    Special facilities for Group arrivals
  • It has been our experience that guests who are part of groups are not aware of the facilities available in the Ashram. To make sure that you have a fulfilling stay here, please check with the Ashram staff and acquaint yourself about the possibilites that you might want to explore while you are here.
  • All activities of the Ashram are inspired and guided by the life-embracing spiritual philosophy of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother. The philosophy can help you live a life full of joy and peace, a life that gives you a sense of fulfillment.
  • We have scholars living in the Ashram who will be happy to present this philosophy to you, in a fashion that is tailor-made for your group, in a short period of an hour or two at a time that suits you. Therefore, when you arrive at the Ashram, check with the staff at the reception desk who can assist you.
  • We wish that when you go back, you carry with yourself a bundle of sweet memories along with knowledge and wisdom that can help you deal better with stress, which is a sorrounding problem of our times.
