A Spiritual Retreat in Gaya Ji
The Sacred Bhutan Monastery
Gaya Ji is the second largest city of Bihar, India, and it is also headquarter of Gaya Ji District. Gaya Ji is situated 100 km south of Patna, the capital city of Bihar. This ancient city grew on the banks of Phalgu River (Niranjana, as mentioned in Ramayana). This place is considered holy among the Hindus, the Buddhists and the Jains. It is surrounded by small rocky hills (Mangla-Gauri, Shringa-Sthan, Ram-Shila and Brahmayoni) by three sides and the river flowing on the fourth (eastern) side. Gaya Ji derives its name from the mythological demon Gayasur (which literally means Gaya Ji the demon).
