People visit an Ashram for a once in a lifetime experience and most people do not mind making a payment or donation as they gain immensely from the experience.
What is an ashram and what are its purposes?
Traditionally an Ashram is the home of a spiritual master or Guru who lives there. If you wish to find deep spiritual enlightenment then the Guru or mentor at the Ashram helps you in pursuing your spiritual goals. However, Ashrams in Rishikesh are today centers of yoga learning and practices. You can expect to live a simple life that is immersed in yogic practices and where you will be able to think deeply about your inner journey. Ashrams also offer Ayurvedic treatments and therapies for several diseases so that you can lead a healthier and more fulfilled life.
Which ashram is right for me in India?
You have to understand first why you wish to come to an Ashram in India. Is it to learn yoga, for spiritual pursuits, or for Ayurveda treatment? You must also understand that yoga in India is not just a physical exercise but is linked to spirituality and so staying in the Ashram means following the strict daily schedule of the Ashram including mantra chanting. An Ashram is not a hotel but a place of learning and reflecting and so they are located in quiet surroundings so you can look into your soul in an environment that supports it.
How to join an Ashram?
You can join an Ashram by booking yourself into an Ashram program well in advance as most programs get booked early. You can also email the Ashram of your choice to understand what they offer and if that is what you are looking for.
A person who wishes to dedicate his whole life to an Ashram and devote himself to spiritual pursuits can seek the permission of the Guru /Head of Ashram to join the Ashram. If permitted they then become the disciples of the Guru and pursue spiritual life through the practices at the Ashram.
Ashram Work Exchange
There are several aspirants who participate in yoga teacher training or a yoga certification course, but there are others wish to have a more immersive study of the yogic lifestyle. If you fall into the latter category you can volunteer your time at the Ashram where you will be given daily chores as karma yoga and other duties of the Ashram in exchange for your room, board, and access to classes and workshops. However, you will have to follow a disciplined Ashram life. If you have any special ability which can be of help to the Ashram then too you can approach an Ashram to find out if you can contribute your time in exchange for an Ashram stay. Write to the Ashram and mention if you want to work for the ashram on day to day karma work. However, most Ashram exchange work requires a minimum time commitment of a few months so you need to be mentally prepared for that.
