Swami Prabhupad, and the devotees of the Seva Ashram, we welcome you.
Our community encompasses men, women, and children of diverse nationalities and varied origins, all united in the service and glorification of the Supreme Lord.

The Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Seva Ashram
-
is located on twenty-eight acres of land amidst the rolling hills of Soquel,
California, and is dedicated to the ideal of "simple living and high
thinking." [Seva means service to the Supreme Lord and His devotees, and an
Ashram is a place where devotees live.] As the spiritual hub for an expanded
community of many families, this land has been described by Srila Govinda
Maharaj, our President Acharya, as being blessed by Lord Nityananda Prabhu.
Devotees, guests, and their children are invited to visit the Seva Ashram, participate in our special devotional programs, converse among friends, take some Prasadam [delicious vegetarian food prepared with devotion and offered with love to our Lord], or just spend a day in our quiet country setting. Visitors come from miles around to participate in our fabulous Sunday Feast, which is held every Sunday at 6:00 p.m. at the Seva Ashram. [Please see our Map for directions.]
