The Teachings

Since its foundation in 1976, Kashi Ashram and Ma Jaya have touched many thousands of lives throughout the country and the world and continue to do so every day.

Kashi Ashram is an international interfaith community whose purpose is to awaken a radical awareness about one’s spiritual self and the issues that face the world today. We believe that an awakened soul is a catalyst to change the world. Ma teaches that all paths, followed with a pure heart, lead to the God within. She says that, “We are men and women of Spirit who happen to worship in different ways.” At Kashi Ashram interfaith is understood to embrace not only different paths and religions, but diverse people and lifestyles.
