Sivananda Ashram, a proud Member Institute of the Indian Yoga Association, has had a vibrant month filled with inspiring activities and community gatherings across its ashrams, centres, and other sacred locations in India.
Highlights included a refreshing trip by students and teachers of the Trivandrum Centre to Thirunelveli, where they enjoyed a serene walk and temple visit amidst the mountains; the inauguration of a new Health Hut and boutique at the Netala Ashram; the first-ever India Directors’ Retreat at Varkala; a soulful satsang at Mitra Yoga Centre in Kadappa; and the installation of a new Siva Lingam at the revered Gangotri Cave. Each of these moments reflected the ashram’s spirit of devotion, service, and spiritual growth.
From July 7 to 14, the divine Bhagavata Saptaha recitation was conducted inside Swamiji’s sacred cave at Gangotri by the ashram priest. The serene setting of the Himalayas added to the depth of the spiritual experience.
On July 14, the ashram joyfully organized its very first bhandara for the sadhus of Gangotri, marking a memorable milestone in seva and collective devotion.
