The meaning of  "Aapo Aap" literally means "On Its Own". This name has been inspired by the Guruji's place known as "Dera Aapo Aap" ("Dera" means "Living Abode").

Originally visualized and built as a Spiritual Retreat, the Aapo Aap Building was planned following the principle of  "Live in Peace and Let Live in Peace". It is located on a hill-top, just next to the spot where a traditional fair used to be held in honour of the local village god. This local god, some people believe, was "Devta Shirgul", a renowned devotee of Lord Shiva, reputed to be having His Abode in Chudeshwar Mahadev Temple.

On Spiritual parameters, Aapo Aap gives you total energy of facing the rising sun. In its south west, there is spiritual protection of Maa Tara Devi. The terrace on which the meditation room is located, has a beautiful unobstructed view which is ideally suited for Sadhna. The mediation room with its tapering conical roof lined with wood and having big glass windows on all sides makes it an ideal place for merging individual consciousness in Cosmic Consciousness.

Aapo Aap Home Stay is located at a distance of about 10 km. from The Mall Road/City Centre & around 12 km. from Shimla Railway Station/ISBT.
