Our sacred beginning
A divine call carried from the Himalayas to Houston.
In Fall 2019, at Kainchi Dham near Nainital, Rigveda Acharya Bibhudutta Mishra completed an extraordinary eight-hour Sundarkand recitation from the Valmiki Ramayana while remaining in a single posture.
From that sacred experience emerged a clear sankalp: to bring Hanuman Ji’s love, devotion, and strength to Houston. Devotees gathered around that purpose, forming a community rooted in prayer, seva, and the timeless inspiration of Neem Karoli Baba Maharaj Ji.
“Bring Hanuman Ji’s love, devotion, and strength to Houston.”
