The Satyachetana Silver City Ashram served as Swamiji’s first base in America, from 1995. It was initially the residence of Swami Pooja, who was Swamiji’s first initiated disciple and brought him to America. From there, the movement in America was born. In October 2012, the meditation hall and two properties were officially inaugurated as Silver City Ashram.[nggallery id=7]
