Magical Location
A Magical Location in Nature
In the midst of the mountains, deep in the forest, at the heart of a beautiful ecological farm, a magical space for spiritual practice, in tune with nature.
The Center is situated in the cradle of yoga – India, the enchanting land of rituals and wonder. Near the border between Tamil Nadu and Kerala, the two Southern most states, we are located 1800m high, 12 km from a sweet hill station – Kodaikanal.
Meditation Retreat in Nature
Overlooking a magnificent view, surrounded by fruit trees and flowers, with the background sound of a running water fall, our vision is to allow Nature in Practice. We aim to combine and promote spiritual growth with the experience of harmonious living and being in nature. Our practice hall was designed especially to support inner work, built with much love using natural materials, around a huge wild rock.
As a part of our holistic approach the center is located away from traffic and modern pollution, in a small ecological community, were environmental ideals are put in to practice.
Living in Nature
The farm grows organic coffee, banana, avocado, and many other fruit trees, small bamboo is growing also. Other organic farming is in progress and we hope that this will be the main source of vegetables, herbs and spices for our daily use. We produce organic milk and other dairy products by feeding the farms cows with the locally grown grass. Furthermore, cow dung and urine is used for creating better compost and also in construction.
A Real Paradise
The farm is located between two flowing rivers which at one point meet. They form many natural pools and other magical spots. The scenery varies dramatically from one area to another, from lush green to exposed open spaces. Visiting Karuna Farm, one is likely to see monkeys, cats, dogs, small squirrels and if you’re lucky you may see big red wild-squirrels too. There are many birds around; one kind of bird called “whistling school boy” that is absolutely charming, singing especially during sunrise and sunset.
