Special Note

Dear Brother/Sister,

This meditation center is a nonprofit organization, and our main goal is to help you realize that it’s simple to live in the basics of life. (For instance, public transportation)

Therefore, we are very grateful to our guests who travel to the ashram from their destination using public transportation. Beginning with the start of your journey to the ashram, you begin to learn or realize who you are. At last, always try to take a tuk-tuk from Katuwana if it is not very easy to get lost in the village.(If not, you lose the best part of your self-realization)

Frequently Asked Questions 

This meditation center is a non-profit organization. Our main concept is to help you realize yourself. The journey itself becomes part of your experience when you embrace simple living, such as using public transport.

We encourage visitors to use public transport to reach the ashram. For the final stretch (less than 2 km), we recommend walking or taking a tuk-tuk (negotiate the price before get in to the Tuk Tuk ???? don’t become ???? to them)due to the following reasons:

  1. The road is challenging for new cars, especially in rainy conditions.
