Location and history

Bihar Yoga Bharati is located at Ganga Darshan in Munger, Bihar, 175 km from Patna, the state capital, and 500 km from Calcutta. Ganga Darshan is situated on a hill which commands a majestic view of Mother Ganga as she sweeps through green paddies, fertilizing, energizing and purifying the surrounding areas. The river Ganga is the symbol of yoga, the soul's journey to unite again with the supreme.

The campus itself is located on an historical energy centre, Karna Chaura, now named Ganga Darshan, which is spread over an area of 5.5 hectares

Even before the establishment of Ganga Darshan, this hill was steeped in spiritual lore. Previously known as Karna Chaura, it was the seat of Danaveer Mahayogi Karna of Mahabharata fame. Bihar's soil has been touched by the feet of Gautama Buddha, Mahavir and here Mother Ganga herself bathed and caressed the shining bodies of Rama and other holy ones.

'Bihar' comes from the word vihara, which means 'monastery'; it also means 'to roam joyfully', and indeed Bihar was once a place where many sadhus and saints roamed, immersed in spiritual consciousness.
