Shree Peetha Nilaya Ashram
About
Welcome to Shree Peetha Nilaya Ashram, a spiritual oasis also known as the abode of the Divine Mother. Atithi Devo Bhava, meaning "The guest is equivalent to God" in Sanskrit, is the philosophy we live by at this Hindu monastery. Our ashram offers a unique opportunity to experience a lifestyle of service to God and immerse yourself in the teachings of Paramahamsa Vishwananda. Our community consists of over 100 Hindu monks and non-monastic individuals who welcome visitors seeking transformation and a personal relationship with God. Days at the ashram are filled with various activities such as music, prayers, meditation, yoga, art, and inner experiences. You can also find peace in the silent areas or connect with the Divine in the temples and Saints Museum. Our international Vaishnava community is open-minded and welcoming. Visit us to have a transformative experience that supports your ideas, purpose, and objectives. Discover a path to trust and fearlessness as you turn your attention towards the Divine. We look forward to welcoming you to our ashram. Activities/Tips for Your Visit: Every day is a great time to come and experience our offerings, but on Saturdays and Sundays, we invite you to join our "open days" brimming with music and incredible food. Additionally, we dedicate Mondays to purifying our bodies, where you can indulge in our Ayurvedic detox menu, known as Kicheri, during all three meal times. On Saturday mornings, you can partake in 45 minutes of Ancient Vedic Chanting during our Temple prayers, which run from 7 am to 9 am. For daily prayers, our temple holds sessions from: 7 am to 8:30 am 6 pm to 7 pm 8 pm - 8:30 pm Furthermore, at 5 pm each day, we offer a special group meditation technique called "Om Chanting." We hope you make the most of your visit with these activities and experiences!
