Meditation Hall & Access Road
Help Build the Access Road and Meditation Hall
At this stage in the Ashram's growth, the most important fundraising priorities are clear and simple: a proper road in, and a proper hall to sit in.
One creates the physical access needed to reach and sustain this sacred site. The other creates the consecrated interior space where the Ashram's deepest work, meditation and teaching and retreat, will happen in the presence of Baba Sri Chand.

Monthly giving builds a steady floor under everything that happens here. Recurring gifts support daily life and long-term vision in the same breath, and let the Ashram plan with confidence rather than urgency.
The Meditation Hall
What this hall will become
The meditation hall will be the consecrated center of the Ashram: a permanent, protected interior space where the work that brings people here can deepen and continue.
It will hold:
daily meditation and personal practice
silent retreats of any length
teachings by Yogi Amandeep Singh and visiting masters of the lineage
sacred gatherings on Full Moon and on the holy days of the tradition
collective practice for individuals and groups arriving from across the world
When the hall is built, individuals and groups will be able to sit together on the ground where the Mahasiddha himself sat, in a space designed precisely for that depth of practice.
Why $80,000
The figure is the full cost of bringing a permanent, fully usable meditation hall into being on a Himalayan site. It includes:
foundation work suited to mountain terrain
structural materials brought to a site that, until the access road is complete, must be carried in over difficult ground
weatherproofing built for monsoon and for cold mountain winters
an interior surface fit for hours of seated practice
the sacred elements appropriate to a space consecrated within this lineage: altar, threshold, dedicated sites for Yogi Ji and visiting teachers
It is a single number with many parts. Each of those parts can be sponsored.

The Access Road
Why a road is a spiritual project
In any other organization, a road is logistics. Here it is the precondition for everything that calls itself spiritual on this land.
The Full Moon langar reaches no one without the road. Materials for the meditation hall arrive only by way of the road. The pilgrim who has travelled across an ocean to sit in the Underground Meditation Cell of Mahasiddha Baba Sri Chand takes the road in the last mile.
To fund the road is to fund the conditions under which a Mahasiddha's presence becomes accessible to anyone other than those willing to walk in over difficult ground.
What the road will do when it is built
Carry visitors, residents, and workers in and out safely in every season
Allow construction materials to reach the Ashram reliably, reducing delays and cost
Make medical access possible in an emergency, at any hour
Support the growing number of pilgrims and retreatants the Ashram is being called to host
Protect everyone arriving by reducing the wear, risk, and uncertainty of the current track
