Swami Samarpan Ashram - Ashram in Rishikesh - Tehri Garhwal, India

Perfect location if we want a quiet and peaceful place ! Far away from the noisy road, car and people... Private access to the river, it is very nice! Rooms are basics but was enough for me ! Swami is adorable and very kind! Just be careful, it is not a hostel, it is still an ashram and the gate is closed on the evening... :)

I spent 10 days at Swami Samarpan Ashram and it was a great experience. The place is quiet and clean, perfect for people looking to deepen their yoga practice and knowledge. The room is simple but has all the necessary for a comfortable stay. While there you can also help out by doing some Karma yoga. It is a really relaxing place and a nice break from the noisy streets and traffic. There is an option of 3 meals a day for a very small cost. The food is sattwic, purely vegetarian and very fresh. During hot summer days you can enjoy a dip in the water stream just next to the main garden, it has a private access so you won't be disturbed by anyone from outside.The Swami is very kind and will go out of his way to help you. I highly recommend this ashram and I hope to go back very soon!

Here you have the option to dedicate yourself for the ashram, do physical labor and follow the strict ashram lifestyle. In return you can stay here for free of cost required that you demonstrate your true dedication for the place. This ashram is not suited for people seeking a comfortable vacation, but can be highly rewarding for people who are looking for the true essence of yoga.

I had an amazing stay at Swami Samarpan Ashram. I found exactly what I was looking for and couldn't be more happy about the outcome. I was looking to deepen my knowledge and Sadhana through Kundalini Tantra practice. I walked up to the Ashram and talked to Guruji who offered me a plan how I can achieve that. He personalized my stay so I could get the most out of my experience. Guruji hired teachers to give me private classes twice a day. I participated at puja, karma yoga and meditation. The Ashram is situated away from the Rishikesh busy area surrounded by nature. The food is truly sattvic, program is simple but provides enough time to rest, study or go for a natural walks. After finishing my program i felt purified, happy and balanced. I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for authenticity, peace, knowledge, spiritual experience, and wishes to learn from well established system of yoga and tantra. I hope to be back, Much gratitude. Namaste.

A true gem ! Peaceful, authentic, without pretension. I have been staying here for almost a month now and I loved every day of it. I couldn't put in words the way in which the atmosphere and the lifestyle here has deepened the quality of my sadhana. I was completing a kundalini tantra yoga TTC in some commercial school down the road and wasn't too impressed with the teachings there.. I was thinking Rishikesh had just gone down the drain after so many years of increased tourism and commercialisation of Yoga. Luckily I decided to take a walk up this road into the mountain area to check out this Ashram. I found there everything I was hoping for and much more ! Here lives a true Yoga Guru, living the simple and austere yogic life. At this time, Guruji is performing intense sadhana and is observing Mauna. So I've had the chance to help out in the ways I can and to benefit from the vibes of his own practice. The schedule here is very helpful to maintain a balance between yoga, meditation and karma yoga. Another big plus point is that the food served is truly Sattvic, simple, low salt, very little and simple spices, no onion, no garlic, no complicated mixes.. I lived in a few ashrams and monasteries, and never found a place that truly offered sattvic food like they do here.. I have also taken private classes with one of their teachers to cover the material that was skipped over in my previous kundalini tantra ttc.. and I really wish I had learned it all here from the beginning. Their teachings go way beyond the reference textbooks.. since Guruji's Guru is Swami Niranjananda Saraswati.. he learned directly from the source and has been practicing for over the last 30 years, developing and expending according to his own realizations. I know very well this is not the kind of place most people are looking for. I has nothing to do with most of the now popular areas of Rishikesh. They will find it too quiet, too austere maybe. But this place is an expression of the true Spirit of Yoga..! I am so happy and grateful such place exist to carry the tradition and make it possible for people like me to experience it.

Swami Samarpan Asharm is great place to learn authentic traditional philosophy and roots of Yoga and Tantra. Here you will be able to have a system and holistic view to the world with teachings from Guruji Avadhuta Samarpananadaji do selfless service to community. The philosophy of yoga and Tantra, with holistic disciplined approach like timely, Satvik food, Poojas and more. Here one connects with nature more in the Himayalyas Tapovan is a place great sages did dhyana in 7 days living in nature, Yogasan Pranayama KarmaYoga than what could not learn from decades of colonial education. It's a great place to learn ancient philosophy, unlearn conventional education and teachings. I was the only Indian student and that too coming from USA. I could not find such education anywhere before either online or from any other guru. I was not surprised to see west moving and embracing Yoga. I highly recommend this course to destress, get infinite potential and mindset as well through ancient proven philosophy simplified by Guruji Avadhutaji Guruji avadhutaji simplifies all the doubts about life yoga, shiva, sufferings and pains, who am I, simplifies path of liberation on advaita perspectives #OmNamahShivay

I was Swami Samarpan Ashram in 2017 and 2018 feeling good due to natural Himalayan mountains around the Ashram and it's hospitality. The Ashram has Samarpan School Of Yoga and it has beautiful Ayurveda treatment place.but in winter cold and they do not have heating system. Summer is super cool. Ashram has beautiful banana garden which is unique in Rishikesh in my experience. Swamiji Samarpan doing special Panchagni Sadhana since 2017 and I love to be in Panchagni Meditation with Swamiji. I do yoga pranayama meditations and karma yoga which is make me relax and my spiritual progress. Thank you Swamiji Master for ypur beautiful Ashram besides of the Secret and small river.

I took a one week course here after checking and comparing a lot of other ashrams in Rishikesh and got the impression that this one is the most authentic and staright forward. I had a wonderful time and got to learn a lot from great teachers at a traditional and authentic place.
