The Ashram takes you through a spiritual voyage where one observes a life based on the principles of Yoga and Vedanta.

The modern lifestyle has brought out many physical as well as mental problems such as restlessness, depression, obesity; anxiety, etc. and these conditions can easily be altered by just changing the sedentary lifestyle which we are habituated to. The Ashram routine also inculcates the spiritual and moral values which transform the human into a superhuman.

I am keen interested to enhance my knowledge on meditation and astrology
I along with my wife visited the ashram on 28th August 2019 and stayed there for three days. The ashram is very beautiful. I was astonished by the way the students of the ashram school chanted Sanskrit slokas during the satsang and the puja of the sri yantra. Very well managed ashram with a wonderful management. Clean and enchanting environment. Enjoyed the trip.
Very beautiful ashram far from the hassle of city life, complete peace, nice rooms, pure sattvic food, natural surrounding, a perfect place for practicing meditation and yoga. The Sri yantra temple is huge and I actually feel the divine and positive energy in this temple. I meditate hours in this temple and feel the divinity within, I love this peaceful ashram will visit again.
Thanks for your kind review. We are looking for more visits to the ashram for peace and spirituality.
This is one of the beautiful ashrams I have seen in the mountain area, neat and clean ashram. The Sri Yantra temple is the best temple I have tried meditation in the Sri Yantra temple which is a transcendental experience.
