A small temple to the Divine Mother Kali Devi in the Catskill Mountain forest offers Archanai and Poosai at the sacred Midnight hour every Saturday. Before the poosai there will be a Public Asana Class with Chanting at 9:00 PM.  Those with devotion to Maa Kali, Babaji and Siva are welcome to share the joy of Chanting and Poosai.

Directions to Kali Temple:
Take Route 17 West from New York City. Get off at exit 105.  Make a right turn onto Route 42 North towards Woodbourne.  You will go through South Fallsburg before the town of Woodbourne.  Go through Woodbourne (a very small town) and make a sharp left turn at the second traffic light (right after the bridge).  This keeps you on Route 42 North.  Follow Rt. 42 about five miles.  Look for the sign "Welcome To Neversink" on your left and keep right.  In 1/2 mile or less, you will make a right turn onto Low Rd.  The Kali Temple is about 1/2 mile on your left. If you pass our street, you will find yourself in the town of Grahamsville.  Turn around and come back to make a left on Low Road.
 
This temple has its roots in the distant past. The great Master Kriya Babaji, more than 1200 years ago, instructed his disciple Adi Sankara to seek the Grace of Divine Mother Mukkambikai for his mission in restoring Sanatana Dharma to India. In the Twentieth century Babaji instructed His direct disciple Yogi S.A.A. Ramaiah to win the Grace of the Divine Mother for the important mission of founding International Babaji Yoga Sangam. Yogi Ramaiah's intense Spiritual practices at the Brahmanoor Kali Temple in South India led to the establishment of the Sangam. Later, in 1991, Babaji instructed Yogi Ramaiah to win the Grace of Mother Kali for the construction of this western counterpart of the famous Brahmanoor Kali Temple. 

The Temple's central peatam is blessed with a murthi of dancing Maa Kali, along with Babaji Thandava, and a rare three-dimensional Sri Chakra Yantra which is invested with the sadhana shakti of extensive tapas. Outside are murthis of Ganapathi, NagaLingam Siva, Thulasi Devi and Siddhar Karuvurar who, along with Nandiswarar, is presiding over the spiritual awakening of North America.
