After it was established by Yadunandan Sharma, at the instruction of Swami Sahajanand Saraswati in 1933, it saw a large number of freedom fighters visiting. In 1935, Jawaharlal Nehru came to the Ashram and donated a bag of 450 silver coins to the Deen Bandhu Library established by Amarnath Diwan. The library was subsequently renamed after Nehru's wife Kamala to Kamala Pustakalaya. Nothing remains of the library and other original ashram. However, the site of the ashram is still called the Ashram and a new building in a different spot at the site is now referred to as the Ashram. This building has housed a school at various times in the past decades.
