Since the last 25 years, a group of people residing in Mumbai has been following the teachings of Shrimad Rajchandra (Param Krupalu Dev) under the divine guidance of Pujyashri Gurudev. They participate in various activities like bhakti, pravachan etc. At first, these activities were conducted at the homes of various followers; however as light kindles light, the number of followers began to increase and soon reached a sizeable figure. Thus, it became essential to further systematize the activities of this group. As a result, a trust under the name of Shrimad Rajchandra Adhyatmik Satsang Sadhana Kendra was established in 1994.

Guided by Pujyashri Gurudev's vision the 'Shrimad Rajchandra Adhyatmik Satsang Sadhana Kendra' facilitates a large number of devotees in Mumbai to integrate Param Krupalu Dev's teachings in their lives. Pujyashri Gurudev's Pravachans are held in Mumbai every fortnight.

Bombay Market Apartments - Tardeo, is the organization's main centre in Mumbai, where one can experience togetherness with the Divine through bhakti held here every morning. Audio and video recordings of Pujyashri Gurudev's Pravachans and various publications of the organization are also available here.

The need for an ashram was felt in order to give a concrete form to the spiritual endeavours carried out in Mumbai. The human mind out of habit is easily distracted by external influences. In order to break this habit, it is essential to maintain a distance from worldly activities and events. To focus on the inner self, it is important to take the help of favourable and auspicious influences. Regular practice of spiritual activities like bhakti, pravachan, dhyan etc. help retain one's focus on the path and are conducive to the journey within.

It is with this objective that Pujyashri Gurudev has conceived and inspired the formation of the Shrimad Rajchandra Ashram, which was established by the trust on the auspicious day of Mahavir Jayanti, 2001 on the blessed land of Dharampur.

The key reason behind the selection of Dharampur (Dist. Valsad, South Gujarat) as the ashram site lay in the fact that this land has been blessed by Param Krupalu Dev's physical presence. In the year 1900, He had consecrated this soil of Dharampur for about 35 days (from Chaitra Sud Ekam to Vaishakh Sud Pancham V.S. 1956). He had spent much of His time in solitude at the crematorium and in the surrounding jungles, immersed in spiritual bliss. Consequently, under the auspices of the Ashram, a magnificent memorial of Param Krupalu Dev has been constructed on the grounds of the crematorium at Dharampur.

Another major reason in the choice of Dharampur as the ashram site was its proximity to Mumbai. Being only 215 kms. from Mumbai, devotees can visit the Ashram frequently and engage in various religious activities enabling their constant progress on the path of spiritual upliftment.
