An Ashram Dedicated
Welcome!
Ajatananda Ashram is an interreligious monastic ashram in Tapovan (Rishikesh), in the Indian Himalayas, dedicated to the Oneness of Truth and the teachings of Non-duality (Advaita). It values silence, contemplation and Self-enquiry.
It originated in December 2003 to fulfil the dream and vision of Swami Abhishiktananda (1910-1973) as an interreligious monastic community on the banks of holy Ganges. It was also deeply inspired by his disciple, Swami Ajatananda Saraswati, who realized the Timeless and Absolute Consciousness and who disappeared mysteriously in the Himalayas in 1977. The ashram was named after him and is entrusted to his gracious protection and divine guidance.
Furthermore, the foundation of the ashram was blessed by H.H. Sri Chandra Swami Udasin and supported by other Indian sages as H.H. Sri Swami Chidananda Saraswati and H.H. the XIVth Dalai-Lama.
The entire place and surrounds are filled with high energy and are most conducive for spiritual sadhana and the process of Awakening.
