This tranquil, traditional ashram is set in a lush garden-orchard near the village of Magod in the state of Gujarat on the north-west side of India. It is a ten minute drive from the town of Valsad which is a four-hour train-ride north of Mumbai.
The picturesque 20 acre property is shaded by hundreds of mango, coconut and chickoo trees. Inaugurated as an ashram in 1999, it has since been developed to accommodate over 200 people in new serviced buildings.
It provides an ideal environment for spiritual practice with Sanskrit chanting, meditation and vedic rituals in its two temples, with Swami Nityananda often in residence when he is in India.
Telephone and e-mail services are available. Transport can be arranged to and from Mumbai.
