Though I too am impressed with the lectures of Sawami Rama and am contemplating spending some time there. The ashram looks good. I have been visiting Rishikesh regularly over the last few months in search of self realisation, spirituality. I have been staying in main Rishikesh near Ram Jhula in Yog Niketan Ashram. I feel better there as the feeling is different when you go near the ganges or stay in the ashram complex. The food and routine in all these ashrams is made to meet the requirement of a disciplined life, simple living and simple eating. All these are part of Yogic philosophy. As Swami Rama explained that you cannot just start doing meditation, you need to understand what is meditation and prepare yourself to reach the final stages of meditation. Yoga is a scientific philosophy. Rishikesh has amazing positive energy and if you are mentally prepared and understand then you will be able to experience it.shivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11975157126235320562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4277020627848966799.post-49790904043261331182016-05-01T23:00:35.879+05:302016-05-01T23:00:35.879+05:30The ashram is the most beautiful, relaxing and cal...The ashram is the most beautiful, relaxing and calming place; full of lush greenery and divine silence.

Do you have any insight to the differences between these? The non-initiate program is in August, but it may work better for me to go later when there aren't offering a non-initiate program. <br />Have you also heard anything about their Science of Breath program? <br />Thanks so much!

It's the one in the Seema Dental College area.

Sadhana Mandir or Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama? Well, both ashram don't look that nice from the outside but from the inside they are very beautiful. Swami Jnaneswara teaches at Sadhana Mandir.

...Marco, first of all – thanks for this great post!<br /><br />I've been around Swami Rama ashram just today and I must say it doesn't look nice from the outside at all. couldn't tell if it's still functioning.<br /><br />A very good friend of mine, Kiran, is the disciple of Swami Jnaneswara who inturn is the disciple of Swami Rama. I must acknowledge the whole Swami Rama crowd is extremely intelligent and hold some deep insights into philosophy and stuff.<br /><br />The other day I read a commentary on the Yoga Sutras by Swami Jnaneswara at his website, http://swamij.com . Now, that's what I call brevity and deep insight!<br /><br />Should anyone need a neat explanation of the yoga sutras, head straight to swamij.com .

But in February-March there is going to be a special event and the ashram is full booked so I suggest you contact them in advance and give them your dates to make sure that they will have space when you are planning to be there.<br /><br />I guess you could also bring your boys at the Sivananda ashram in Madurai. They have a few rooms with two or four beds that you could use if you don't want to stay in the dorms but you'll need to contact them in advance.<br /><br />If you are going to Mysore you'll need to find your own apartment cause they don't offer accomodation but they can help you find an apartment. the KPAYJI is not an ashram, you only go to the shala for the ashtanga yoga classes and the rest of the day you are on your own. <br /><br />I hope this helps, good luck<br />namaste :-)<br /><br /> Marco Pinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08506762392758342908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4277020627848966799.post-89111942173645557462012-11-09T14:25:56.756+05:302012-11-09T14:25:56.756+05:30Hy Marco!Do they welcome benevolat .;would i be ab...Hy Marco!Do they welcome benevolat .;would i be able to stay overthere with my 2 boys ;;I plan to get to India by Februrary ..Not sure yet wher i ll stay i wanna get a training either At the Pattabhis Jois shala in mYsore or the sivananda one in Madurai as the one in Uttarkashi answered me they have a such small structure that they will not be able to accept my boys while i ll be at the training .;thanks for sharing your experience .Could you advise me with the visai need to apply as i wanna stay at least 9 month to one year Thanks a lot .Namaste Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4277020627848966799.post-74592605908076522332012-07-25T14:20:48.272+05:302012-07-25T14:20:48.272+05:30Hi Ekadashi, thanks for your comment.

For Indian Nationals I think it was some where around 600 rupees per day and for western countries around USD30. For other developing countries they have a different rate. The price includes accommodation, lodging, food and the open yoga and meditation classes. To get the right rate for you I suggest you contact them directlyMarco Pinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08506762392758342908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4277020627848966799.post-21629767068229348572012-07-25T02:31:27.167+05:302012-07-25T02:31:27.167+05:30Namaste!
