Maharishi Sandipani Ashram: The School of God

December 12, 2025 Friday

Sandipani Ashram is not just a temple; it is the ancient Gurukul where Lord Krishna, his brother Balarama, and friend Sudama received their education from Guru Sandipani. It is the only place where Krishna is worshipped as a student, holding a slate and chalk.
