Lodging and Residence

At present, Tureya Ashram is housing all guests and visitors in our adobe style houses constructed from mud, brick, and thatched roofing, lodging made for a pure and natural yoga retreat. These homes provide our residents with a sensation of simplicity, connecting them with the earth and their inner spirits. Although we support all modern lifestyle, Tureya Ashram is an environment designed to simplify the external life to enhance the inner life.

The ashram facilities are warm and homey, providing comfort and relief from modern living which is often times overloaded with stress and anxiety.  We also have many meditation coves to give people privacy for their contemplative practices, finding peace amongst the stream banks or sitting atop the meditation bolder overlooking the valley.

Our adobes contain unique building constructions which are native to the Kodaikanal villages; this allows our guests to connect with the traditional India living style.  Although most Indians sleep on the bare earth, guests of Tureya Ashram are provided beds and warm blankets to accommodate their needs. We also provide hot water, electricity, and other precautions to ensure a healthy and enjoyable stay.

Food

Three meals a day are provided to all ashram guests, students, and residents which includes an assortment of fresh fruits and vegetables, some of which are grown on the ashram grounds including guava, jackfruit, bananas, tomatoes, carrots, oranges, and many others are available to all guests on a seasonal basis.  A natural underground spring provides pure cooking and drinking water, but we also supply purified drinking water from companies like Aquafina (pepsi co.) for additional health precautions.

Traditional South Indian Sattvic style of food is served with a variety of sauces made from a unique blend of Indian spices and herbs.

We strive to provide nourishing, clean, and tasty food that will give you a chance to experience Indian cuisine while also maintaining a very health and safe diet.

More Information

Starting in 2008, our ashram will undergo many renovations to help accommodate our foreign visitors.  We are starting several construction projects, one of which is a residential project that will provide our guests with modern facilities.

If guests are interested in modern accommodations before the completion of our project, we will happily arrange room and boarding from a nearby hotel which offers modern facilities.  The hotel has already agreed to offer discounted rates to all ashram visitors in support of our community.
