Come experience bhakti
The yoga of the heart — the practice of remembering who you really are, and the love you were made for. Lived in Rishikesh through song, wisdom, retreat and community.

Begin within
We spend our lives getting to know the world out there, and rarely meet the one in here — the self that has quietly watched all of it. Bhakti begins by introducing you to that self: not the body, not the passing weather of the mind, but the awareness underneath, which was never born and doesn’t end.
Then it does what the inward paths leave out — it reminds that self what it’s for. Not to sit alone, but to love. We practise it together, the oldest way there is — in song and study, in service and shared meals, in journeys and good company. Come as you are; curiosity is enough.

The Bhakti Ashram Experience
Three weeks of living the way the ashram lives. Mornings that start with singing, days filled with study and service, evenings that end together. It rearranges you, gently.
Next intake: 1–21 October 2026 — details & application on the Ashram page.
Once a year · every October
Kirtan Mela
Five evenings of song where the Himalayas begin.
Every October, singers and seekers from all over the world squeeze into one warm hall and sing until the walls hum. Free, like everything we do.
