Ashram Self-Reliant Stays in 2024
Applications are open for Siddha Yoga students who wish to stay at the Ashram in Sydney throughout 2024.

Ashram Stays for the Summer Pause
Applications are now open for individuals or groups who wish to apply for an Ashram Stay over the summer pause period between 27 December 2024 to 19 January 2025.
There will be a silent weekend on 4-5 January 2025. Apply HERE.
Stays at the Ashram are based on the Siddha Yoga Ashram Daily Schedule designed by Baba and refined by Gurumayi. The schedule includes meditation, svadyaya, chanting, seva, and quiet contemplation. The practice of silence, Siddha Yoga study, sadhana circles and japa walks may be included. The Ashram, recently renovated, is surrounded by tranquil gardens and is within a short walk to the river parklands.
How Ashram stays work
Ashram stays are self-reliant, meaning that residents, together, will do their own catering, and cleaning.
The Ashram Stay may be up to one month (minimum two nights). They may be by individuals or groups, such as sadhana circles, Siddha Yoga friends, or communities from particular locations.
Ideally, applicants have had previous experience of Siddha Yoga Ashram living.
Requirements for Visiting Siddha Yoga Students
Please read the studentship requirements below before applying. In addition to these studentship requirements, applicants must have the physical ability to follow the Ashram Daily Schedule including offering approximately 2 hours seva per day. While the Ashram is now better able to accommodate people with limited mobility, these Ashram stays are self-reliant and self-catering. Participants therefore need to be able to manage their share of self-catering (purchasing, preparing, and serving of food as well as the cleaning up afterwards).
Siddha Yoga Studentship Requirements

Has maintained at least one of the core Siddha Yoga practices (meditation, chanting, seva, dakshina) for a minimum of at least one year
Understands seva as a spiritual practice
