Forest of Enlightenment
Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA
Sambodharanya is the 33-acre pristine forest—embodiment of our ashram deity Shiva-Shakti, and the abode of Karya Siddhi Hanuman. Our Shiva mandap is designed in solid granite stone by S. Nandakumar, according to the scriptural injunctions, turning a mystic black in the wet season. In 2024 the prana pratishtha was performed for Shiva and Hanuman, creating a container of lasting energy that the local community can benefit from. Our temples are open for all from 8:30AM–8:30PM, where the devotee has direct access to the deity, allowed to worship in their own way. Contact us for more info and to schedule a puja or homa.
