Paramahansa Yogananda's Smriti Mandir - Hindu temple in Ranchi - Ranchi, India

A sprawling math managed by Yogda Satsang Society. It is historical place related to revered yogi and mystic shri Paramhansa Yogananda whose wrote probably the world's most famous yogic book called ' Autobiography of a Yogi'. He has spent time here. Under a leafy Lichi tree he taught Yog. This campus has administrative office, beautiful Meditation hall, a school, etc. His smriti mandir which is like white lotus in green verdant surrounding is very calming. One forgets all worldly worries on reaching here. The campus has beautiful flower plants and other plants. A shiv temple is also there. Its an extremely soothing experience to visit here.

A place only for spirituality inclined with huge devotion in mind . A place 9f silence and surrender

Paramahansa Yogananda Smriti Mandir, build in 1995 to replace the former Dhyana Mandir on the Spot Where Paramahansaji had the momentous visit that called him to America in 1920, as described in Authbiography of a Yogi, Chapter 37. In his Autobiography, Paramahansaji writes: "America! Surely these people are Americans!" This was my thought as a panorama of Western faces passed before my inward view. Immersed in meditation, I was sitting behind some dusty boxes in the storeroom of the Ranchi school....The vision continued; a vast multitude, gazing at me intently, swept actorlike across the stage of consciousness. On this very sacred spot stands the Smriti Mandir, a tall hexagonal all marble temple with decorative lace wall on all the sides and a large lotus dome, a memorial to the world wide mission that took its first step there.

One of the finest place in Ranchi. Nature's touch with spiritual ambience makes it a perfect.

Amazing place to get the peace of your mind. Best for meditation. Just got lots of positive energy and vibes

Such an awesome place to visit.

Something is here. If you try to indulge, you will find. After all, you can't tell a sweet dish, how fine it is, or , if is it even sweet or not, no matter how good the Outlook/garnishing is. More than peace, i found myself somewhat Euphoric here. Bliss in my mind and body. One thing is sure, this Bliss will come ONLY when we will TRY, never by just imagining.
