SIDDHACHALAM
| Abode of the Gods Nestled amongst 108 acres of nature's bounty, Siddhachalam has drawn worshippers and devotees from around the world to share in the spirit of universal brotherhood. It is first and foremost a temple of God; an abode of the siddhas; a place that inspires and supports our journey to self-realization. Founded in 1983 by His Holiness Acharya Sushil Kumar Ji Maharaj, Siddhachalam continues to grow in both service and popularity every day. As the first Jain tirth outside of India, Siddhachalam is dedicated to spread the message of non-violence to spiritual seekers of all denominations. It is here that they can learn the wisdom of extending kindness and compassion to all living beings through the practice of vegetarianism and selfless service to all of God's creatures. It is also a place that encourages contemplation and deep meditation; a place where people are blessed by the peace, love and wisdom of the Arihantas. The ancient discipline of yoga and the science of sound can also be studied here, where wise and friendly resident monks are available to gently guide our spiritual practices. An annual family camp is scheduled for July 11th thru the 18th, where children and adults can laugh and learn together as they enjoy the serene environment and divine teachings of Guruji. Pujas are also lead by Pandit Mauji Ram each Sunday morning from
7:00a.m. to 9:30a.m. Please join us in celebrating the enchantment of this magnificent place -- and feel free to call upon us here at Siddhachalam for further information on any of our programs or activities.
