THE CONCEPT of Harihar Ashram is the brain child of Ambar Roy. The word ‘ambar’ means sky (Gagan). So Ambar Roy, a professionally qualified senior citizen with ample knowledge of life thought of setting-up the ashram close to nature. After all human beings are a product of nature, no one can deny that fact.

‘Hari’ means ‘Vishnu’ and ‘Hara’ stands for Shiva. So he selected the name ‘Harihar’. Almighty God in the form of Vishnu, maintains this beautiful world and all the living creations. Similarly, the Almighty God in the form of ‘Shiva’, absorbs all the sins of human-beings and also absorbs the tiredness of human beings. Vishnu provides food, happiness and a living space and Shiva takes care of your tiredness and sins.

After completion of all worldly duties with responsibility as a human being, one should relax and submit himself/herself to the Almighty. For attaining this objective one may join an ashram. With this thought in mind, the founder members selected this picturesque site.

After the completion of all duties with responsibility what best can a human being think of but ‘purna vairaggya’. To achieve ‘purna vairaggya’, one should also practice all his/her desires in life to see that he/she is then fit for his/her ‘purna vairaggya’.

This state of mind can only be achieved in an ashram/dharamsala. Hence, to attain this objective this ashram was set up in Konarak road near Puri and named ‘Harihar Ashram’.
