    “Creation is immeasurable and there are many doctrines. Stick to one principle, that of Truth, Simplicity, Love. Live in Truth, Simplicity and Love and practice Karma Yoga ” – Babaji

    Introduction – In 1991 a group of Dutch people started the adventure of the ashram Sada Shiva Dham in Loenen Veluwe, the Netherlands. Sada Shiva Dham is a meeting and retreat center centered around the teachings of Mahavatar Haidakhan Babaji.

    We invite you to pay a visit, to enjoy a moment of silence in the temple or to participate in the daily program. Everyone is welcome, regardless of religion, belief, background. If you come for more than a day, you can stay the night on the ashram.

    For groups, associations, etc., it is possible to arrange a tour and / or an information meeting. Host groups can use our facilities to plan their own retreat program in harmony with the ashram program.

    The ashram Sada Shiva Dham is inspired by the teachings of Mahavatar  Haidakhan Babaji: the principles of Truth, Simplicity, and Love and karma-yoga. Karma yoga can be explained as selfless work, work in service of humanity.

    This morning the first full day of the Bhakti festival 2018 started with the Paduka Puja in Babaji’s chalet and kirtan around the havan kund. At about the same time there was a small silent havan in the dhuni building.

    After the Aarti and a small breakfast at the Chai-shop, the whole morning was filled with kirtan in the temple. You could also go to the big tent for a yoga workshop.

    Images of the kirtan in the temple you can see  below:
