  • Description

    Description

    The idea of the project is to create a safe space for people to come and heal via Yoga specifically bhakti - singing mantras and surrendering to Divine.

    To do KIRTANS - day and night - to create a community of like minded individuals to share the benefits of bhakti and singing/chanting mantras.

    I'm a sivanada registered yoga teacher and have been practicing over 13 years in Auroville and this has been my dream project since long.

    Now, I've purchased a land near Auroville and inviting volunteers to help create a place for yoga and healing/ meditation purposes.

    It's a charitable place intended not to make money but to help and support people who are undergoing day to day stress or major traumas to give them community support.
    We also intend to do be self sufficient and grow our own food in the land using organic farming techniques, no chemicals at all !!

    So if you're inclined towards bhakti yoga or singing mantras or a yoga teacher in general for drop in classes or someone who can help in construction of huts or an artist to visualise place or contribute in any way or feel a calling please join in

    Food and accommodation provided and relaxed flexible helping hours.

    Peace and om shanti om
