RISHRA PREM MANDIR ASHRAM

"The western coast of the holy Ganga is as good as the land of Varanasi." Brahmachari Yogiraj Sree Sree Balananda Maharaj manifested himself in his full glory at Baidyanath Dham (Deoghar). "Ramnivas Brahmacharyya Ashram" established by him, is still devoted to the task of welfare of people. Revered Srimat Tarananda Brahmachari Maharaj spent long fourteen years under the guidance and care of Sree Sree Balananda Maharaj and successfully accomplished his devotional ends. He established the Prem Mandir (Temple of Love) on the western bank of Ganga in Rishra in the Bengali year 1340 (1933 A.D) as per the order of his mentor. His chief motive was to propagate religion and spirituality and serve humanity. At present, attempts are being made to execute the tasks of Prem Mandir through two independent organisations (1) religious activities through Prem Mandir Ashram and (2) welfare activities through Prem Mandir Janakalyan Samiti established in the year 1985.
