Dihika Ashram was a small spiritual site and school established in Dihika, West Bengal, India, by Paramahansa Yogananda in March 1917 as a yoga‑based residential school and early organized center of his work.[1] It served as the initial location where Yogananda combined education with spiritual training, and it laid the foundation for what later became the Yogoda Satsanga Society of India.[1]
In March 1917 Paramahansa Yogananda founded a residential school for boys in Dihika that integrated formal education with yoga training and spiritual ideals.[1] The school was initially located in an estate bungalow in the hamlet of Dihika, with only a few teachers and a small group of students, and was known as Yogoda Satsanga Brahmacharya Vidyalaya.[1] In 1918 the growing school was relocated to Ranchi, where it continued to develop and became a central site for the expanding Yogoda Satsanga Society of India.[1]
