About Chicago Ashram Located at Aurora, Illinois
|
The Chicago chapter of the Bharat Sevashram Sangha was founded by Swami Purnatmanandaji. 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 (formerly a church) in a quiet neighborhood in the historic town of Aurora in the summer of 2007.
