The building design
From the moment you arrive here, you know you're somewhere special. We have designed the property to be a typical India farm property, with a year old garden with various fruit tree and flowering plant. An opportunity to visit the villages around and experience their life style, this it self will help us to tap into our simple nature. The happy nature, filled with love and grace.
Accommodation
Clean, simple, elegant and very specious rooms with students in mind rather then holiday makers, and not forgetting westerners requirements. In short it is not a typical India ashram accommodation facility, with comfortable natural beds, and fresh linen, all 100 % cotton material used.

En suites have showers and large baths, big enough for two to four persons.
Guest facilities
Comfort, and rest are the priorities here, so we are equipped with lots of
books, magazines, music, and quiet corners for a good read or a chat with
friends. There are no TVs or phones (except in the office)
.
We have a large (40’ x 40’) meditation Hall, which is very cool, open all day.
Dining and Meals
Fresh healthy food is obviously a key element of natural health - but don't take
that for bland, dull meals, but offer the full ray of tasteful food as required
by Ayurvedic medicine. Our menus are a combination of high quality fresh
vegetable and grains, some from our organic garden and others from local
suppliers. We have a pot of chai in the kitchen brewing all the time,
spring-water. Special diets can be catered for on request. All food is
supervised by Sri Param who was 4 star rated chef for many successive years in
Australia in the mid 80s. All guests are required to participate in preparation
of food, as part of the program.
All meals are served informally, and sometimes with many local village kids, so
that you also get a taste of village life in India.
Sample menu during the program, with daily new menu.
As we do not use chili in the food, it suite all
western pallet both children and adults, yet maintaining the Ayurvedic
requirements. We recommend parents to bring their children to the training. We
do cook dishes such as pasta and pancakes for the kids. As we only charge
parents a nominal sum for kids, all extra requirements have to be met by the
parents.
Breakfast:
Freshly-made fruit juice – Orange or apple, carrot, self made and served,
muesli, cereals, yogurts
Chai, toast, jams or fresh fruit
Lunch:
Fresh fruit platter
Dinner:
Beetroot with fresh coconut done in lightly in a gentle spicy sauce
Potato, Tomato and eggplant cooked in spicy cream of tamarind sauce served on a
bed of red rice
Yogurt and fresh fruit
Range of herbal teas, black teas and Chai (India spiced tea) is available all
day. Although we do not encourage too much blank tea, we still have it
available.
During the first three month, we see the program as a preparation ground to help
all to gradually progress into serious sadhana. Tantra shastra take human and
the world as they are and not as what they should be. It take into consideration
his or her totality and all parts of the being is given their due share in the
sadhana. Humans are considered as the offspring of earth and Heaven, matter and
spirit.
The garden and the surrounding
As the garden is only one year, all plants are young, yet colorful year round -
the surrounding area is full of native birds and the main feature is beautiful
peacocks. At night, the stars are a rich blanket with two roof areas where one
can retreat to bath in the moon light.
We have designed the accommodation to be both spacious and neat,
bigger then the average sizes of room enjoyed in the west. Each room is 20"x20'
which is rather large, and spacious, big enough to house 6 people, yet we only
house 3 to a room. We have 1 bunk bed, and one single in each room.
We have built a large bath, so that when the temperature is high, 12 people can
sit in the bath and enjoy a cool lecture.
This will give you an idea as to how the bathroom look like, a very huge bath and western toilets. It is also rather spacious, clean and neat.
We provide space on the roof of the buildings for sun tanning, or just to sleep under the stars.
