Ganeshpuri/Nimboli

Located in Nimboli, India, Fire Mountain is nestled on the banks of the Tejassa River, near the village of Ganeshpuri. The natural hot springs of Ganeshpuri attract visitors throughout the year as does the Mahasamadhi Shrine and Temple of Sri Nityananda. .

Within  2 or 3 kilometers of Fire Mountain is the famed Devi Temple in Vajreshwari and smaller temples are found throughout the countryside. This area is also the home of natural-appearing lingams, truly the sign of a sacred destination

The region in and around Ganeshpuri has been the site of profound spiritual activity and a home to yogis for generations. It is said that Vashista, Lord Rama's Guru, held a great yagna in the Ganeshpuri area, and installed Lord Ganesha in a temple there. In more recent times, the area has given rise to the great saints and enlightened masters, Bhagawan Nityananda and Swami Muktananda.
