Devotees considering a visit to the Shivabalayogi ashram in Dehradun should be aware of the new rules imposed by the ashram management and prominently posted on the Shivarudrabalayogi website:
1. Security cameras have been installed inside the Ashram premises.
2. Hereafter no outside vehicles are to be allowed inside the Ashram premises other than those vehicles approved and listed by the Dehradun Ashram Administration.
3. Only medical emergencies vehicle shall be allowed for immediate medical assistance such as 108 ambulance and or any ambulance from recognized and authorized hospitals or ambulance services providers.
4. All visitors be it members/devotees or any other visitor must strictly enter their name and other details as required in the visitor's register which will be available at the main entrance gate. Failing to comply with the above, no entry will be allowed for such persons.
5. Hereafter all members, devotees and visitors to the Ashram who need to take long term/short term shelter (if more than 24 hrs) within the Ashram campus give a written application along with complete ID details to the Ashram administration (Saadhvi Ambaji) seeking Ashram permission to stay the required period. The Dehradun Ashram administration, especially Babaji reserve the Right to accept or Reject any such request application without giving any reason or explanation.
The website identifies Baba as the “Spiritual Head” of the Shivabalayogi Trust and that “[t]he Dehradun Ashram is the spiritual home of Babaji’s inspirational sadhana and Tapas, and the base from which He carries out His Guru’s Mission.”
We hope to be able to report soon that these restrictions have been lifted and the ashram will again be generally open to Shivabalayogi's devotees and to the public in general.

Is this not because of violence thats happened there on the ashram inmates by some local thugs? i read a couple of newspaper articles on it too...if this is the case then its important that proper steps like these r taken but still it safe for anyone to go there? hope we get proper updates about the situation so that devotees planning to go thee know exactly where they stand...its a bit naive to feel that only the lifting of security measures means peace...
