The America Sevashram Sangha is an ashram located in
Jamaica, Queens. As one of forty-five international
centers under the guidance of the Bharat Sevashram
Sangha in Calcutta, it follows a tradition of providing
selfless service to humanity and the propagation of
Hinduism in the community in which it resides. Its
congregation mostly consists of Guyanese Hindus coming
from the Richmond Hill, Flushing, and Jamaica
neighborhoods nearby, although some devotees do come
from as far as New Jersey. It is currently headed by
Swami Vidyananda, a well known figure who also heads
Divya Dham and the Guyana Sevashram Sangha. Through
essay competitions, a yearly summer camp, Hindi language
classes, and an emphasis on regular visits to the
ashram, the America Sevashram Sangha promotes spiritual
awareness with an emphasis on youth. |
