Site Map


APPROACH THE MONKS/NUNS
The ashram has a monastic order, which means that, in general, opposite genders don’t mix, and we spend a lot of time in the temple and doing service. However, we are happy to share time with our guests, so feel free to approach us at any time. During meals, the monks and nuns normally eat in a separate area.
Embracing the Ashram Experience
What to wear?
Everyone is welcome to dress as they prefer. While many of us, especially the nuns and monks, opt for modest attire, we encourage all to wear what feels comfortable. Modesty is always preferred.
“The Mark on the Forehead”
The tilak symbolizes our life’s mission: realizing the Divine through the guru’s guidance and bhakti (devotion). It signifies our unique spiritual journey in Hindu traditions.
Simplicity
Our ashram offers a touch of luxury, but it’s not a 5-star hotel. Here, we cherish the beauty of simplicity, inviting you to pause from daily indulgences and connect deeply with your inner self.
Embrace the Challenges
Ashrams are sacred spaces with intense energy, dedicated to purifying the mind and body. Your stay might evoke profound emotions and insights. Remember, it’s all part of the purification journey. Welcome each moment with an open heart.
Dive In
Whether it’s group chants, meditations, or selfless service, immerse yourself. Every act here is a step toward inner tranquility. Our cherished practice of Selfless Service offers a unique opportunity for devotional engagement.
Detox and Non-Violence
We uphold a strict code: no drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, eggs, fish, or any form of meat is allowed on the ashram premises, whether indoors or outdoors. We embrace a lifestyle that promotes purity and non-violence.
