New film produced by Kali Mandir!

A documentary film about Premanand and Sheela Trikannad, capturing their unwavering commitment to hospitality, service, and devotion that touched the lives of the thousands that they welcomed into their home for almost forty years. An incredible musician and a hidden and humble householder saint, Prem was the maternal grandson of the beloved sage Papa Swami Ramdas (1884-1963) and grew up in his ashram in Kerala. In this film, which contains archival footage as well as recent interviews, we are invited to experience the beauty of the bhajans, meditate upon the Divine Name, and contemplate the love and dedication that inspired lives and attracted saints, gurus, musicians, superstars, and devotees.

Prem and Sheela are our spiritual role models whose examples have deeply touched and continue to guide and inspire the residents of Kali Mandir.

ABOUT

Kali Mandir

Kali Mandir is a non-profit, educational and religious organization founded in 1993 dedicated to the worship of the Divine Mother Kali in the devotional tradition of Sri Ramakrishna, Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi and Swami Vivekananda. Our principle office and root-temple is known as Kali Mandir Ramakrishna Ashram. The ashram is located in Laguna Beach, California, in the sacred Laguna Canyon, two miles from the Pacific Ocean, and surrounded by the natural beauty of the Laguna Cove Wilderness Park. The spiritual heart of the ashram is the temple to Ma Dakshineswari Kali. Although located in a home on a private street in a residential neighborhood, the ashram and shrine is open to guests at scheduled times or by appointment for darshan, puja, kirtan and discourses. The ashram also includes meditation gardens, a small book & gift shop, a Hindu seminary, and a residential monastery.

A Gift For You

This video was professionally edited, color balanced and sound engineered. We are making it available free of charge during this difficult time. If you appreciate our efforts in producing more such videos and would like to contribute, you are welcome to donate to Kali Mandir.

Darshan

“The Divine Mother’s magic is ancient as life itself. She existed before gods and mortals and She will exist even after the great dissolution. Mother is pure energy in subtle form, but in times of need or just out of a desire to play, She manifests.”
