The Hermitages and Sanctuaries of Adidam:
Tat Sundaram


Tat Sundaram ("All Of This Is Sacred, All Of This Is Beautiful! ") is a small Sapta Na Sannyasin Hermitage located in northern California. Its primary purpose is to provide a private circumstance for Avatar Adi Da and the members of the Ruchira Sannyasin Order.

The Tat Sundaram Hermitage is supported by devotees at the nearby Adidam North Coast Center, also known as "Walk About Joy". Over the past many years, Walk About Joy has gone through a total transformation from an old logger's lodge to a fully functioning Ashram facility that can support the devotees who live and serve at Tat Sundaram.
