In 1995 Swami ji founded an Ashram at Vrindavan, where he provides a home and education for a number of young students, between the age of 12 and 20. The students learn Yoga, Meditation, and Sanskrit literature from experienced and qualified teachers. Their education and full board is free of charge. This means that their families are free of this financial pressure and the students learn and grow in a positive, loving and spiritual environment. Any interested
visitor to India, are welcome to visit and stay at the Ashram. The Ashram is very open, friendly and hospitable. The rooms are spacious, fully air conditioned and have bathroom and shower facilities. There is also a beautiful lawn and patio. Yoga classes are available whenever a group is coming for Yoga holidays. Visitors are free to spend their time as they please. They may wish to sit in the peace and tranquility of the Ashram and enjoy the wonderful energy. You can also visit Swami ji’s cave, where he spent over three and half years meditating. Here you can experience the very high loving vibration and absorb its healing qualities. You may also like to visit some of Vrindavan’s many temples, other ashrams or markets. Delicious meals are served and shared in a very loving way at the Ashram. All visitors
are welcome. However, this is an Ashram, not a hotel. We are
happy to open our doors for people who feel a connection with
the Ashram and who are interested in our projects and
activities. We do not welcome people who are related with any
sect and their manipulating activities. Once a man who was planning to visit Vrindavan did not have one single penny in his pocket and asked us if he could stay with us in our Ashram. So we invited him and he came and stayed here. He enjoyed his holiday a lot as well as we enjoyed his company here. Of course everybody knew that this man would not give any donation but we were happy to give him the opportunity to see this lovely city. But we also had to experience that some people are taking it for granted that we share everything with our guests. For example we see people who are traveling extensively through the whole world, are sleeping and eating in our Ashram for free and are spending their money generously in Vrindavan’s many shops. And in the end of their stay they are giving 10 Euro as a donation for Ashram. It is not the case that we do not appreciate small contributions. To see however that the donation for our work is less then a twentieth of what is spent on scarves or jewelry has caused some disappointment on our side. We sometimes feel that our love is taken advantage of. Many people are working here to keep the building and the garden as nice and clean as it is. Our charity projects are growing and we would like to invite more and more people to come and see what we have already achieved. But we need the donations to be able to maintain this. We are not a hotel nor are we charging anything per room per night. Even to the poorest traveler we love to give the possibility to stay here. But we would like to see appreciation also from our guests who are financially in a better situation. Please respect our feeling that we don’t want to make a minimum or a maximum price. For everyone there is another appropriate amount. Please feel free to come and visit our Ashram whenever you are in Vrindavan. In our schedule you can check if Swami Ji is here in the time of your stay.
