Story of Iraivan Temple

Gurudeva stressed many times that Iraivan will be a proper, pure, quiet place where devotees can go within themselves through the practice of raja yoga and daily sadhanas—the way Rishikesh once was. Located in the heart of a traditional Hindu monastery complex reminiscent of ancient mathas and aadheenams of India, Iraivan is more than a temple; it is a pilgrimage destination, a place of sadhana and spiritual rejuvenation. Iraivan Temple is a living edifice that brings ancient tradition into the 21st century, a stable anchor sustaining and strengthening Hindu dharma for our children, their children and generations to come.
