Rishikesh (Northern India)

Visiting the Ashram

Spiritual seekers are most welcome to visit the Ashram. We have designed the daily schedule and seasonal programmes to make the Ashram available as much as possible to visitors, while respecting the silence and solitude of the resident monastic community.

Please note: We kindly remind you that we cannot accept unplanned visits outside of the times specified below. Also, due to the limited number of rooms at Ajatananda Ashram, which are reserved for full-time members of our monastic community, we are not able to provide accommodation for visitors, participants or volunteers. Since we receive a large number of requests for accommodation, we kindly ask you to consider this before contacting us. We appreciate your understanding.

Opening Times

During its opening seasons in February-April and October-November, the Ashram opens its doors every day (except Thursdays and Fridays) at the following times:

16:00 – 17:30 for Open Satsangs
19:00 – 19:45 for Evening Meditation

Aside from these daily activities, the ashram also hosts periodic non-residential Satsang Retreats and other events. See the Calendar for more information.

Find Us

Ajatananda Ashram is located on the bank of the Ganges in Tapovan, which is about 4 kilometres northeast of Rishikesh in the district of Tehri-Garhwal (Uttarakhand). The ashram is a 5-minute walk from the Laxman Jhula bridge (follow the upper path behind the German Bakery, which overlooks the Ganges). The Ashram is upstream, at the very end of the path, which turns left towards the small village.

These Satsangs are coordinated by the Ashram Team and ‘Les Amis d’Ajatananda Ashram’, in partnership with Eveil Conscience, and will take place in French, with simultaneous translation into English. You will therefore be able to listen and see Swamiji in full screen and follow his teaching which will be based on a text from the Advaita tradition and followed, as in every Satsang, by a question and answer session.

Please note! In order to participate, your registration is mandatory. Please click on the ‘Register Here’ button below the description of the event to access the registration form.

To support the teaching of Swamiji and the Ajatananda Ashram, we will maintain the principle of conscious donation. If you wish to do so, you will be able to make your donation at the time of your registration.

The Zoom link, guidelines for the meeting and the text that will be commented on by Swamiji will be sent to you the day before the event. We suggest you either print the text or display it on an additional device during the Satsangs.

We invite you to keep your camera on and display your first and last name as your username for the duration of each Satsang as a sign of your full participation. Please kindly read our Additional Guidelines here.
