Spread over in some some 63 Acres, Art of living, situated 21kms from Bangalore, and started in 1986, is a well-known Ashram globally among all those who want spiritual awakening or attain enlightenment, all who want to sit and do meditation, or just sit in the vicinity of the Nature and feel the magic of great creation. All you can feel once you are in the Art of Living campus. Thousands of people throng everyday to get the glimpse of Sri Sri or at least visit the campus and feel that Sri Sri is there only. He is of, course, a magical personality and when you sit there in the evening while Sri Sri giving discourse or answering peoples question about love, pain, sufferings and success you will get immersed in the talk. It is a place to come by leaving everything for a day and connect to the Supreme Personality, the Supreme Lord Krishna or Shiva or whoever one believes in while meditating. It is like a Vaikutha for the seekers. The campus having hundreds of birds species and equal number of medicinal other plants. There are everything for all those who visit there, the shopping centers, food centers, meditation centers, walking lanes, and many more thongs that get you peace that is what we all go there for - to get a mental peace. There is a big open-air arrangements as you enter, straight from the gate, where there is lake having swans swimming. what a spectacular view. It looks awesome around. There is a main mediations, big Dome-type house called Vishalakshi Mandapam. During rain Sri Sri address His disciple in this Mandapam only. Otherwise there is a big open space in front of the Mandapam only where Sri Sri whenever He is in the Ashram, meets people and addresses them mainly in the evening by 5 PM onwards. Any one can join the discourse and feel blessed.

Visiting the centre is never planned, but every time its a refreshing feeling. There are no strict rules of meditation, but surprisingly the place makes it so easy to get a few minutes to hours of meditation. You can reach the centre easily as its located in the campus itself. The way is well marked with names, directions. As you walk the ramp, lined up with tree 🌲 on both sides. There are little patches of greenery. So I visit here often with family for a fresh air.

Very calm and peaceful place.you can visit this place and half day would be enough for the visit but if you want to spend more time you can pay visit for a day. You can prebook for accomodation and join any sadhana plan as they have multiple plans. They have meditation center, shiva temple ,organic farming, and small garden area.Over all enjoyed the half day stay.

Beautiful place and a nice meditation place. You have a shopping complex inside where you can get khadi clothes like Kurtis and sarees but they are quite expensive.One can purchase ayurvedic stuffs similar to patanjali.

In the outskirts of our bengaluru, feel the deep rest for your mind and body. Ancient gurukul, lake, desi gowshala(almost all bread of cows are preserved), elephant, horse, peacock, ....Many a time just by coming close to the ashram, stress from the body and mind is disappeared.Wanna see the peek of ashram, it is packed with national and international. Ancient ways the yagya are perfomed and meditating in these mantras gives solace to the mind and body. The best part no panic is created and handled by the volunteers.You can easily spent a day here with your family.In the last bengaluru folks dont miss the beauty. Spent some time in parmaculture, chemical free framing and with less usage of water.

Review №58

AOL ashram is like a oasis in a city which is known for its congestion and painstakingly slow traffic. At AOL one can revel in the experience of being one with the Nature. If you are tired of your hectic daily schedule and seeing just buildings all the time, then do spend some time at AOL and treat your soul with serene greenery and peace. If you are lucky you may have Darshan of Sri Sri Guruji also.

Crowded place with north Indians or from other state people. Apart from that the employee are also from other state as it create negative impact on the centre.

Review №77

Such a serene and peaceful place to be. Since the place is located outskirts of the city it would be a perfect getaway for friends and family to spend some amazing time with each other. There are lot of places to visit in here which you could do it by taking shuttle service provided or just by exploring it by a walk. You would find yourself always surrounded the beauty and the pleasantness of mother nature. There are even some food joints where you could enjoy the multiple cuisines. Although the place seems to be located somewhat outside the city you would easily get city busses as well as cabs. I would definitely recommend this place to all my fellow Bengalurians to visit and have a great time there.

Review №78

The name says it all. When you visit this place you feel like you are in a different world I’m not exaggerating but the names of the places within the ashram are in sanskrit and even in the cloth shops you’ll find Indian ethnic wears but not western wears. The place is calm and peaceful, few canteens are also available near the entrance. People from abroad come here to find themselves. It’s the best place for those who seek peace, calm and Indian culture. The structure of the buildings within the ashram region is also unique.

I shifted to bangalore 1 month back and this is the first review am doing from bangalore.My roommates usually used to go here once in two weeks and i was wondering what is there that are so fond of.This time i decided to go with them and now i get to know why they go there frequently , the Aashram is situated on the hill and covers almost 800 acre there is no official data of the area but this is from the sources , so you can imagine how humongous it is.It has 2 wheeler and 4 wheeler parking paid ones.as you entered there are multiple hut type structure created to enjoy the Sun Set and meditate at the same time also it has a little pond and water fountain which will make you feel the breeze in evening.We were enough lucky on our visit because we got a chance to meet the Guru itself and experience his presence.Iy was a great experience when the Guru started the Q&A session followed by a Meditation session of 25 Minutes where i really felt something is different here i was able to feel so many things which inever felt when i did meditation before.Things you to see.Vishala Canteen( must try Herbal Tea)Annapoorna Kitchen and Dining Hall (Pocket friendly meal )Vishalakshi Mantap a Must see palace.Krishna Kutir – The Ayurvedic SpaThere are some meditation program for which you can enroll out of whichmost frequently opted one is the Happiness Program.So thats my Experience.Let me know if your experience in Comment.

Very calm and peaceful place. If you are not part of Sri Sri Gurudev , you can pay a day visit. Good for family trip with kids. Lots of duck openly roaming , your kid will definitely enjoy . Canteen is also available inside , they serves good and tasty food. We tried paneer manchurian dal n rice , all were tasty. You can also prebook for accomodation and join any sadhana plan . They have meditation center, shiva temple ,organic farming, n small garden area. Must try evening hot snaks ,samosa, sabudana bada n lemon juice all are tasty . Over all enjoyed the half day stay.

What I call as Temple of Meditation and Knowledge, the central place of the International Centre, called Ashram (where there are no efforts involved and we can be our true self) Vishalakshmi Mantap has been charged by lakhs of meditators led by Pujya Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ji and in turn get themselves charged too. Visit once and I bet you will come back again and again. Jai Gurudev

This is a great place to meditate, spend a weekend or have a tour. It has got shops, cafeterias and every evening there is Sri Sri s Satsang. This place is huge. The kitchen called Annapurna serves pure veg fresh meals to all. Basava is the accommodation area and is very neat, clean and comfortable. The attraction is the Vishalakshi Mantapa which is a huge dome and most of the sessions happen here.
