​Sadhana Mandir Ashram

Founded in 1966 on the banks of the Ganges in Rishikesh, India, Sadhana Mandir Trust was established by Swami Rama as an international retreat center for sincere aspirants to practice meditation in a spiritually elevating environment. Away from the hustle and bustle of Rishikesh, nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas, Sadhana Mandir is located on the banks of the holy river Ganges. Surrounded by beautiful flowering gardens, mango trees and a lotus pond, a quiet and serene atmosphere permeates the ashram making it ideal for sadhana. At Sadhana Mandir Ashram, we invite you to immerse yourself in the transformative power of meditation. Our dedicated spaces are designed to foster deep reflection and connection with the self. Join us for workshops, retreats, and daily practices that harmonize the mind, body, and spirit. Experience the tranquility of our surroundings as you embark on a journey of self-discovery and inner peace.
