Temple's history

A magical place
A magical place

The temple is beautiful - so tranquil and serene. As soon as you enter the temple you feel the world slipping away and calm and serenity descending on you. The high temple can be seen from a long distances all around. The blessed peace of silence is tangible in the temple. The focus in the temple in Bhagwan Nityananda. Most people visiting temple fixedly gaze at the murti and remain immersed within themselves. The flowers, coconuts offered are usually returned to the devotees after these have been blessed at bhagwan's feet.

Ganeshpuri is holy land since ancient times. Sage Varistha, Lord Rama's Guru, held a great yagna here and as per belief at that time installed Lord Ganesha in a temple here. Great yogis practiced penance here in the surroundings of mountain Mandagni, which has been mentioned in many scriptures. River Tejasa flows near by. Bhagwan Nityanand chose this ancient centre of great spiritual energy to stay & revive its immortal glory. Bhagwan Nityanand came in 1937 and stayed near the hot waterspring of Bhimeshwar Mahadev temple. This is the place where His Samadhi temple is now built. When devotees multiplied, He shifted to a building named Kailash Niwas. He took Mahasamadhi in another building close by named Banglorewala building. Worship is held daily in both buildings which are maintained by the Sanstha. In a very natural manner the forest abode of Bhagwan Nityanand has changed it's shape to a busy town.
