Situated on the banks of Holy Ganges, and very close to the Triveni Sangam (Tri-junction) of rivers Ganga and Yamuna, Jhunsi Ashram is the centre of excellence, and the operational international headquarters of Sadguru Sadafaldeo Vihangam Yoga Sansthan. Rich in spiritual energies, surrounded by lush greenery and echoed by the sound of chirping birds and river waves, this 10-acre campus is a paradise for spiritual seekers. His Holiness Shri Sadguru Sadafaldeo Ji Maharaj meditated in this holy place from year 1921 onwards. He used to call it His University in spiritual sense. This is where he was honored with the supreme authority of the Sadguru by the Eternal Sadguru. He renounced His body in this very campus while sitting in Yogic posture and then spoke from the void (Akash Vani) for 15 min in the presence of many Disciples. Close to this campus is His Samadhi.
The campus is equipped with all modern amenities, including 24 hours power supply and wifi spots.
