The Chicago chapter of the Bharat Sevashram Sangha was founded by Swami Purnatmanandaji. It was first located on California Avenue just off Devon Avenue in Chicago. It soon outgrew the small location and was moved to a quiet sanctuary in Rohrssen Rd in Elgin. Now in response to community needs for a center for learning, sadhu-sangha, and prayer, the Ashram has been moved to a large building in a quiet neighborhood in the historic town of Aurora in the summer of 2007.

Ashram has also acquired a house to serve as a guest house, to accommodate visitors wishing to stay overnight. If you wish to come and take advantage of this convenience, we ask that you please call ashram ahead of time to make sure you can be accommodated properly.
