You are welcome to come and stay at Shankar Prasad as a guest to develop your sadhana (spiritual practice). All visitors are welcome to participate fully in the ashram activities, including meal time (three vegetarian meals a day, tea, coffee and herbal drinks). Please contact us at regarding the rates for each type of stay. 
 Long-term stays: We are a small community living and progressing together in our spiritual pursuits. We are open to people who are interested in staying at the ashram long-term (all ages), serving wherever needed, or as general office/homestay manager, or organic farm manager and to head community projects (dog sterilization, waste management, women empowerment etc). Minimum stay 3 months. “Soft Landing in India” stay: We offer first timers to India a “Soft Landing in India” program in which we will give an introduction to getting around safely and local culture and norms and suggest best places to visit and stay. You will receive a bit of extra looking after to ensure you adjust quite well to the buzzing Indian culture. Retreats: We have had several retreats here at Shankar Prasad, and open our space to short and long-term retreat packages for groups interested in expanding their knowledge of yoga meditation techniques. We can tailor make course offerings based on your personal or group needs and interests. “Since ancient times the aim of an ashram was not just to provide a place of retreat and relaxation, but also to create a place where people live and work together. Sometimes it is believed that spiritual growth takes place only through meditation, but this is not correct. When you practice meditation together with karma yoga, growth is very fast. In the ashram, you do not meditate all day, but you work all day. You learn to see divine grace while caring for the cows, working as a carpenter, in the kitchen cooking or cutting the vegetables, while checking the bank statement or caring for the sick. By the time the sun rises the ashram is bustling with activity and when the sun sets, still it is active. The residents of the ashram live a very simple life and visitors and guests have to learn to adapt to this simplicity.” - Swami Satyananda Please email us for further details: |
