About the ashram
To light the lamp of Vedic knowledge and Righteousness in as many hearts as possible...
'Param Praman Darshan' was established in the year 2002 on the banks of River Paar in the Valsad District of Gujarat, as a centre for the study and propagation of the Vedic scriptures. In keeping with the vision of some young and enthusiastic Swamis and Swaminis, the darshanalaya offers seekers an opportunity to study the traditional teachings of Vedanta through their mother tongue, Gujarati.
Modelled after the ancient system of gurukula learning, students come here to live with the teachers for a systematic and thorough study of the Vedic scriptures. The ashram offers long term courses in Vedanta in addition to regular camps and other refreshing programs throughout the year. The ashram serves as an ideal retreat centre with all modern amenities, luxurious plantations, scenic beauty and above all sanctity and serenity.
