Bhardwaj Ashram Allahabad

Bharadawj Ashrama in Allahabad is symbolic of continuum of Hindu culture and civilization since ages immemorial. During the time of Ram, River Ganga used to flow aside it as it was situated on the banks of the divine river. A shrine marks the spot on which once the hermitage of the sage Bharadwaj stood. Rama had met him and had a significant dialogue with him here. There are several temples near Bhardwaj Ashrama in Prayagraj (Allahabad). Maharshi Bharadwaj was a master of knowledge of Vedas, Puranas, Ayurveda, Dhanurveda and Vimana Shastra. His ‘gurukul’ was a great center of learning and education. Bharadwaj Ashrama is a symbol of thousands of years of relation of the knowledgeable sages and Prayagraj. Due to continuous Yajna in Bharadwaj Ashrama, Prayagraj is also called in the Hindu religious scriptures as land of Yajna. Owing to higher learnings in Bharadwaj Ashrama, Prayagraj on Triveni Sangam (confluence of Ganga, Yamuna and invisible Saraswati rivers) came to be known as the land of education. In Valmiki Ramayana, Bhardwaj has been called the Chancellor of this Gurukul.
