Every listing is lovingly curated. Know a place that belongs here? Share it with us.
Kainchi Dham
Set among the Kumaon hills of Uttarakhand, Kainchi Dham grew around a place Maharaj-ji visited in the early 1960s. The first temple was inaugurated in June 1964. Devotees gather here for darshan and worship, and June 15 is marked as Pratishtha Divas, the temple's consecration anniversary. The ashram is closely tied to Maharaj-ji's life and to the devotees, including Ram Dass, who spent time with him here. The Shree Kainchi Hanuman Mandir Trust administers the site. For current visiting guidance, use the Trust's official website; do not assume overnight accommodation is available.

Neem Karoli Baba Ashram Taos
At 416 Geronimo Lane in Taos, the Neem Karoli Baba Ashram and Hanuman Temple offers a place to practice Maharaj-ji's teachings in New Mexico. The ashram describes its life through meditation, devotional singing, satsang and seva, or service. Its Hanuman mandir is a gathering point for visitors and the local community. The Taos ashram's welcome emphasizes 'Sub Ek' - we are all one. It welcomes visitors to the temple room and grounds and asks them to respect community guidelines. Its website carries current announcements and visiting details, which may change with staffing.
Ashram Brindavon
Durgamayi Ma founded Brindavon Ashram in Ulm in 1999, naming it for the Indian city of Vrindavan where she first met her Guru, Neem Karoli Baba. The townhouse became a home for her community and a center of shared spiritual practice as the satsang grew. The ground-floor temple area includes spaces dedicated to Maharaj-ji, Hanuman and several other spiritual figures. Members of Ma's community live at Brindavon; her association also runs the newer Sri Neem Karoli Baba Mandir across the Danube in Neu-Ulm. Both are disciple-lineage centers, distinct from Maharaj-ji's Indian ashrams.
Baba Neeb Karori Dham Thane
Baba Neeb Karori Dham in Thane West is a contemporary devotional space dedicated to Maharaj-ji. Its own website says it opened on September 14, 2024, as a place for meditation, worship and community gatherings. It celebrates Hindu festivals and describes service inspired by his teachings. The Dham is at G-39, Regal Plaza, Lokpuram, Vasant Vihar, Thane West. This is a later devotee-founded place, not a temple built by Maharaj-ji. Its operator posts current darshan hours and contact details; check there before visiting.
Baba's Yard - Cleveland Seva
Baba's Yard is a program of Baba Neem Karoli Satsang, a nonprofit rooted in Maharaj-ji's teachings. Its Cleveland work includes free plant-based meals and a garden sanctuary; its site currently says first-Tuesday lunches can be reserved for pickup at the sanctuary at 3001 Sackett Avenue. It also describes a native-tree nursery in northern New Mexico. Check with the organization for the next meal, volunteering and location details before visiting. This is a service project, not a permanent ashram.
Bhakti Breakfast Club - Online Kirtan Classes
Bhakti Breakfast Club offers online courses for learning kirtan, chanting and devotional music. The course library changes, so browse the current offerings and access details on its own site. This is an online learning collection, not a physical school or a single scheduled event.
Bhakti in Paradise Maui Retreat II with Govind Das
Lotus Retreats announces a March 29-April 3, 2027 Maui retreat hosted by Govind Das, Jacqueline Michelle and Saul David Raye. The six-day program describes morning sadhana, meditation, mantra, chanting and movement. The organizer says this is a benefit supporting Hanuman Maui and the purchase of Ram Dass's former home; it does not say that the retreat itself is hosted at that sanctuary. The publicly described location is Maui, with no specific venue confirmed on the operator's overview. Check directly for the meeting location and current registration details.
Chant as Medicine with Nina Rao
Ram Dass Montana, a program of Braided Way Peace Collective, presents Nina Rao's Chant as Medicine retreat May 21-23, 2027 at Flathead Lutheran Bible Camp in Lakeside. The weekend is described as chanting, study, silent sitting, breath-centered movement and shared practice. This is a hosted retreat at a camp, not a permanent Ram Dass or Neem Karoli Baba ashram. See Nina Rao's event page for the current program and registration information.
Ecstatic Chant at Blue Spirit with Jai Uttal
Blue Spirit hosts its annual Ecstatic Chant retreat December 26, 2026-January 2, 2027 near Nosara, Costa Rica. Jai Uttal joins Deva Premal and Miten, Jahnavi Harrison, Marianela Ortiz and other artists for a week of chanting, movement and shared practice. This is a multi-artist retreat hosted by Blue Spirit, not a permanent Neem Karoli Baba ashram or a program run by Maharaj-ji's trust. Check Blue Spirit for current availability and program details before traveling.
Flow of Grace Immersion with Nina Rao and Krishna Das
Nina Rao and Krishna Das offer this 12-plus-hour self-paced course of meditation, chanting and stories centered on Hanuman.

Nina's courses page carries the current course link and access details.
Go Dharmic - Global Seva
Go Dharmic is a London-based international humanitarian organization inspired by Neem Karoli Baba's message of loving, feeding and serving all. Founded by Hanuman Dass, it organizes volunteer-led food banks, environmental projects, crisis relief and school initiatives in multiple countries. Its London address is an organizational base, not the only place to volunteer; visit Go Dharmic for current campaigns and ways to help.
Go Dharmic Himalayan Retreat - 2026 India Pilgrimage
Go Dharmic's Himalayan Retreat with Hanuman Dass & Friends is an eight-day gathering in Guniyalekh, Uttarakhand, October 25-November 1, 2026. The program combines satsang, chanting, meditation and seva with pilgrimages to Kainchi Dham, Kakrighat and Sombhari Baba Cave. It includes a visit with the family of K.K. Sah, a close devotee of Neem Karoli Baba. Go Dharmic lists the Peace Centre and Oak Climbing Resort as its bases and asks participants to arrange their own flights and visa. Check the operator's page for current registration and travel details before making plans.
Govind Das India Kirtan and Bhakti Retreat
Bhakti Yoga Shala's October 16-29, 2026 retreat with Govind Das is a traveling pilgrimage through Rishikesh, Kainchi Dham and Vrindavan. The program combines kirtan, meditation, bhakti yoga, temple visits and time with fellow travelers. Rishikesh is the starting place on this listing, not a single permanent retreat site or an ashram operated by Govind Das. The organizer currently marks this edition SOLD OUT; check its site for future editions rather than assuming space is available.
Hanuman Garhi Ashram and Temple
Hanuman Garhi stands on a ridge about two kilometers from Nainital, with wide views on clear days. A devotee account dates its inauguration to 1951 and describes it as reportedly the first temple established by Maharaj-ji. That makes the site part of the early history of his temples in the Kumaon hills. Hanuman worship shapes the daily rhythm here, with arati described in the morning and evening. Visitors should check the temple for current practice times. This is a temple visit rather than an invitation to stay overnight; the source says ashram lodging is restricted.
Hanuman Mandir South Australia
Hanuman Mandir South Australia is a public Hanuman temple in Monteith near Murray Bridge, South Australia. The temple's own site says it honors Neem Karoli Baba's teachings and held an installation ceremony for his idol alongside a Shivling in July 2025. It describes kirtan, meditation and service as part of its community life. This is a broader Hanuman temple with a Maharaj-ji shrine, not an ashram founded by Neem Karoli Baba or a dedicated Neem Karoli Baba ashram. Its published address is 38 McCulloch Road, Monteith. Check its operator website for current access and programs before traveling.
Hanuman Maui - Ram Dass Loving Awareness Sanctuary
Hanuman Maui preserves the house and grounds where Ram Dass spent the last years of his life. After his death in 2019, his caregivers and satsang formed a sanctuary there for kirtan, meditation, service and pilgrimage. Its Maui Hanuman Mandir was inaugurated on Guru Purnima in 2021; the operator describes daily care of the Hanuman murti and a space for prayer. This is a Ram Dass and Maharaj-ji-inspired community, not an ashram founded by Neem Karoli Baba himself. The sanctuary is in a residential neighborhood and schedules only a small number of visitors each week. Visits are by appointment, not walk-in; use the operator's website to ask about a visit.
Hanuman Reunion
Hanuman Reunion is a sacred space created around 2024 as part of the Reunion Wellness retreat center on Costa Rica's Pacific coast. It hosts bhakti and kirtan retreats in the Neem Karoli Baba lineage. It is not a standalone ashram. The center gives its location as Playa Pan de Azúcar, Sugar Beach Road, Potrero, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica. Check the center and Hanuman Reunion's Instagram for current access and gathering details.
Heart of Devotion Retreat with Krishna Das
The Garrison Institute hosted Heart of Devotion retreats with Krishna Das in March 2025 and February 2026. Its weekend program brings together yoga, kirtan, devotional practice, discussions and chanting led by Nina Rao. The 2026 edition is over and registration is closed; no future date is announced on the operator's page. This is a recurring hosted retreat at Garrison Institute, not a permanent Neem Karoli Baba center. Check with the institute before planning a future visit.

Just Love Forest Ashram
In the Appalachian foothills of Poetry, Georgia, Just Love Forest describes itself as a 716-acre nature sanctuary and community for healing in nature. Its work is inspired by the teachings and devotional path of Neem Karoli Baba and Ram Dass. This is a contemporary, lineage-inspired community, not one of Maharaj-ji's historic Indian ashrams. The forest itself is central to the experience. The community draws on forest bathing, time spent listening and paying attention outdoors, and long-term care for land protected by a conservation easement. Its website shares invitations to retreats and gatherings; check there for current ways to visit.
La Sangha with Durga Stef
Durga Stef, a yoga and meditation teacher based in Valle de Bravo and a board member of the Ram Dass Love Serve Remember Foundation, hosts La Sangha, a Spanish-language online community for spiritual practice. Members have classes, live sessions and a private community for connection. Her teachings draw on Ram Dass. This is a paid, recurring membership, with participants across countries; check her site for current terms and access. A place to stay connected with satsang wherever you live.
Lama Foundation
Lama Foundation is an interfaith spiritual community and educational center in the mountains roughly 20 miles north of Taos. Founded in 1967, it practices daily meditation, service and stewardship of the land, with residents, guests and seasonal programs. Ram Dass stayed here after returning from India in 1970. He wrote part of Be Here Now at Lama, and its residents and artists helped create and hand-publish the work, initially titled From Bindu to Ojas, before its wider 1971 publication. Lama is an independent interfaith community with a deep Ram Dass connection, not an ashram founded by Neem Karoli Baba. Check its own site for current visiting and program details.
Neeb Karori Ashram and Maharaj-ji's Cave
This village is closely bound to Maharaj-ji's story: his familiar names Neem Karoli and Neeb Karori come from it. According to the Taos ashram's history, he lived here as a sadhu for roughly twenty years, until about 1938. The ashram and cave lie off the more traveled pilgrim routes of Uttar Pradesh. The Hanuman temple holds a murti the same account says Maharaj-ji made with his own hands. Nearby Lakshmandas Puri railway station is associated with the well-known story of Maharaj-ji and a train. These are parts of the site's devotional history, not a promise of visitor facilities; check locally before traveling.
Neem Karoli Baba Ashram Lucknow
Maharaj-ji's Lucknow ashram was inaugurated on January 26, 1967. The site includes murtis of Neem Karoli Baba and Hanuman, as well as Shiva lingas. Murals show scenes from the Ramayana, including Ram and Sita and the building of the bridge to Lanka. The Taos ashram's account describes a place kept ready for bhandara, the devotional sharing of food. Its Hanuman is known as Sankat Mochan, a form associated with removing troubles. A Mahasamadhi Bhandara is also held here. Check locally for current worship and visiting arrangements; the online account does not supply a precise street address.
Neem Karoli Baba Ashram Vrindavan
In the holy city of Vrindavan, Maharaj-ji's ashram stands on Parikrama Marg near Mathura Road. Its first temple was inaugurated in 1967. Vrindavan holds a special place in his story: he left his body here in September 1973, and the ashram contains his Mahasamadhi Mandir. Alongside the memorial temple are shrines dedicated to Hanuman, Durga, Sita Ram and Shiva. Devotees gather here for the annual Mahasamadhi Bhandara, remembering Maharaj-ji through worship and shared food. For current visiting details, consult the ashram directly.

Neem Karoli Baba Nashik Satsang Circle
A circle of Neem Karoli Baba devotees gathers in Nashik for informal Tuesday aarti and satsang. Its own site invites visitors to light a diya, sing the Hanuman Chalisa and divine names, and sit together. The gathering is listed for Tuesdays at 6:00 PM at 1, Matrudarshan, above Zero Degree (next to Laxmi Plywood), opposite Vasant Market, Canada Corner, Nashik 422005. Check with the circle before visiting to confirm the time and location. This is a satsang circle, not a permanent temple or ashram. The group says a dedicated dham in Nashik is only a future hope; no such building exists yet.
Neem Karoli Baba Rishikesh Ashram
Just south of Rishikesh, Maharaj-ji's ashram is marked by a Hanuman figure rising about forty feet beside the road from Haridwar. The statue makes the site hard to miss even before visitors reach the temple grounds. A second Hanuman murti is also part of the ashram. The Taos Neem Karoli Baba Ashram's account describes worship centered on Hanuman and Maharaj-ji, with devotional recitations and celebrations held at the site. For a visit, confirm current access and timings locally rather than relying on an old online schedule.
Neem Karoli Dham Indore
Neem Karoli Dham in Indore is a contemporary temple dedicated to Neem Karoli Baba and Hanuman. Its operator says the Dham was established at Shri Khalifa Farm House in Pigdambar, near IIM Indore, with a consecration ceremony on May 28, 2022. A Hanuman murti was installed after the opening. This is a later devotee-founded place, not an ashram established by Maharaj-ji himself. The temple's site posts current programs and visiting information, including aarti times. It is near IIM College in Pigdambar (Rau), Indore. Check directly with the Dham before traveling, since event details and access can change.
Nina Rao Sacred Journey to the Heart of Peru
Nina Rao and Bibi Lorenzetti announce a September 21-October 3, 2027 devotional journey through Peru, combining yoga, Vedic chant, kirtan and cultural pilgrimage. The route moves through Lima, Paracas, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu and Cusco; Samadhi Sacred Valley in Huayllabamba is one base, not the whole itinerary. This is a traveling retreat program, not a permanent public Neem Karoli Baba center at the map location. Check Nina Rao's full itinerary before planning travel.
NKB Bhakti Dham
NKB Bhakti Dham is a Neem Karoli Baba and Ram Dass-inspired gathering place in a private residence in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. Its community welcomes visitors for satsang, meditation, prayer, kirtan and the Hanuman Chalisa. The home setting gives the gatherings an intimate, shared feel rather than the scale of a large temple. The Colorado nonprofit also puts service into practice through its Homeless Outreach, assembling kits of essentials for people in the Denver and Colorado Springs areas. Its website lists current gatherings and ways to get in touch. This is a contemporary devotee community, not an ashram founded by Maharaj-ji himself.

The organizer describes a gathering in Ram Dass's legacy with Krishna Das and friends: kirtan, meditation, talks, yoga and time for reflection.

The fifth annual gathering ran August 27-31, 2026, with Krishna Das and friends. The program brings bhakti and Buddhist traditions together through chanting, meditation, teachings and community.

Check the Love Serve Remember Foundation for any future edition and current registration details.
Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple Shimla
Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple sits off the Kalka-Shimla road near Tara Devi, a short drive from Shimla. The Himachal Pradesh tourism department describes it as a public temple dedicated to Hanuman, with shrines to Rama, Shiva and Ganesha. The national tourism portal connects its origin to Neem Karoli Baba's visits and the wish to build a Hanuman temple here. The accounts disagree on the exact founding year, so this listing leaves that date open. This is a living public temple, not simply a site associated with a past visit. Check the district's visitor page for travel details and confirm current access before going.
Saraswati Robin - Nourishing Life India Pilgrimages
Saraswati Robin of Nourishing Life leads spiritual journeys to India inspired by Ram Dass and his guru Neem Karoli Baba. Her India Tours page describes pilgrimages to sacred sites with satsang, kirtan and aarti, including a Himalayan Yoga Yatra scheduled for October 21-November 1, 2026. The location here is her US base, not a fixed pilgrimage venue. Check Nourishing Life for current departures, itinerary, availability and travel arrangements; no booking is made through this directory.
Sri Neem Karoli Baba Mandir
Durgamayi Ma opened the Sri Neem Karoli Baba Mandir in Neu-Ulm in October 2021 in honor of her teacher, Neem Karoli Baba. Her community acquired the building in 2019 after the nearby Brindavon Ashram became too small. At the inauguration, Ma brought a Hanuman murti from Brindavon to the new mandir. This German center was founded by Ma's community, not by Maharaj-ji himself. The mandir hosts contemplation, kirtan and communal practice. In March 2026, the ashram began building a small temple in its garden to preserve a vessel containing ashes from Maharaj-ji's cremation site. The operator reported in September 2026 that construction was still underway. Check its website for current visiting and event details.

Sivananda Ashram Yoga Retreat hosts Nina Rao's Power of Chant program February 10-12, 2027, immediately before Krishna Das's Yoga of Chant retreat at the same venue. Nina shares Vedic chanting, prayers to the Goddess and Hanuman Chalisa practice, drawing in part on her guru Sri Siddhi Ma's teachings. This is a hosted program at a Sivananda ashram, not a Neem Karoli Baba-run site. Check the operator for the current schedule and registration details.
Yoga of Chant Retreat with Krishna Das
Sivananda Ashram Yoga Retreat on Paradise Island hosts an annual Yoga of Chant program with Krishna Das, a disciple of Neem Karoli Baba. Its February 12-14, 2027 edition offers kirtan concerts and workshops on chanting and bhakti. This is a hosted retreat at the Sivananda ashram, not a Neem Karoli Baba ashram.
