    Descrição

    Tucked away in the hills of Mandangad, Ratnagiri, this is more than just a place — it’s a home for the soul.
    Here, energy healing, natural farming, and simple community living come together in harmony.

    We’re creating a living ashram — a space where people from around the world can:

    Go deeper within themselves

    Offer their time and service

    Live close to nature

    Learn and share Pranic Healing and Permaculture


    Inspired by the teachings of Grand Master Choa Kok Sui (GMCKS), we bring together ancient energy wisdom and sustainable living.

    Whether you’re a healer or simply someone who wants to live a more natural, peaceful life — if you value service, simplicity, and personal growth, you’re welcome here.

    Atma Namaste 🙏
