My Experience Staying at an Ashram in Rishikesh, India

Went to Divine Life Society Asharam or fondly known as Sivananda Ashram in 1994 as a 11 y.o kid. After 21 years I went there again with my parents in 2015. The ashram has undergone expansion ever since. The serenity one gets here, is like no other place on Earth i must say. It's truly a simple place to visit yet the tranquility vibrates through your heart. And being able to watch you video in 2018 brought back beautiful memories. Thanks Gabriel! God bless.
Such a tranquil place, I really enjoyed the video. Pay what you can afford, seems quite an ethical method to me.
That ashram is very peaceful!
sandip koley exactly
Serves the purpose..... A great place to learn about oneself and keep mental health well.
Love your work Gabriel. Keep it up.
What a lovely place, really peaceful and atmospheric. Thank you for showing us around, I'd always wondered what an ashram looked like.
Hey Gabriel Your best vid in ages. I like the 'older' ashrams like this. More genuine people and teachings I really enjoyed this one. Such an oasis from the Rishikesh road...I hate that road hahaha thanks mate!!
This was beautiful, thank you! Jai Sivananda!
Now i know why your views are unbiased. It is good that you don't have any faith. Unbiased eyes can see the truth.
yes
Not following to a specific religion does not mean a lack of faith. I am a extremely spiritual person and do not follow a specific religion, yet I am filled with faith.
Some spiritual people have faith. I am one of them. Spirituality is a part of the soul and is part of every person. Doesn't matter what faith they have or lack. Partnered with yoga, a higher undescribable consciousness can be reached.
The Divine life society is indeed blissfully Divine!!!🙏🏼💕🙏🏼
Thank you Gabriel for this, and the video about the abandoned ashram. Very good content 👍
Another good and interesting video mate keep it up!
Awesome video Gabe! So cool that you practiced there twice! Thank you for sharing this! Your videos are amazing!!
Thanks. :)
Hi beautiful I'm from Jaipur India, whenever u comes in Jaipur stay free at my home ,7374087129,,my wats up
@@krishanarathore4929 Very generous of you...keep it up.
Fascinating, Gabriel!
You're pretty cool man.... Thanks for sharing your experience.
The Sivananda Ashram is such a beautiful, peaceful and divine place. If you want to expirience practical spirituality and yoga you have to go to this Ashram. I really love the pleace and the divine teachings of it's founders - Sri Swami Sivananda ji.
Jai Ho my sadguru Swami sivaananda ji
Incredible work!
We Heartly welcome you to the devine place of world 🌍.💐💐💐💐🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
So lovely!!!❤️✨
This place is very special. Thank you for introducing it to me.
I went there last january! Unbelievable experience! Love india 🇮🇳
great video Gabriel :D
So nice to watch the video and did share in my Facebook. Thank you.
Cool Ashram, wonderful vedio 👍
Thanks for posting this tour of the ashram.
Lovely video. Thank you! ☺️
Amazing, thanks for the efforts.
Charan vandam to swami sivananda and swami chidananda .truely selfess and noble souls. Jai narayan. 🙏
Great video Bro
The place looks very well managed!
Ah this is where I want to go. Keen to learn about your experiences.
AUM NAMO BHAGAVATE SHIVANANDAYA, Thanks a ton for the video.
Looks like a great place to visit
I live in Seattle I'm from dehradun and i love your videos! Thank you
I am an Indian and I dont even know such places exist in India !
Such a cool thing that they dont ask you for fees
Because it's a tourist spirituality scam
Thanks for sharing this video with us blessings always
Did the Christmas retreat in 2017/‘18 ... beautiful...
Some of the buildings in that complex remind me of how the projects used to look in Philadelphia, USA, during the 90's.
What a contrast....
Its beautiful to see low crime rate. India really is Blessed. Are these ashrams open to the public??
Yes, the ashrams are generally open to the public, so you can just walk in there. But you would need reservations to stay for the night and be involved in all the daily activities.
Nice video, keep on bro
Just sawa video of jhilmil gufa aka cave by another traveler in Rishikesh. Looked awesome.
Mansarovar & Kailash are inner experiences - outer locations are reflection of that
i think this guy is a part hippie, doesnt subscribe to die hard hippie life style but i think he embraces certain aspects.
i just want to add that the infrastructure of the 'ashram' shown is what is needed in the rest of the city, it is strange why indians just make temples and praying places of good quality, while the gutters are flowing, garbage is laying on the normal streets, rundown buildings with no maintenance. the indian subcontinent in general only decorate mosques/ashrams, temples and make them clean while dont replicate these qualities in the daily life as well.
it was refreshing to see good pavements, nice well maintained clean buildings, no garbage and no gutter flowing for a change.
I think he might have had what you call a hard hippie life style before and now he is getting older like all of us
yup well said
I like your T-shirt with Ganpati bappa
Thanks.
Good coverage video ..Namaskar Thanks
Monasrovar,,,named after the Holy lake up at mount khailash
You are real tourist sir
❤️❤️Gabriel Traveler❤️❤️
Vlog Music No Copyright India vlogs are cool

Only religions require subscription, dharma doesn't.
very true
Yeah. You can pick and choose when things suits you.
What is the meaning of dharma ?
Welcome_in _Saharanpur : Dharma can be defined as, law of nature
And what is meaning of religion ?
Can you add a link in the description to your old video from the first time you were here?
There are a few old ones, here they are: th-cam.com/users/gabejedmosearch?query=Sivananda

Would you recommend staying there?
Please brother🙏 call "Ganga" not ''.any how nice video.god bless you.om namah shivaya 🚩🚩🚩🚩💐💐💐💐
gud vedio my dear frnd thanks🙏👍
I really don’t get the infatuation of getting up so, so early at ashrams when it’s still dark outside. There’s plenty ot time from sunrise to sunset to do everything.
Seen so many times n stayed also
Do you know any Ashrams that do long term? I'm trying to dedicate at least a year to study and practice. I'm not financially well off to be able to pay, so looking for something free of currency. Any advice?
This ashram is also free of cost even food
Its interesting how little nature is there, concrete everywhere, not a very appealing place to stay. My idea of a beautiful ashram is beautiful gardens and forests with beautiful humble dwellings.
There are some other ashrams in the area that are further outside of the town and more in nature.
It is on a small hill. If it were not concrete, there would be a lot of erosion. It was all natural earlier. It is heaven on earth. Jai Swami Shivananda!
The place experiences heavy rain for 4 months
OMG I have the same shirt.❤️💜🌺
Gabriel,i think its time you explore Andaman & Nicobar islands .Trust me ,you wont be disappointed !!!
I visited the Andamans in 2006, really awesome. You can't visit the Nicobar islands though.
oh cool..How about lakshwadweep ?
you visited more places than any other Indians if you travel all over the year and I want to know that what is your Job how you will manage your money.
Hi, see this video: th-cam.com/video/D5joCrtdLWs/w-d-xo.html
Sant Kirpal Singh, said I go around every morning from 3 a.m. to 6 a. m. to give Grace, but all are asleep.
Would p refer to stay /spend the balance,, last days in Rishikesh pl. 😊
haridwar hotels like radision ,devnadi, trishul are best for stay
I want to move to an ashram or somewhere too. Ty
The River name is Ganga not a Ganges
Rohit Jadhav Ganga is for Indians. Foreigners call it Ganges.
th-cam.com/video/Hm881EZIdEk/w-d-xo.htmlm3s
No the goddess name is Ganga, and in english the name of the river is Ganges. Both are correct of course
Ok..Sorry
No need!!! People like me who love India call her Maa Ganga..but people in the west don't know always those things....Peace to you brother!!
Are you planning to visit Kerala?
Dear ,Can you conform me one day stay expenses with meal..
When will you leave India?
I'm not much of an early morning person either... I don't suppose they have a late morning/early afternoon ashram program for late risers 😏
Shivananda ashram has programs spread throughout the day till 9.00 pm
Nice 👍🏽
Gabriel, when will you visit Ahmedabad, Gujarat??
WTF is there in Gujarath? I mean Dhokla/Fafda.. that's it. It's a dry state (no alcohol).. no meat.. just because it was Gandhi's state. People (most of them) always thinking about money and ways to get others money..Food with loads of chillie & jaggery combined making it taste horrible.. most importantly it is feku's state - who fooled the nation by making false promises ( btw I was feku supporter before)..
Gab- don't even touch this state with barge pole.. there are hell lot of better places in India ( and abroad) to visit.. don't waste your time going there. There the people (most of them) will just be after your money. That's it..
MrNiceGuy96 you seem to be MrChutiyaGuy.
@ Mr. Niceguy. Your name suggests you must be a nice guy. But your views suggest you are fucking DIRTY GUY
Just wondering are you a charsi or take take drugs because your mind doesnt seem to function in a normal manner
ARSEHOLE !!!
Hey Gabriel you can explore yogda ashram in Ranchi Jharkhand
Awesome video buddy! How much longer are you in india for? We are planning on going there in couple months.
I won't be in India too much longer, a couple more weeks maybe.
Mt. Kalash, I think, was in India 🇮🇳 before China occupied in 1965 now unfortunately Hindu Pilgrimages has to take Visa from China.
You are pronouncing wrong the name Ganga 🙏
However it's great intro Shared by you. 👍
Well doing.
Where is it??
may I ask how much you decided to pay for the 9 or 10 day retreat you did in december? and did you pay them cash or how? thanks so much also for the very interesting video!!!! much love
I definitely paid in cash, but I don't remember how much since that was a long time ago.
shivanand ashram jagdalpur CG nice video
Try to see Isha yoga centre Ashram, near Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. Check some videos of Sadhguru. He has great wisdom.
He can give insights about life in general, yoga, non-duality.
hi Gabriel, I like your videos i have watched almost all of your videos, i want to know what attracts you or the west towards india? thanks for making such videos.
Looks very quiet, peaceful, clean place. Where are all the people ! 😱
All have attained samadhi 😈
@@rajeevchauhan1821lol
Do we have to pay to stay in the asram and for the retreat?? If yes how much it it roughly??
They operate on a donation basis, so it's up to you to decide how much you pay. That's how the Sivananda ashram works. Not all ashrams will be like that. Some might have a specific daily price.
just wanted to know what is the procedure for being able to stay in the ashram .
Go to their website and e-mail them for request to stay in ashram
@@rishikeshpatel7837 thanku for the information
@@Unknown-fn6vq you are welcome
Om Namah Bhagabate Shivananday.
Great videos. But whats the wheather like in rishikesh?
It depends a lot on the season. October, November, March and April are the best months, warm and sunny. December to February is mild with warm or cool days and cool nights. May and June will be hot as hell. July to September can be monsoon rains or else hot and humid.
Are u planning for nepal abc this year
No, I've done the ABC trek twice already: th-cam.com/video/hLbhHk44y7Y/w-d-xo.html
When I go back to Nepal I will plan to trek to EBC. But not sure when I will do that.
Come to Girnaar,Gujarat.🙆🙆
8k vues.......imagine if the title was My experience in a Harem !!
hey wassup man how u doing
Come To tehri
Very nice video... but just a little correction.... Hindu is not a religion but a way of life..... its the sanatan dharma which is into 'seeking' than 'believing'.... oldest continual form of human civilisation !
Thanks , bro make along with talk guru shishya like for our knowledge
Was Sivananda a disciple of Ramakrishna?
Charles Roberts ...not direct desiple ......they lived in different times .....
I am from West Bengal. I am 72 years, want to stay my rest of life in spiritual atmosphere. What is the rules and regulation. Pl let me know.
i think for that you must visit ashram in rishikesh and they will guide you further
You miss the Jodhpur Bishnoi community we Bishnoi save and love animals and tree's
Some people don't solve the all over India problem because India is a large country
Thanks for the great video
I am interested to visit there...how could we take permission ahead...any contact details
Try this website: sivananda.org/
@@GabrielTravelerVideoshi! i know this video was made years ago so i hope you see this, but i went on this website & they don't list an Ashram in Rishikesh. i tried simply googling but i get notices of fraudulent websites!
could you please help direct me to the right one? 🙏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
@@marianav9655 It looks like this is the full list of their ashrams around the world: sivananda.org/locations/ashrams/
@@GabrielTravelerVideos thank you so much for your reply! 🙌🏽
correct me if i'm crazy tho, i don't see the Rishikesh location in that list, at all! 🤔
that's why i thought there had to be a different page 🙈
@@marianav9655 I see what you mean, I don't see it either. Maybe it's just listing the other ashrams and not the main one? I haven't been there in years so I have no idea if it's still in operation, but it seems like it would be. Good luck!
do they charge for learning yoga or not???
I talked about that at 8:12 in the video.
welldone nice 👌 beautiful 👍
How many times hv u been to Rishikesh & why?
I'm not sure exactly how many times but maybe 7-8 different visits. Just because I like it there. :)
Gabriel Traveler What is it about the place that u like so much? Has it changed u spiritually?
ASHARAM IS HEALTH WITH WEALTH LONG LIFE AGE MY GRANDFATHER AGE 113 YEARS IN ASHARAM
Can we stay there permanently?
It depends where you're from. If you're from the United States you can get a 10-year visa, but you can only stay for six months at a time and then must leave and can re-enter. If you're from many other countries such as Canada, countries of Europe, etc. then the maximum visa you can get is six months.
That ashram is a ghost-town. No people. Nothing happening. Why? Where is everyone?
