Ashram Relocating Plans

With the growing activities of Geeta Ashram, a need was felt to relocate the Ashram from its present location in Yannawa to a better and bigger place. Keeping this in view, 2000 sq. meters of land has already been purchased recently in Sukhumvit Soi 50 at a cost of 17 million baht. This is a more central location with better connectivity for all modes of transport. These funds have come from generous contributions of many devotees.

It is now being planned to construct a building on this land consisting of temple, prayer hall, havanshala, dinind hall, quarters for Ashram Priest and invitees from abroad and parking facilities. The estimated cost of construction is about 20 million baht at the present material costs. These funds have to be generated through donations.

Appeal for Donations

Geeta Ashram Thailand respectfully solicit generous donations for the construction of new Geeta Ashram building in Sukhumvit Soi 50 on the land purchased recently.

The names of donors contributing 200,000 baht or more will be displayed permantly in the Ashram. Each floor of the proposed 4-storey building will bear the name of the contributor who donates 2 million baht or more, engraved on a marble slab.
