| Anandashram and Nityanandasramam |
 |
These are the
two notable asramams in Kanhangad . Anandashramam , situated
about
five kms. east of the Kanhangad Railway Station, was
founded in 1939 by Swami Ramadas, a great
Vaishnava
saint of modern times. The main asramam and other buildings
have a beautiful setting in the midst of shady mango, coconut
and other groves. There is a hill to the east of the asramam,
to
which
the dovotees retire for quiet meditation and from its west,
the surrounding extensive landscape can be seen in its natural
grandeur.
The spot at the highest point of the hill is so fascinating
|
that the devotees,
who go up the hill and sit silently, are blessed with deep peace
and transquillity. The Nityanandasramam,
which is situated on the hillock about half a km. south of the
Hosdurg taluk office, was founded by Swami Nityananda. The spot
was at first part of a forest area. Here Swami Nityananda constructed
45 guhas (caves) in a mountain slope. There is a temple built
in 1963, after the style and design of the famous Somanatha Temple
in Gujarat. A full size statue of Swami Nityananda in sitting
posture
made of panchaloha is one of the attractions of the asramam. |
