Thasmai Charitable Trust — Knowledge is God

Come as you are

Visit the ashram

Gurugramam is a working ashram, not a resort. Visitors come to practice, to learn, to serve, or simply to be present in a place where the inner life is taken seriously. All sincere inquiries are welcome.

Visit options

Three ways to come

Day visit

Attend a morning practice, a public discourse, or a cultural programme. Day visitors are welcome on most weekends. Write to confirm availability.

Retreat stay

Structured 3- to 7-day residential stays with guided practice, silence periods, and ashram routine. Available to practitioners at any experience level.

Festival participation

Annual Vedic festivals, ekādaśī observances, and seasonal celebrations are open to the wider community. Announced by newsletter 4–6 weeks in advance.
