STAYING AT SALAGRAMAM ASHRAM

Salagramam Ashram, located within the limits of Trivandrum city, is beautifully laid out along the banks of the Karamana River. Although close to the city, the atmosphere is green and rustic. The eco-friendly and ethnic architecture of the ashram building adds to the serenity of the place.

Salagramam Ashram is an ideal place to take a retreat, to do yoga or meditation, for spiritual practice (Sadhana) or study. Nalanda - Takshasila, the library complex in two levels, has an excellent collection of books to satisfy any seeker of knowledge. Saptha Bhumika, the labyrinth, provides the path for a 'walking meditation' - a whole, new elevating experience.

Accommodation facilities are available at the ashram in the form of guest rooms and dormitories. Guests and devotees can avail themselves of these facilities to stay for short periods. Guests, devotees and visitors are requested to inform the Ashram with details of the intended visit / stay and obtain written permission to help make smooth arrangements for their arrival and stay.
