Please join us in celebrating the diversity among us. Peace

Kashi Ashram is an international interfaith community whose purpose is to awaken a radical awareness about one’s spiritual self and the issues that face the world today. We believe that an awakened soul is a catalyst to change the world. Ma teaches that all paths, followed with a pure heart, lead to the God within. She says that, "We are men and women of Spirit who happen to worship in different ways." At Kashi Ashram interfaith is understood to embrace not only different paths and religions, but diverse people and lifestyles.

Most recently Ma Jaya has been chosen by The Temple of Understanding as one of 50 honorees to be honored at the 50th Anniversary Gala and Juliet Hollister Awards Ceremony to be held in New York on October 19th, 2010. We look forward to sharing photos from that event.

Some of the major international interfaith organizations that Kashi has worked with on an ongoing basis for many years are the Council for a Parliament of the World's Religions, United Religions Initiative and the Institute on Religion and Public Policy. Kashi has made many wonderful lifelong friends and been involved in great work with these groups and we encourage anyone who is interested in interfaith dialogue to find out more about them through their websites and get involved!
