Kanva Muni was a sage in the story of Shakunala and Dushyant, as written by that ancient bard, Kalidas. What if it was based on a real sage? This ashram is next to some ancient unexplored caves (local myths keep people away - apparently, divine snakes guard the inner sanctorum), and was the place where Chandrakiran Maharaj, a sage of the twentieth century, made his base.
You cannot simply visit this place and come back unmoved. Vibrates with the energies of unseen forces...
