In January 2018, the first permanent Kriya Yoga Ashram in the pacific area opened. The ashram was officially named Kriya Vidya Mandir - Centre of Kriya Meditation.
Set on 4.4 acres, the property is idyllically situated near magnificent beaches and beautiful rainforests - a peaceful oasis for Kriyavans to retreat from the busy world.
An ashram is a glorious place for spiritual seekers. It is a place of education and the development of wisdom, a space for meditation and spiritual practice, and a place for seclusion, silence and reflection.
Founding an ashram is a way of honouring the masters of Kriya Yoga by creating a place to delve deeply into their teachings. The presence of loving and caring residents living in humility and service — and the flow of students eager to learn and serve — adds to the beauty of an ashram. It is a place that helps you to see the presence of divinity in all; it is a place of practical spirituality.
Kriyavans from across Australasia, are invited to donate to the ashram to ensure the continuation of this important work.
