Ashrams in Rishikesh
Anand Prakash Ashram was founded by Yogi Vishvketu ji and Chetana Panwar, and had its opening ceremonies on Deepavali, Nov. 9, 2007. The vision for the ashram is to create a comfortable, nurturing sanctuary for spiritual seekers from around the world where they will have safe, clean food and water, and guidance for their yogic journey. Anand Prakash Ashram also promotes Akhanda Yoga, the holistic, non-sectarian yoga teachings of its founders, in which students are encouraged to practice all aspects of the diverse tradition of yoga: satkarma, asana, pranayama, Vedic mantra in India, kiirtan, and meditation, as well as to contemplate various traditions in yoga philosophy: Vedanta, Tantra,Samkhya and yoga classes in India..
Anand Prakash Ashram is located in the dynamic international village of spiritual seekers in an area of Rishikesh called Tapovan, about 250 kms. north or Delhi. The Ganges river valley here is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and it is considered the gateway to the Himalayas. Tapovan is an ideal location for yoga sadhana; it is named for its heritage as a site for spiritual disciplines. Tap, represents tapas, the practice of spiritual disciplines. Van means forest. So, Tapovan is the forest of the yogis. Anand Prakash is on a headland above the banks of the Ganges, one of the first open spaces down river from the source of the Ganges. The wind and all the prana carried from the Himalayas whistle down the river valley and blow out over this headland invigorating the ashram area. We welcome you for an inspiring stay in this spiritual community.
Rooms and Facilities
Anand Prakash has 18 rooms for yoga practitioners to stay onsite. There are 3 single rooms, 11 double rooms and 4 triple rooms. All of the rooms have single beds with bedding appropriate to each season, and an adjoining bathroom with a Western toilet.
The ashram has two practice halls, the Patanjali Sadhana Hall (1300 square feet) on the lower level, and the Nataraj Yoga Hall (1900 square feet) on the third floor with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. The Nataraj Yoga Hall has a wood laminate floor and a vaulted bamboo ceiling creating a clean, authentic and natural space for Yoga practice. Each hall has pillows, bolsters and yoga mats available.
