When Swami Shankarananda met Baba Muktananda in Delhi in early 1971 he immediately decided to visit his ashram in Ganeshpuri outside of Bombay. That visit lasted more than three years and transformed his life.
In many cultures it is customary for people to spend a few weeks in an ashram each year to recharge their spiritual batteries. People have sought spiritual rejuvenation in ashrams and monasteries for thousands of years. Ashrams of great beings are mystery schools, representing the highest truth. They are spiritual homes, cauldrons of transformation, spiritual retreats and holy sites where blessings are given and received.

Shiva Ashram, Mt. Eliza

It is tremendously rewarding to spend time in the company of an accomplished master at his or her ashram. Forty-five minutes outside of Melbourne on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula, the Shiva Ashram is a centre of learning, physical work, prayer, practice, meditation, spiritual growth and transformation. Under Swami Shankarananda's guidance, students develop the tools they need for their everyday life. The transformation affects health, work and relationships as well as spirituality.
Shiva Ashram has courses on meditation, hatha yoga, Kashmir Shaivism and other philosophies, and the Shiva Process. Spiritual values such as compassion, service to others, respect for each other and love for the inner Self are nurtured, with a focus on Self-knowledge, spiritual transformation, meditation and freedom.
You are invited to come and spend time with Swamiji at Shiva Ashram, a nourishing environment that encourages spiritual growth. You are welcome to participate in our courses, programmes and daily activities.
