Vrindavan is situated in north India about 151 km south of Delhi. It is the place where Lord Krishna spent his early childhood and is one of India’s most blissful and holiest cities. There are over 5000 temples in Vrindavan.

In 1995 Swami Balendu founded an Ashram at Vrindavan, where he provides a home and education for a number of young students, between the age of 12 and 20. The students learn Yoga, Meditation and Sanskrit literature from experienced and qualified teachers. Their education and full board is free of charge. This means that their families are free of this financial pressure and the students learn and grow in a positive, loving and spiritual environment. Younger children visit the Swami Balendu e.V. Kindergarten and the Swami Balendu e.V. primary school which are right next to the Ashram.

Any interested visitor to India is welcome to visit and stay at the Ashram. The Ashram is very open, friendly and hospitable. The rooms are spacious, fully air conditioned and have bathroom and shower facilities. There is also a beautiful lawn and patio. Delicious meals are served and shared in a very loving way at the Ashram.

Yoga classes are available whenever a group is coming for Yoga holidays. Visitors are free to spend their time as they please. You may wish to sit in the peace and tranquility of the Ashram and enjoy the wonderful energy. You can also visit Swami Ji's cave, where he spent over three and half years meditating. Here you can experience the very high loving vibration and absorb its healing qualities. You may also like to visit some of Vrindavan’s many temples, other ashrams or markets.

The children of the school and the Kindergarten are always happy when a visitor comes to see how they are learning. You can visit the school and sponsors can get to know their children.

All visitors are welcome. We are happy to open our doors for people who feel a connection with the Ashram and who are interested in our projects and activities.

The principle of our Ashram is to share our love, feelings, food, room and everything. And we love to share! But we would also like to ask every guest to consider giving a donation of an affordable amount as we are investing money for our charity work as well as for maintaining Ashram. We are not a hotel nor are we charging anything per room per night. Even to the poorest traveler we love to give the possibility to stay here. But we would like to see appreciation also from our guests who are financially in a better situation. Please respect our feeling that we don’t want to make a minimum or a maximum price. For everyone there is another appropriate amount.

Please feel free to come and visit our Ashram whenever you are in Vrindavan.
