Information Related To Ashram
When visiting the international headquarters of International Association for Scientific Spiritualism (IASS) at Badari Narayan Sevagram, you will find it near an ancient Indian village quietly snuggled on a narrow lane surrounded by sugar cane and wheat fields. Its 5-acre campus is lush with lots of beautiful blooming flowers, velvet green grass as well as organically grown fruits and vegetables. The campus is very quiet, with only a distant hum of traffic from the nearby road. Two locations are provided for your meditation, which includes the new Samadhi shrine where the ashes of His Divine Grace Yogiji lie and a small mud hut with a thatched roof.
Since the ashram is relatively new with its initial construction beginning in 1994, you will find that all buildings are well maintained and include both male and female dormitories, some guest cottages with all western conveniences and several guest rooms with detached Indian style bathrooms.
If you are looking for a quiet place away from the crowds and the day to day hectic lifestyle, this is the place you must visit. It is most definitely conducive for spending time in meditation and silence.
Unlike most ashrams, families live and serve here. There is a playground for children, which is far enough away from the meditation areas that there is never any disruption.
At IASS people of all ages enjoy ashram living including those from birth to over 84 years of age.
You are welcome to stay as a guest for up to five days without incurring any costs. Thereafter there are nominal charges for food only.
It is expected that you attend morning and evening Satsangs and offer at least one hour daily of your time in selfless service to the ashram. Other than that, you are free to spend your time as you wish, naturally, observing the code of ethics.
