Our Meditation Camps and Meditation Centers are in a way a New Age Ashram — neither modern nor old. We have various deprogramming meditation programs designed to bring you into consciousness, crafted and developed by Acharya Aashish keeping in mind the new modern man.
Acharya Aashish is an Enlightened Master and a Guru who, by the spiritual blessings of Bhagwan Nityanand, has dedicated his life to spreading the nectar of Meditation, Peace, Bhakti and Healing.
Meditation has the potential to unleash the power within you. Through the Shakti Path of Bhagwan Nityanand, Acharya Aashish makes this spiritual journey easy for you.
This is not a Yoga Center. Meditation has nothing to do with yoga — yoga exercises and meditation are two separate self-development systems. Yoga exercises are for the wellbeing of the body while meditation is for your entire being — your heart. Of course, yoga and free-hand fitness exercise is also taught here.
No, there is no membership. Since nothing is permanent, membership can never happen.
The meditation center is located in a peaceful neighborhood which has minimum nuisance and disturbance.
Calmness — calmness is all you need to face life. Meditation will not make you a helpless monk; in fact, it will make you a spiritual celebrity who celebrates life.
Core Benefits:
Regular meditation brings Enlightenment. Experience meditation — there is nothing like meditation.
Meditation takes you towards peace. If peace is found, nothing else matters — then nothing remains, then nothing else is really required.
All the meditation techniques are designed to reach towards continuous consciousness. Depending upon your body comfort and the willingness of your spiritual thirst, you can pick up a few meditation techniques and practice coming into consciousness. Each one of the meditation techniques is designed differently to make you reach toward inner silence.
No prior experience is needed. You will be taught meditation using specially designed lively meditation techniques filled with dance, music and silence, by meditation instructors under the guidance of Acharya Aashish.
You have to be 15 years and above to join meditation programs. Anyone is welcome — male, female, or bisexual. Teenagers between age 15 to 18 must be accompanied by an adult or guardian.
Children are required to play and explore life, which they do perfectly well — they do not need meditation. Meditation is required after 15 years of age, when the child within is gone.
Meditation will not affect your pregnancy in any way. In fact, meditation will help you reach peace and calmness which will help you carry your pregnancy with much ease. Pregnant women in their early stages must practice meditation — however, in their later stages they can practice meditation at home.
Online Meditation and Online Yoga are indeed an invitation to bring you towards the spiritual world. Online learning is never the real taste of learning — it is only a glimpse. Once you enroll online and continue to practice, this will create regularity of learning while being in the comfort of your home or office. But the real fun and real absorb of knowing happens when you surrender in front of a master, your teacher.
Only intelligent people come for meditation, because the fools run after outward peace which is never to be found. A true meditator can never be labeled as a follower — he becomes a leader. Our entire effort is to make you a leader and not a follower.
You will find intelligent people coming to meditate from all walks of life, from all religions, from all regions.
Meditation is for everyone. It has nothing to do with any religion or God. You could be of any faith — simply being human is more than enough to come into meditation.

Wearing a Fuchsia Colour meditation robe triggers the urge to meditate and creates a harmonious charged-up Aura. The robe is like a protector shield — it brings you into calmness and triggers the journey within with ease.
Fuchsia Colour Robes are available for Men and Women in Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large in different patterns. They are available at the counter shop in the Meditation Centre/Camps. Fabric: Cotton.
The mala acts like a commitment — it charges you to come and remain in consciousness. It is a reminder that you are a meditator. Once you wear the mala you will feel the difference.
Mala is available at the counter shop in the Meditation Center/Camps at ₹275 per piece. Wearing of mala is compulsory in the meditation center. It is available in one size which fits all and is not available on rent. The Mala is made of a pendant with a picture of Acharya Aashish with beads.
