Live and Study at the Ashram!

Kaivalya Cottage

The Perfect Place to Attain the Supreme Liberation!

If you are ready to put your busy life on pause, so that you can focus without interruption on your innermost divine nature, we have the ideal spot for your ultimate Self-realization. The Sat Yoga Ashram is offering a new kind of retreat for advanced yogis yearning for solitude in the beauty of Nature—with the option of attending spiritual classes and meeting privately with Shunyamurti, when your heart calls for fellowship or guidance.

Welcome to your Kaivalya Cottage! The Sanskrit word Kaivalya refers to the sweet state of sacred solitude of the 

Infinite Self. In this “transformational cocoon,” you can decompress from the stress of existing in the chaotic world at the end of Kali Yuga, and turn inward, to find rest in your heart—free of demands, distractions, schedules, and sensory overload. Come and abide in the effortless joy of simplicity, stillness, and sovereign, spacious freedom!

This cozy bungalow is nestled atop a magnificent mountain far from the frenzy of urban life, with an exquisite view of forests and waterfalls—an idyllic spot in which to nourish your soul, and attain the highest goal of total Presence.

The Kaivalya Cottage is a one-bedroom, one-bathroom, well-crafted wooden cabin, with large windows and vaulted ceilings. It is equipped with a full kitchen, living room, a spacious deck, wifi, hot water and laundry facilities. This hideaway is nestled in a very private location, a lovely 20-minute stroll to our community center (and we might be able to arrange a ride when needed).

Brahmachari:

One whose consciousness has merged with Brahman, the Absolute, and thus has been liberated from all desire, fear, attachment, and material frames of reference. Thus, a Brahmachari naturally lives a life of celibacy, simplicity, and inner solitude.

Satsang:

Meditative meetings in which the highest teachings are shared. Shunyamurti also offers guidance during questions and answers to resolve the most difficult and delicate matters of the heart.

The process of non-process:

Since awakening is instantaneous, along with the recognition that one was never really in the dream, but enjoying the creation of the dream, it must be understood that making awakening into a process can only be part of the dream, and has nothing to do with Awakening itself.

The Real:

When we speak of the Real, unless otherwise qualified, we mean the Supreme Real. The Supreme Real does not appear. Appearance is not Real. All that appears is empty of true existence. There are no real things. All that is phenomenal is temporary, dependent, and reducible to a wave function of consciousness. The world does not exist independent of consciousness. There is no matter or material world. All is made of consciousness. Pure consciousness is Presence. It is no-thing, non-objective, not in space or time. All that appears in Presence, or to Presence, is an emanation of Presence, but is not different from That. This is one meaning of nonduality.

The Real is also a term used in Lacanian psychoanalysis. What Lacan means by the Real is that aspect of phenomenal appearance which is overwhelming, traumatic, or impossible. We would call that Real One. It is a relative Real, not Absolute. We add that there is a Real Two, which consists of divine love. Love is not an appearance, but it changes appearance, through recognition of its Source, into a divine manifestation, a projection of God’s sublimely beautiful Mind as infinite fractal holographic cosmos. Real Three is the unchanging Absolute, beyond all conception or image.

Dharma and dharma:

When we use the term Dharma (capitalized), we refer to our dedication to living in accord with the timeless principles of impeccable integrity that keep us in harmony with Nature and our Supernatural Source.

When we use the term without capitalization, we refer to our acceptance of the community’s processes, protocols, and chain of command with the “Haji! Spirit” of going the “extra mile” and working overtime when necessary to make the impossible inevitable, as our unconditional act of surrender to Love.
