Prayer, both individual and congregational, was for Gandhiji an essential aspect of Ashramic life. “When it is night for all others beings, the disciplined soul is awake.” This injunction of the Bhagvad Gita was the ideal of Ashramic life. Congregational prayers were held every morning and evening at this place. All religious prayers from the Ashram Bhajanavali were performed daily. Gandhiji gave his “Discourses on the Gita” at this site.
