◣WHERE
We are situated on top of Manikoot Mountain overlooking the Ganges River.
Your spiritual journey begins at the base of the mountain in Muladhara, where you will take a 80minute drive up to Lord Shiva's mountain until you reach your final destination, where Shiva resides, at the Sahasrara crown chakra. You must first travel through the 6 initial chakras, symbolized along your journey, at every 10minute pointe.
Once you enter the 7th chakra and approach the retreat center, you are enveloped by natural, pristine silence and crisp, pure air, unlike anywhere else in the world. The buildings are thoughtfully designed to be in alignment with nature based on Vastu Shastra, the ancient Indian science of architecture. The layout, ground preparation, space arrangement and spatial geometry are suited to support your Well-Being and enhance a lifestyle that is healthy, wealthy, happy, and prosperous.
Even though we are situated in a remote environment away from the business and external noises of the city, we are only 27km's away (16miles)(including 5km. unpaved road) from Rishikesh Town, near Nealkanth Mahadave Temple, making all your shopping needs and tourist attractions accessible.
We also practice the principle of Gift Economy and graciously accept donations for the Ashram's Green Building projects, Permaculture projects and The Hope Project- a children's charity. For more info on how you can contribute, please contact Yogi Amitram.
