Caution: Though the ashram is located on the banks of the holy river Ganga, we do not allow visitors to swim in the river. The dams can release water at any unexpected time and swimmers have been known to be swept away. There are also water snakes. Not to mention dead bodies that are occasionally submerged in the river. There are wild animals in the jungle across from the ashram, including tigers, leopards, mad elephants, snakes, boars, and so on. We do not allow visitors to walk in the jungle. Please be advised that any visitor unwilling to respect the ashram's policies may be asked to leave the ashram.
