Old Rasodu
This sacred kitchen holds a special place in the history of the mandir. It is here that Brahmaswarup Shastriji Maharaj, Brahmaswarup Yogiji Maharaj, and Brahmaswarup Pramukh Swami Maharaj lovingly partook of meals on numerous occasions. As the main kitchen serving the entire campus, it was the heart of countless festivals and celebrations, where devotees and visitors alike were served sanctified prasad.
This sacred space was also sanctified by the selfless seva of Brahmaswarup Mahant Swami Maharaj, who lovingly prepared meals and cleaned utensils here, exemplifying the ideals of humility and service.
Filled with cherished memories of seva, devotion, and fellowship, this historic kitchen continues to inspire all who visit, reflecting the timeless values embodied by the Guru Parampara.
Prasadik Chakki Stone
During the construction of this mandir, one of the most arduous tasks was mixing quick lime (chuno). It was a physically demanding seva. Despite being very young, Brahmaswarup Pramukh Swami Maharaj joyfully and lovingly participated in this humble service, using a traditional stone wheel known as the chakki to mix the quick lime. Even today, this sanctified chakki stone stands as a testament to the devotion, humility, and spirit of selfless service of Brahmaswarup Pramukh Swami Maharaj.
Suvarna Tula Smruti Chhatri
This is the sacred site where devotees of BAPS performed the Suvarna Tula of Brahmaswarup Shastriji Maharaj in 1949, commemorating his 85th birth anniversary. This historic occasion reflected the devotees' profound devotion, reverence, and gratitude towards their revered Guru. Today, a white marble chhatri stands at this very spot, preserving the memory of this sacred occasion and serving as a reminder of this historic festival.
Prasadik Neem Trees
Several neem trees surrounding the mandir have stood here since the time of Brahmaswarup Shastriji Maharaj. Each morning, Shastriji Maharaj would bathe near these trees so that the water used for his snan would also nourish them, reflecting his thoughtful practice of conserving water and ensuring its optimum use. Sanctified by his daily presence and touch, these neem trees continue to stand as living witnesses to his simplicity, compassion, and reverence for nature.
