Maharshi
Mehi
Ashram,
is
situated
at
Kuppaghat,
Bhagalpur,
Bihar,
INDIA
Kuppa
Ghat
(Hindi:
कुप्पाघाट)
is
a
place
located
on
the
banks
of
the
holy
river
Ganges
at
Bhagalpur,
Bihar,
India.
The
word
'Kuppa'
means
a
tunnel
or
cave,
and
'Ghat"
means
place
located
on
a
river-bank.
Accordingly,
there
is
a
cave
at
Kuppaghat
which
has
been
rendered
famous
and
immortalized
by
Maharshi
Mehi
Paramhans,
the
legendary
exponent
of
Sant
Mat.
Maharshi
Mehi
practiced
surat
shabd
yoga
or
the
Yoga
of
Inner
Sound
for
several
months
here
in
this
cave
and
later
constructed
his
Ashram
also;
several
yogis
or
spiritual
aspirants
can
still
be
seen
practicing
the
Yoga
of
Inner
Light
and
Sound
in
this
dark
cave
completely
insulated
from
the
din
and
bustle
and
brightness
of
the
outside
world.
Maharshi
Mehi
Ashram
blossomed
under
his
dynamic
leadership
to
become
the
national
Headquarters
of
Akhil
Bharatiya
Santmat-Satsang.
It
has
an
aesthetically
laid
out
garden
and
orchard
beautifully
punctuated
with
sculptures,
paintings
and
quotes
having
spiritual
significance
like
a
cottage
showing
Lord
Ram
visiting
great
female
devotee
Shabri
and
killing
of
Jatayu,
the
vulture,
at
the
hands
of
the
demon
king
Ravana.
According
to
some
unconfirmed
accounts,
Lord
Buddha
is
also
said
to
have
lived
in
this
cave
in
one
of
his
previous
births.
Maharshi
Mehi
Ashram,
Kuppaghat,
Bhagalpur
has,
over
the
years,
grown
into
a
sacred
pilgrimage
for
millions
of
followers
of
Santmat
from
India
and
abroad.
The
auspicious
occasions
of
the
birth
anniversary
of
Maharshi
Mehi
Paramhans
and
Maharshi
Santsevi
Paramhans,
the
successor
of
Maharshi
Mehi,
who
also
made
this
Ashram
his
main
camp
and
residence,
and
Guru
Purnima
the
Ashram
draw
lakhs
of
devotees
presenting
a
celebratory
environment
impregnated
with
piety.
Maharshi
Mehi
Ashram
by
the
river
side
is
an
ideal
place
for
general
tourists
as
well
who
love
to
spend
their
evenings
here.
The
ashram
hides
an
old
subterranean
passage
leading
to
various
destinations.
Kuppaghat
is,
thus,
included
among
the
"must
see"
places
in
Bhagalpur
in
all
the
guide
atlases
or
maps.
