Kanvashram is a historically significant place located in Uttarakhand, India. It is believed to be the hermitage where the sage Kanva performed his austerities and penance. Kanva is mentioned in ancient Hindu scriptures like the Mahabharata and the Ramayana. The hermitage is situated in the picturesque surroundings of the Shivalik range of the Himalayas, near the village of Kotdwar. It is believed that Lord Rama's stepmother, Queen Kaikeyi, spent her time in exile at Kanvashram along with her son Bharata. According to the Ramayana, Bharata later became the ruler of Ayodhya during Rama's exile. Kanvashram holds religious and cultural significance for Hindu pilgrims and devotees. The tranquil surroundings and natural beauty of the area attract visitors seeking solace and spiritual retreat. The hermitage is often visited by tourists and spiritual seekers who wish to experience the peaceful ambiance and connect with the ancient traditions associated with Kanvashram. The site is also known for its association with meditation and yoga. Many people visit Kanvashram to practice meditation, seek spiritual guidance, or simply immerse themselves in the serene atmosphere.

For a place advertised as being the birthplace of Samrat Bharat, after whom the country gets its name, it was disappointing, a picture of neglect. A local citizens committee has taken pains to at least create a shrine of sorts with statues depicting the wedding of Puruvamsh Samrat Dushyant and Shakuntala, presided over by Maharshi Kanva, and a statue of Bharat as a child playing with a Tiger, these have been squeezed into a caged area that's central to the shrine. The shrine itself lies in the compound of an old sanyasi Baba, now deceased, and his cottage there is in ruins. Still, the place is significant to anyone with a sense of history, and a mandatory tirtha to every Hindu who understands this! To me personally, it is the most significant historical shrine marking the birthplace of the emperor after whom our country is named! Who is responsible for this neglect? And what can we do about it?

जैसा की मैने पढ़ा और कण्वाश्रम में जा का देखा - कण्वाश्रम उत्तराखण्ड स्थित एक प्रसिद्ध धार्मिक स्थान है। गढ़वाल जनपद में कोटद्वार से 14 कि.मी. की दूरी पर शिवालिक पर्वत श्रेणी के पाद प्रदेश में हेमकूट और मणिकूट पर्वतों की गोद में स्तिथ 'कण्वाश्रम' ऐतिहासिक तथा पुरातात्विक दृष्टि से अत्यंत महत्त्वपूर्ण पर्यटन स्थल है। माना जाता है कि यही कण्व ऋषि का आश्रम था। कण्वाश्रम मालनी नदी के तट पर आज से लगभग 4000 वर्ष दीतट स्तिथ था । इसे “कण्वाश्रम या कण्व का आश्रम” भी कहते थे। ये आज की परिभाषा मे एक विश्वविद्दालय या शिक्षा का आध्यात्मिक केन्द्र था जहां दस सहष्त्र विद्धार्थी ऋषी कण्व की देख रेख मे शिक्षा ग्रहण करते थे। महर्षि कण्व की कर्मस्थली के साथ ही चक्रवर्ती सम्राट भरत की जन्मस्थली है 'कण्वाश्रम'। सम्राट भरत, जिनके नाम पर देश का नाम 'भारत' पड़ा,कभी बदरी-केदार धाम की यात्रा कण्वाश्रम से शुरू होती थी, लेकिन आज महर्षि कण्व की तपस्थली और चक्रवर्ती सम्राट भरत की जन्मस्थली कण्वाश्रम गुमानामी में है. अपनी पहचान का मोहताज बना ऐतिहासिक कण्वाश्रम का अतीत उतना ही स्वर्णिम था. यही कारण था कि एक समय में कण्वाश्रम का महत्त्व कुम्भनगरी हरिद्धार से भी कहीं ज़्यादा हुआ करता था. दरअसल हिन्दुओं के पवित्र तीर्थ कहे जाने वाले बदरी और केदार की तीर्थ यात्रा इसी कण्वाश्रम से शुरू हुआ करती थी. यहीं मालिनी नदी के किनारे बसे कण्वाश्रम में तीर्थ श्रद्धालुओं का महाकुम्भ भी हुआ करता था. महर्षि कण्व की तपस्थली और देश के नामदेव चक्रवर्ती सम्राट भरत की जन्मस्थली कण्वाश्रम आज भले ही गुमनामी के साये में हो, लेकिन इसका अतीत उतना ही स्वर्णिम था.हर वर्ष 'बसंत पंचमी' के अवसर पर कण्वाश्रम में तीन दिन तक मेला चलता है। महाकवि कालिदास द्वारा रचित 'अभिज्ञान शाकुन्तलम' में कण्वाश्रम का जिस तरह से जिक्र मिलता है, वे स्थल आज भी वैसे ही देखे जा सकते हैं। कण्वाश्रम बहुत ही शांत , प्राकृतिक और मनोरम स्थल है। जहा प्राकृतिक सौंदर्य भरपूर है. यहाँ पहुंच कर आत्मिक शान्ति मिलती है. वर्ष के किसी भी समय आप यहाँ जा सकते है. केवल मानसून मौसम में न जाए। आसपास और भी बहुत जायदा तो नहीं कुछ और स्थल है जहा आप घूम सकते है। कोटद्वार से कण्वाश्रम जाने के लिए यातायात के साधन सिमित है इस लिए मेरे सुझाव है की आपने यातायात के साधन से जाना उचित होगा। पक्षी प्रेमियों के लिए यह जगह बहुत ही उपयुक्त है.
