During the weekend of 19-20 November 2005, exactly one year after signing the contract for the premises, joyful celebrations took place for the opening of the new Ashram in Vienna: GURUJI ASHRAM. This newest ashram is named after His Holiness Hindu Dharmsamrat Paramhans Sri Swami Madhavanandaji – respectfully known as Holy Guruji. Hohenberger welcomed "Yoga in Daily Life" in the district and pointed out that this newest and largest yoga centre in Vienna is an improvement of the neighbourhood and of the whole district.

Our dear Sadhvi Shanti was in India with Swamiji and a small group of international disciples. She sent us this report from ceremonies for the Diwali festival and the second anniversary of Holy Guruji’s Mahasamadhi in Nipal and Jadan Ashrams.

On the auspicious day of Diwali (November 1st 2005) and the anniversary of Sri Deep Narayan Mahaprabhuji, a 3.5 by 5 meters photo of His Holiness Paramhans Swami Madhavanandaji (Holy Guruji) was carefully lifted into place at Holy Guruji’s Samadhi at the Om Ashram in Jadan/India. The photo is so large one can actually see it from the main gate of the Ashram.
