Ashramam

by Narayana Guru

Summary

The Advaita Asram at Aluva was founded in 1913. Guru directed some of his advocate-disciples to frame a byelaw for the proper running of the asram, but they failed to do so. Finally, Guru himself said "We can do it," and then he wrote this piece in Sanskrit in Anustup metre.
