Tapasyadham emerging as a tourist destination

Jhapa: The newly constructed Tapasyadham in Dhulabari, Mechinagar–10, has emerged as a new destination for spiritual tourism. The site has been developed at Lilabasti, approximately 1.5 kilometers north of the Dhulabari junction along the East-West Highway, at a cost of NPR 130 million by the Brahma Kumaris Rajyoga Service Center.

The ashram has been built on five kattha of land generously donated free of cost by Nepali Congress Vice President Vishwaprakash Sharma and his brother Rajyaprakash Sharma, in memory of their late parents, Parashuram Sharma and Savitra Devi.

According to Anusha Didi, head of the Brahma Kumaris Rajyoga Service Center in Dhulabari and coordinator of the Tapasyadham, the facility includes a meditation hall, a tapasya (spiritual practice) area, a memorial dedicated to Prajapita Brahma Baba, residential quarters, and a seminar hall.

She stated that the site has been developed to facilitate both domestic and international visitors seeking to reduce mental stress and attain spiritual knowledge through Rajyoga and meditation.

The ashram is expected to attract spiritual tourists from both Nepal and India, as it features replicas of significant structures found at the international headquarters of the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University in Mount Abu, Rajasthan, India.

Rajyogini Usha Didi from Mount Abu and Dr. Raj Didi, head of Brahma Kumaris Rajyoga Service Nepal, recently visited and observed the Tapasyadham.

Vice President Sharma, who is also among the land donors, stated that the land was contributed with the objective of preserving the memory of his parents and promoting peace by spreading positive energy in society.
