The ashram in Walden, USA


This beautifully-located ashram with its panoramic views, lakes, stream, forests and fields is only a two-hour drive north of New York City yet offers a relaxing, tranquil and secluded environment at the foothills of the Shawangunk Mountains in New York State.

A 294-acre property whose perimeter can be walked in two hours, its glorious natural setting provides an ideal opportunity for spiritual renewal and growth.

The ashram is being developed so that its design, function and energy provides a perfect environment for spiritual practice including Sanskrit chanting, meditation and sacred rituals all under the guidance of the living Guru. It currently has camping accommodations, outdoor dining and will soon be able to accommodate more.

Transport can be arranged to and from New York City.
