Daily Schedule

The ashram daily schedule of chanting, meditation, courses, and selfless service was created by Swami Muktananda to support seekers in deepening their spiritual practice. This daily schedule is recommended for everyone who spends time at the ashram, and is, in itself, an ideal schedule for spiritual retreat. Over the years, seekers have found that as they participate in the beautiful rhythm of each day, they begin to experience a renewed flow of energy and inspiration.

The first Tuesday of the month chant will be Kundalini Stavah and Shiva Mahimnah Stotram. The Noon Chant on Thursday include the Kundalini Stavah and meditation.

Ashram Hours:The ashram opens at 5:30 am and closes at 8:00 pm on weekdays, at 9:30 pm on Saturdays and at 2:00 pm on Sundays. The ashram is close to entry between 9:30 - 11:30 am, and 2:00 - 5:00 pm Monday through Saturday. See also Temple Hours.
