Photo impression of Terre de Sacha
Terre de Sacha is an ashram of ShantiMayi in the French Pyrenees.
The nature of Terre de Sacha is stark beyond words,
and therefore amazingly supportive on the journey of awakening.
Laxman Jhula
ShantiMayi was heard to say that the Rishikesh area is so holy because saints, sages, mahatmas and spiritual Masters have been walking here since the beginning of time. Nestled in the foothills of the majestic Himalayas, this area is predominantly filled with sacred temples, ashrams devoted to prayer, caves inhabited by yogis, and of course the holy River Ganga (Ganges).
Sacha Dham, Holy Place of Truth, is the ashram of Sri Hans Raj, Maharajji, the Guru of ShantiMayi. Located in the tiny village of Laxman Jhula, near Rishikesh, India, it is surrounded on three sides by the rushing waters of the sacred Ganga River. It is a very small and simple place, providing a home for Maharajji, his Indian disciples and their families. It's a very traditional Indian ashram.
