Self-Realization Ashram

About

ABOUT THE ASHRAM

The Self-Realization Ashram is the home of Sri Avinsah Do. It was born out of the yearning of seekers to live a life of service and compassion, and to be trained by a Spiritual Master.

The Ashram hosts events for the community, as well as charitable service projects.

ASHRAM LIFE

Daily life for residents at the Self-Realization Ashram primarily involves selfless service, for the benefit of the seeker, the sangha (the spiritual community) and the wider community. Other spiritual practices include Satsang with Sri Avinash, archana (chanting the thousand names of the Divine Mother), mantra japa, mindfulness meditation and devotional singing.
