Visit YogAnga Retreat (School of Yoga And Ayurveda) at Sri Santosh Puri Ashram between Haridwar and Rishikesh in North India.
Santosh Puri Ashram is a Humble center of Yoga near Ganga River, with very little Ego around, but plenty of Love, Natural Beauty and Purity to share. We offer guidance, lectures, yoga classes all based on a special concern and love for you, in an effort to assist you in your spiritual inner journey of finding truth, light, peace and ultimately a more meaningful life.
There is no time limit on visits, but it’s best to stay for at least three weeks, three months is even better. As one former guest says “It takes a few days to arrive on all levels. If you arrive one week and have to begin thinking about leaving the next week, you have no time to simply be there.” The longer you stay, the more your participate, the more you can really dive in and the deeper your experience will be. We encourage long-term guests, as they maintain the atmosphere as well as can offer inspiration to new-comers.
The initial intention of the Ashram was not to charge for its spiritual life ideas, rather share whatever we have been given as gifts from the Divine. However over the years it has become important to create a standard for suggested donations for participation in the courses mentioned on the schedule, in order for the maintenance and development of the Ashram, the gaushala (cowshed) and its charitable endeavors like offering free stay for orphans and saints, and ultimately for offering quality accommodations and food for our aspirants/guests who come to spend time in preparation for higher teachings, to plant a seed of divine devotion and to cultivate a budding desire for liberation.
The divine is always there, waiting to be realized. A little effort from your side to BE HERE NOW in the present moment, right circumstances, holy company and a beneficial renouncement of unimportant worldliness is all what is needed.
If you have never been to an ashram before or are unsure if you are ready for such an experience, the best way is to first stay in a hotel or guesthouse in Haridwar or Rishikesh and then visit YogAnga Retreat, Santosh Puri Ashram for the day. If you like it here and we feel comfortable with you, then it is possible to actually live with us for some time.
