Ashram Self-Reliant Stays in Sydney

Applications are now open for Siddha Yoga students who wish to stay at the Ashram in Sydney during 2024.

Stays at the Ashram are based on the Siddha Yoga Ashram Daily Schedule designed by Baba Muktananda and refined by Gurumayi. The schedule includes meditation, svadyaya, chanting, seva, and quiet contemplation. The practice of silence, Siddha Yoga study, sadhana circles and japa walks may be included. The Ashram, recently renovated, is surrounded by tranquil gardens and is within a short walk to the river parklands.

An Ashram self-reliant stay means that the resident/s do their own catering and cleaning.

An Ashram Stay may be for as little as one night and (generally) for a maximum of one month.  A stay may be by an individual or a group, such as a sadhana circle, a group of Siddha Yoga friends, or members of  a Siddha Yoga community from a particular location. 

Ideally, applicants have had previous experience of Siddha Yoga Ashram living.

Expressions of interest are also welcome from experienced Siddha Yoga students who are interested in offering full-time seva and staying at the Ashram for longer than one month. 

Please read the studentship requirements below before applying. In addition to these studentship requirements, applicants must have the physical ability to follow the Ashram Daily Schedule. For short-term Ashram stays, this includes offering approximately 2 hours seva per day. While the Ashram is now better able to accommodate people with limited mobility, these Ashram stays are self-reliant and self-catering. Participants therefore need to be able to manage their share of self-catering (purchasing, preparing, and serving of food as well as the cleaning up afterwards). 

If you have questions about this opportunity for short- or long-term Ashram stays, please email ashramstays.syd@siddhayoga.org.au by clicking on the 'Enquire about Ashram Stays' button, and include your name, contact details and the nature of your proposed stay (duration and whether you are an individual or a group). A Residency Team member will be in touch with you as soon as possible.
