VOLUNTOURISM / KARMA YOGA INFO HERE

Consciousness Yog : a Return of the Self is an intensive Yoga Retreat embedded in an epic experience of ancient esoteric Yogic Teachings, Therapies, Technologies & Tours – curated, produced & guided by Niradhara Amma, Director & Spiritual Mother of SwAr Ashram,  pictured here and in the banner, the small square passageway at the farthest East end of the Maheshvar Fort on the banks of Narmada.  Begin the InnerEvolution! YACEP : 50 hours CEUs

The journey of this carefully curated retreat allows people to tune into their own Truth, to feel it, to be it, to live it, within the safety of its guided environment. It opens the path of the heart. As traumas, resentments, blockages are touched upon with love and compassion, the door to the True Self opens wider. Authentic Yogic Sadhana recognizing the duality of contraction/ expansion, inhalation/ expiration, restriction/ release, sun/ moon, energy/ matter, not only helps this door to fully open, but also guides the you to walk straight through it to fully live in your authentic Self, unmasking the illusion of duality itself, releasing the conditionings which had been attached to the persona into Pure Conscious Loving Awareness.

The end of this journey is the beginning. We find that going through the door of our heart transforms trauma from fear to love. As we become healed, there is intergration and equanimity. You gain an inner illumination that pours forth into the world. innerYajnya is lit. With this many find their inner gift and feel called to share this gift with the world, healing others from the same traumas. INQUIRE HERE

You already Know more than You Know. You can Create Anything. the Womb of the Universe is inside you. THIS mysterious place pictured here resonates with sacred womb energy we envelop ourselves in, on sacred pilgrimage by boat excursion on Consciousness Yatra. it is an ancient Mandir set into the Center of the Narmada River aka as the Center (Womb) of the Universe. not just the Center of India (which it is also) but the actual spot where 2 major leylines converge, from the Center (Womb) of the Earth to the Center (Womb) of the Galaxy which then intersects all along the Golden Means Latitude of the Planet (which is exactly where the Narmada flows. This is a Powerful Ancient Stargate written about in the Shivapurana. Amma Niradhara will tell you all about it. and YOU will EXPERIENCE IT!

Experience Hatha, Raja, Jnana and Bhakti Yoga-s at the heart of the Motherland, on the banks of the most sacred River Narmada, among ancient important Temples and Ashrams mentioned in many sacred texts written thousands of years ago.  The Source Energies are palpable here, Maheshvar means the dwelling place of Shiva & Narmada Devi is His daughter. She the only place in the world where the Stones known as Shivalingams were formed – a firey meteor occurance millions of millenia ago melted the Riverbed rock which was then cooled by the flowing water. 

The legend goes that millions of years ago, a meteor scorched the Earth here, melting and fusing the layers of rocks creating a unique fusion: crypto-crystaline quartz.  This meteor-skid formed the Nimar Valley.  Shiva, from his vantage point of Amarkantak in the mountains, upon seeing the scar on Mother Earth (Prthivi), shed tears, that flowed down, forming the River along this bed.  This became known as Narmada, the delightful River-Daughter of Shiva.  The cool water flowing over the molten rock, solidified the dual-tone fusion stones into oblong ovoids that can be found in no other place on Earth. These stones dubbed Shivalingams,  are the product of pure fire-water Shiva-Shakti Energies and support Kundalini activation electromagnetically, working with the body’s Pranic/ electromagnetic field by resonance with all 5 elements contained in them.  All Shivalingam connect by magnetic energy to each other by the Pranic Field anywhere in the world, in all places and times. This massive magnetic intelligence is what makes this stone, in my opinion, the most powerfully accurate dowser.

So holy, ancient and important are these Sacred Stones, that Narmada is spared the tourism traps that would have surely depleted the finite resource of the Shivalingams.

These Sacred Stones are revered as pure Shiva Energy taken on a simple elemental form, and can be found in nearly every Temple throughout India.  The bare footprints of the greatest Rishi-s and Maharaji-s of all time linger in the atmosphere where they have meditated sitting on these very stone ghats, among the countless ancient Shivalingams that are installed since time immemorial along the Riverbank and Ghats.  This is our idyllic authentic environment which remains pure to its roots amidst a rapidly developing India.

A unique and valuable offering of SwAr Ashram’s pilgrimage immersion retreats is the authenticity of our location in a non-tourist part of india where westerners rarely tread.

This is a small holy rural town and more uniquely, we are a heritage town with an ancient Fort on the River Narmada.  So aside from the religious significance of the River and all Her Temples, there is also the heritage significance of the mighty QueenAhilya who had a long peaceful reign of the Malwa Region (covered what is now 5 states in India) she moved her Palace here nearly 300 years ago, reviving a formerly Mughal Fort by patronizing artists. She is still venerated and beloved by the entire town which thrives today and her descendants have revived her special art of handloom weaving.  She built the structure at the easternmost end of her Fort, now called SwAr Ashram after the last Guru who inhabited it.  We will tour and teach you all about this, the stories, the temples, the surrounding nature and river and stones, with experiences you will never forget.

Here is SwAr Ashram (click if the map doesnt come up on this page) located in Maheshvar MP India on the banks of the River Narmada.  Niradhara Amma has lived here 12 yrs and directs this micro-ashram entrusted to her by Guru Swami Anantram whom the Ashram is named for, SwAr is an acronym for his name. 

There is a saying attributed to Sage Sri Markendeya, a devotee of our River Narmada – one must dip in the Ganga 7 times to become cleansed of karmas but one may only glance once at Narmada to get fully purified.  It is said that Ganga herself comes here at night to purify herself in the Narmada, dressed as a black cow, she returns each morning to her own riverbed dressed as a white cow.

As a Yogini in 1973, since the age of 13, when the Motherland called her in 2007, Niradhara did not hesitate to return to her ancient hOMe of certainly many births.  Here, she discovered, among the great Gurus of our time, there is a timeless Mother, the River Narmada Herself, and a mighty Maharani (Queen) who built the Fort that now encompasses SwAr Ashram on its easternmost corner.

These immense Feminine Energies nurture us along with our guests here at SwAr Ashram.  We invite you to join us at this highly spiritual, secret location, for immersive Yogic guidance with Amma Niradhara.

Guest Teachers are encouraged to contact ASAP if you wish to bring guests, Amma curates a plug-n-play retreat & profit sharing plan that she can tailor to your specific requirements.
