May 6 | In the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand, the Kainchi Dham is a small temple complex on the Kosi riverbanks.

During the town hall meeting that took place this past week, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg informed Prime Minister Narendra Modi that Steve Jobs had recommended that he go to Neem Karoli Baba’s (Maharajji’s) ashram in Kainchi. This brought the location into the spotlight.

At a difficult time for both him and Facebook, Zuckerberg visited the ashram. The Facebook founder was only scheduled to remain here for one day and had only brought a book with him. Instead, he stayed for two days.

Together with his friend Dan Kottke, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs traveled to the ashram to meet Neem Karoli Baba. However, Baba had passed away prior to his arrival, so he was unable to meet him.
