SILENCE Guidelines

SILENCE is a sacred practice that deepens one’s connection with the Divine. Maintaining silence helps cultivate inner peace, awareness and devotion while engaging in meditation, japa, and self-reflection.

“SILENCE is the language of the soul - where words end, divine communion begins.”

Devotees are kindly requested to observe STRICT SILENCE in the following areas:

  • Temple Premises
  • Dining Hall
  • Library
  • Bookshop Premises
  • Meditation Hall
  • Corridors

Let us honour these spaces by remaining inwardly and outwardly quiet, allowing the divine vibrations of the Ashram to guide our spiritual journey
