Building of hermitages

The main goal of the Sadhu Tapovan ashram is to create a space for solitude and spiritual practice in the Altai Mountains. Here, everyone who strives for truth will be able to contemplate the silence of the mind, immersing themselves in sadhana and Atma-vichara. The hermitages that we plan to build in the bosom of pristine nature will allow hermits to find a suitable place, lay disciples to undergo longer retreats, and anyone who wants to immerse themselves in sadhana.

Thanks to your participation in the implementation of the project, many practitioners will be able to visit the ashram and be saturated with the beneficial energies that reside here. Together we will be able to spread the Dharma, making it accessible to many souls.

To create a retreat space in the mountains, it is planned to create two hermitages: a middle one and a distant one.

The middle hermitage will have an atmosphere of quiet, leisurely lifestyle in the bosom of nature. Here, Swami Vishnudevananda Giri's disciples will master the art of retreat sadhana, alternating with simple seva - work in a small garden, a cowshed and beekeeping. There will be secluded retreat cells here.

The middle hermitage will be used to connect to the distant hermitage and to provide it with food. The distant hermitage is a place of seclusion, complete solitude, and immersion in sadhana for a long time in the midst of pristine, untouched nature.

We invite sponsors of the project, cervants, those who are close to the path of retreat sadhana, reclusion and solitude in the Altai Mountains.
