WELCOME TO MAHASIDDHA BABA SRI CHAND ASHRAM
A Living Ashram in the Foothills of the Himalayas
On the ground where Mahasiddha Baba Sri Chand sat in meditation, his presence still abides. This is now a living Ashram in his name, guided by Yogi Amandeep Singh, sustained by those who feel called to keep the lineage alive.
The Mahasiddha at the heart of this Ashram
Mahasiddha Baba Sri Chand was the elder son of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the founder of the Sikh faith, and one of the most revered yogic masters India has ever produced. Born in 1494, he lived approximately 149 years. The length of that life is itself a teaching about the depth of his practice.
He founded the Udasin tradition, the path of the renunciate yogi, and walked across India initiating seekers into the direct experience of liberation. Caste, creed, background: none of it mattered. What mattered was sincerity.
A Mahasiddha is a fully realized master. Within this lineage Baba Sri Chand is not remembered as a figure from the past. He sat for about a year on this land in the Himalayan foothills, and he still prevails here in his radiant body, present to anyone who arrives with an open heart.
This Ashram is not named for him the way a building gets named for a benefactor. It exists on his ground, in his presence, in service to his teaching.
The Ashram
The Ashram sits in the foothills of the Himalayas. The location is not symbolic. It is the specific site where Mahasiddha Baba Sri Chand sat in sustained meditation for approximately one year, and where his radiant body still abides.
That makes this place something more than a beautiful sanctuary. It is a living portal. The atmosphere of the land itself does part of the work, before anyone says a word.
Rooted in the Nirmallay Sikh Sadhu & Udasin tradition
The Ashram is rooted in the Nirmallay Sikh Sadhu tradition and the Udasin lineage of Baba Sri Chand, and is directly connected to Nirmal Panchati Akhara in Kankhal, Haridwar: one of the oldest and most respected homes of the Nirmallay tradition.
Udasin means "beyond," or "detached." The tradition Baba Sri Chand founded is the path of the renunciate yogi: non-sectarian, deeply ascetic, open to anyone who comes in sincerity. For over five centuries it has carried his transmission, intact,
Yogi Amandeep Singh carries that transmission today. Under his guidance the Ashram is becoming a place where this ancient current is not studied or remembered, but lived.
Guided by Yogi Amandeep Singh
Yogi Amandeep Singh is a world-renowned teacher of yogic and meditative traditions and the carrier of the living transmission of Baba Sri Chand's teachings.
It was Yogi Ji who recognized this land as the site where Baba Sri Chand had meditated. He has spent the years since dedicating his work to establishing the Ashram as a living sanctuary for inner transformation, seva, and direct contact with the Mahasiddha's presence.
Through retreats, teachings, pilgrimage, and community service, he has helped seekers across the world reconnect with discipline, lineage, and the transformative power of direct transmission.
How you can help
Two projects are most urgent: a proper access road and a dedicated meditation hall. The road carries everyone and everything that follows. The hall, projected at $80,000, will become the consecrated heart of the Ashram.
Beyond these, supporters can sponsor the community kitchen, plant a sacred tree, place a brick in a sacred structure, or give where need is greatest.
-
Help make the Ashram safely and reliably reachable. Every other project rests on this one.
-
Help build the spiritual heart of the Ashram: a consecrated space for collective practice, teaching, and retreat. Estimated cost: $80,000
-
Support the offering of food in the spirit of seva. In this tradition, the meal is an act of worship.
-
Contribute to construction, sacred trees, land care, and wherever the need is greatest right now.

Help sustain a living home for Dharma
