Our FAQ's

Kainchi Dham doesn't strictly adhere to a single tradition.  Shri Neem Karoli Baba's teachings emphasized universal love, devotion, and service, resonating with followers across various spiritual paths.  The Ashram welcomes people from all backgrounds and faiths seeking spiritual growth.

While the Kainchi Dham Bhandara is the most prominent event, here are some other occasions to consider:

  • Guru Purnima (July): Celebrates the birth anniversary of spiritual teachers, including the potential commemoration of Shri Neem Karoli Baba.
  • Rama Navami (March/April): Honors the birth of Lord Rama, a significant figure in Hinduism.

Seva (selfless service) is an integral part of the Ashram experience. Opportunities might include:

  • Assisting with kitchen duties at the langar (community kitchen).
  • Helping with cleaning and maintenance of the Ashram premises.
  • Participating in gardening or other upkeep tasks.
  • Alcohol, tobacco, and non-vegetarian food items are strictly prohibited within the Ashram complex.
  • Leather goods: While not explicitly banned, some devotees might prefer a leather-free environment. Consider alternatives for footwear, belts, etc.

Hindi is the primary language spoken at Kainchi Dham.  English might be understood by some Ashram staff, but it's best to learn a few basic Hindi phrases for a smoother experience.
