Overview
Welcome to the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Meenakshi Ashram, established in 2002 and nestled amidst the serene forest lands of South India. Located just an hour from the sacred city of Madurai, this tranquil retreat offers breathtaking views of the majestic Western Ghats. Our Ashram is named after Meenakshi Amman, the revered Divine Mother and presiding deity of the historic Madurai temple.
At the Meenakshi Ashram, you will find a perfect sanctuary for yoga and meditation, harmoniously set within nature’s embrace. Our Ashram Temple, dedicated to the Goddess Kali, is adorned with fragrant jasmine flowers used in sacred offerings. The entire grounds have been thoughtfully designed according to Vastu, the ancient Indian science of architecture, ensuring a space that nurtures peace and spiritual growth.
Description
Welcome to the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centres, a revered non-profit organization founded in 1957 by Swami Vishnudevananda in honor of his esteemed teacher, H.H. Sri Swami Sivananda Saraswati Maharaj, one of the most influential spiritual figures of the 20th century. Our mission is to preserve and share the timeless wisdom of yoga and Vedanta, maintaining their purity and rich tradition that has been cultivated over thousands of years.
Since our founding, we have been devoted to nurturing spiritual growth and education, training thousands of yoga teachers worldwide since 1963. Our unique approach integrates the Four Paths of Yoga through the Five Points of Yoga as taught by Swami Vishnudevananda. This holistic methodology is designed to promote physical, mental, and spiritual well-being, guiding practitioners toward Self-realization. We deeply embrace Swami Sivananda’s principle that “an ounce of practice is worth tons of theory,” with many of our dedicated teachers living within our organization as renunciants or swamis, fully immersed in the study and practice of yoga.
With our headquarters in Val Morin, Canada, we have a widespread global presence in over 26 countries, with a central hub in Quebec. In India, our network features four tranquil Ashrams located at Neyyar Dam (our headquarters), Madurai, Uttarkashi, and Gudur, as well as five serene Centres in Kailash Colony (New Delhi), Dwarka (New Delhi), Chennai, Madurai, and Trivandrum. Our Ashrams provide ideal settings for spiritual retreats where you can live, study, and practice under the guidance of seasoned teachers. Our Centres offer a peaceful haven from the hectic pace of city life, creating an oasis of tranquility and learning.
