Free Stay in Ashram Review Accommodation in Haridwar Rishikesh Delhi Mumbai Amritsar India ????
I always plan my trip in advance, at least 3-4 month in advance. This time I wanted to travel without much planning. Only focus was, to travel around Kerala and tamilnadu, going with flow and accepting most of the recommendation by locals on the way...
As I was about to start, and I came across Anandashram where a local said I can stay there 2 nights free and also can do some sightseeing around. However, I'm done with so much sightseeings since 2009, I'm not much focused on that. But it was ashram, as a spiritual seeker, I liked to explore daily activities of the ashram. I have visited other places are in India like Mumbai, Delhi, haridwar, rishikesh Varanasi, Amritsar. These places are having many ashrams, gurdwaras where one can stay free or give any amount as donation. You can also learn more about their spiritual practice.
......
Now let me tell you about anandashram, I have contacted them via email and within a day I got invitation to experience it.
Initially, I requested for 3 night to week long stay. Later requested with swami Muktananda and ended up staying total 13 days long. As I met swami Muktananda, I felt like he was reading my mind as he accepted my request almost before I start saying to him.
In this ashram, there was no idols warship, any cast or people from any religion are welcome. Which I find very unique and different than last 2 ashrams which I've visited.
Anandashram provided me a twin sharing room, all meals that also less spicy and vegetarian. You will hardly feel hungry there.
Anandashram having their own goshala with many cows, rice farm land, many herbal plants and trees around.
In those 13 days I have attended almost all daily activities like full day ram Nam chanting from 6am to 6pm, morning prayer, evening satsang, afternoon and night arati, also did some seva in bookstall. It was really wonderful experience for me in anandashram. Best thing I liked is evening Satsang by swami Muktananda.
However, don't expect that people or followers staying in and around the ashram are enlightened
➡️Guruvanam
When I was staying in anandashram, I met some spiritual seekers. Especially One from Chennai and another from tripura got connected very well with me. We planned to go for a walk to Guruvanam which was around 7 km away, a forest in the hills where Bhagawan Nityananda sat on penance, is now a pilgrim retreat.
Details about Nityananda's birth are relatively unknown. According to his disciples, Nityananda was found as an abandoned infant in Tuneri village, Kozhikode, Kerala, India by a lady named Uniamma Nair, who was married to Chathu Nair. The Nair couple adopted this child and took care of him along with their own five children.
Even in childhood, Nityananda seemed to be in an unusually advanced spiritual state, which gave rise to the belief that he was born enlightened. He was eventually given the name Nityananda, which means, always in bliss. After visiting guruvanam, we visited nityanada Ashram which is another 3 km walk from guruvanam and then visited beach which was just 2km from Nityanada Ashram.
I have not taken video and photos of inside part as it was prohibited. The place was very calm and peaceful, with so much vibration around the cave area. Best time to visit to visit is before 8am and very good place for meditation....

SUMMARY
=======
Hinduism is an Indian religion and dharma, or a way of life, widely practised in the Indian subcontinent and parts of Southeast Asia. Hinduism has been called the oldest religion in the world, and some practitioners and scholars refer to it as Sanātana Dharma, the eternal tradition, or the eternal way, beyond human history. Scholars regard Hinduism as a fusion or synthesis of various Indian cultures and traditions, with diverse roots and no founder. This Hindu synthesis started to develop between 500 BCE and 300 CE, after the end of the Vedic period (1500 BCE to 500 BCE), and flourished in the medieval period, with the decline of Buddhism in India.Although Hinduism contains a broad range of philosophies, it is linked by shared concepts, recognisable rituals, cosmology, shared textual resources, and pilgrimage to sacred sites. Hindu texts are classified into Śruti (heard) and Smṛti (remembered). These texts discuss theology, philosophy, mythology, Vedic yajna, Yoga, agamic rituals, and temple building, among other topics. Major scriptures include the Vedas and Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Āgamas. Sources of authority and eternal truths in its texts play an important role, but there is also a strong Hindu tradition of questioning authority in order to deepen the understanding of these truths and to further develop the tradition.Prominent themes in Hindu beliefs include the four Puruṣārthas, the proper goals or aims of human life, namely Dharma (ethics/duties), Artha (prosperity/work), Kama (desires/passions) and Moksha (liberation/freedom from the cycle of death and rebirth/salvation); karma (action, intent and consequences), Saṃsāra (cycle of death and rebirth), and the various Yogas (paths or practices to attain moksha). Hindu practices include rituals such as puja (worship) and recitations, japa, meditation, family-oriented rites of passage, annual festivals, and occasional pilgrimages. Some Hindus leave their social world and material possessions, then engage in lifelong Sannyasa (monastic practices) to achieve Moksha. Hinduism prescribes the eternal duties, such as honesty, refraining from injuring living beings (ahimsa), patience, forbearance, self-restraint, and compassion, among others. The four largest denominations of Hinduism are the Vaishnavism, Shaivism, Shaktism and Smartism.Hinduism is the world's third largest religion; its followers, known as Hindus, constitute about 1.15 billion, or 15–16% of the global population. Hindus form the majority of the population in India, Nepal and Mauritius. Significant Hindu communities are also found in the Caribbean, Africa, North America, and other countries.
