What is now Geeta Temple Ashram started quite simply in a rented basement apartment in Sunnyside, Queens. Swami Jagdishwaranand first met with other members of New York’s Indian community in the spring of 1971 to discuss opening a center of spiritual teaching, with the result that Geeta Ashram was legally incorporated that June. The five trustees came from various regions of India, which helped to establish a heterogeneous outlook. The ashram was named in honor of a group of affiliated temples throughout India, with which the Swami has continued his close association since coming to the country.
The great visionary Poojaya Maharajshree Vidhyanandji after he got enlightened at Karnali Cave came out with the intention of spreading the message of Shreemad Bhagvad Gita for benefit of the masses all over. His modus operandi was to open and operate branches of Gita Mandir in pivotal centers, since his earlier practice of moving from one village to another by himself, sometime by foot, was tedious and time consuming. By spreading through branches not only preaching, other basic needs of people were taken into consideration like medical needs, educational needs and food & accommodation. In short his aim was to solve the problems faced by the people and thus making them happy and contented, so that the message will take root in them easily. It is rightly said – “Great things are not done by impulse but by series of small things brought together.”
