Ashram Rules
“The ultimate aim of life is to live in God.
The ultimate way to achieve it is to live for God.”
- Shri Chandra Swami Udasin
Sadhana Kendra Ashram is a sacred place established by Revered Gurudev Shri Chandra Swami Ji Udasin as a place for meditation and spiritual practice. All sincere seekers are welcome here for prayer and meditation, irrespective of caste or creed, provided they abide by the following rules:
1. Prior permission is mandatory to stay in the ashram.
2. Since the ashram’s establishment, the four daily collective meditation sessions in the ashram’s meditation hall have been running smoothly in the presence of Pujya Gurudev and other monks as per the schedule below. This is a very important part of the daily routine and participation is mandatory for all those visiting the ashram.
4:30 - 5:30 am Meditation
3:30 - 4:30 am Meditation
9:00 - 10:00 am Meditation
6:00 - 7:00 am Sankirtan/Meditation

7. Please come on time for meals. Food and snacks are not available between scheduled mealtimes. Please take only as much as you can eat and don't waste food.
8. Please remain silent as much as possible in the ashram and do not talk unnecessarily. Pujya Gurudev was the embodiment of divine silence.
9. Gurudev’s initiated disciples and other seekers staying in the ashram are encouraged to study Gurudev’s spiritual literature, available in the library, for some time every day.
10. Selfless service in the name of God is an important teaching of Gurudev and an important part of the ashram routine. All seekers staying in the ashram who are fit and able are expected to contribute daily to selfless service activities such as cleaning, washing dishes, gardening, chopping vegetables, etc, as may be assigned to them.
11. Only children of that age should come to the ashram for longer durations who can follow all the rules, sit quietly during the four meditation sessions and do seva. Besides following the ashram schedule, parents should encourage their children to do written japa in the Japa Booklet available in the library. Parents may bring babies and small children for a maximum of two nights. Children who cannot sit quietly should not be brought to the satsang or meditation sessions. At that time, parents can sit with them in the Stuti-Vatika (a separate room for the recital of holy scriptures).
12. Seekers staying in the ashram should do all their personal work themselves. Please do not ask the ashram employees to do any of your personal work.
