Following the ancient practices and Vedic rituals, the daily routine here begins at 3:30 AM with collective prayers followed by special “Gayatri Mantra chanting & Sun Meditation” along with the darshan of Akhand Deepak (lamp). Yagya, a Vedic ritual, is performed every morning, which reminds us about the Vedic days in the ashrams of the Rishis.
Two meals are offered free of cost here to every visitor and resident in the kitchen of Param Vandaniya Mataji. Morning and afternoon time is scheduled for lectures and discourses with practical and field work trainings programs. Two special kinds of meditations are also performed everyday – Jyoti Avadharan Sadhana in the afternoon and the Naad Yoga Sadhana in the evening for 15 minutes.
Apart from the trainees, Shantikunj is visited by thousands of visitors from all walks of society to experience the divinity within themselves. The spiritually purified and energetic ambiance here attracts and impresses everyone who has ever visited this place.
