[2] Yajnavalkya Ashram is situated at Jagban village of Madhubani district in Mithila region of Bihar.

Yajnavalkya performed his tough penance to the Lord Sun ( Surya Narayan ) for the enlightenment of his forgotten knowledge of Yajurveda for many days here.

He appeared to him in the form of enormous light energy and enlightened Yajnavalkya with the lost knowledge of Yajurveda by the help of the Goddess Sarswati.

It is believed that the Goddess Sarswati entered in the body of Yajnavalkya in the form of energy to enlighten him with the knowledge of Yajurveda.

Once there was a famine in the Himalayan valley and Yajnavalkya gave 200 ounces of gold to his disciple Brahmadutta to buy grains and other necessities and to take physicians with him to the affected area and render help.

The contributions of Yajnavalkya in Vedic tradition and philosophies are remembered and discussed in the cultural program of the Mahotsava.
