A paradise insulated from the outside world by magnificent natural formations.

Preserved from the encroachment of humanity by a deep gorge and lake on one side, and by verdant valleys and hills on the other. Through its declaration as a National Forrest Land, the International Ashram of Grand Master Choa Kok Sul will retain its solitude even while remaining in contact with and in proximity to the 'outside' world. Approximately 70 kilometers from Pune, near the small village of Nive, and approximately three and a half hours by road from Mumbai.

The Ashram is conveniently accessible to Mumbai's International Airport, as well as to railway and road. The GMCKS Arhatic Yoga Ashram is designed as a self contained project with well defined and separate areas for Spiritual Practice, common utilities and a residential area that provides comfort and privacy, and promotes fellowship among aspirants who seek to grow spiritually.

During the monsoons, waterfalls cascade down the steep mountainsides, rivulets gurgle across stone-strewn path and birds chirp good mornings.The green grass whispers to the breeze and cotton wool clouds come down to kiss the mountains. The rich colors of the brilliant sunsets almost give a glimpse of heaven and the elephant-head rocks gaze benevolently down the valley. In this magnificent, exclusive, isolated environment, Grand Master Choa Kok Sul has created the first International Center for intensive personal and spiritual development. In this pristine atmosphere an individual is inspired to evolve through the structured and guided intensive practice of Arhatic Yoga.
