya Sri Matri-Aurobindo Vidyalaya was started here with the methodology suggested by Her Divine The Mother and Sri Aurobindo. Right now, there are 100 students and Sadhak-sadhikas involved in "Gyan-Sadhana". We at present run several income generating activities such as:
1) We sell the extra milk from our cows diary.
2) We make natural incense and try to sell them abroad.
3) We have a grinding mill for the rice, wheat and other things.
4) We run a yoga centre for teaching the Hatha Yoga.
5) We run a Naturopathy clinic for natural healing system.
6) We run a guest house for the visitors who would like to stay here.
