The Sri Aurobindo Yoga Mandir Ashram is situated in rural Thankot. It has been running for 18 years and currently homes roughly 100 people plus extras, with visitors coming and going as they search for and reach their various goals. It is completely self sufficient. It also makes money selling pashminas that they weave themselves, incense that they make, sewing, compost that is made and any excess grains, vegetables and milk products.
80ish of the current full time residents are children, all being schooled here. They are orphans.
We rise at 5am, however some start at 4.30am if they are milking cows or praying to the gurus of the ashram. Yoga is daily from 5.30am – 6.30am. Service is offered for an hour. The middle of the day can be used to do other jobs, reading, or meditation; whatever needs to be done. Service is again offered in the afternoons. The evenings are full as well with meditation four evenings a week and singing/chanting 3 evenings a week. The day ends at 9.30pm.
