I found the Ashram to be a serene and uncluttered. From the moment I arrived, I felt enveloped by a sense of calm and reverence. It was not a matter of absolute silence, it was a matter of a gentle calmness that pervades the space. Swami Madhuram welcomed me with warmth and acceptance. The pace is un-hurried and the material simplicity of the way of life lived there, felt purifying and quietly satisfying.
