Spiritual

School of Ancient Wisdom, Devanahalli, near Bangalore

Situated 32 km from Bangalore, this haven of beauty and tranquillity offers weekend and one-day courses on a variety of spiritual and esoteric subjects such as The Seven Spiritual Planes of Nature and the Seven States of Matter, Yoga and Meditation, total Body, Mind Health and Stress Management.

Started in 1998 by Manize Sait, a former industrial engineer, the School is not aligned to any spiritual organisation, though it is influenced by Theosophy. Its major attraction, apart from the courses, is the wonderfully landscaped grounds that do homage to the full glory of nature, providing a tranquil and soothing atmosphere for spiritual inquiry. Flowering trees and plants and a forest pond with water lilies and golden fish refresh and rejuvenate jaded urban senses. The tiled cottages too are straight out of an English countryside. A bookshop, library, an ayurvedic doctor, inhouse astrologer and numerologist are other facilities on offer. The School forbids smoking, drinking and the consumption of non-vegetarian food within its premises.

Visitors are welcome to extend their stay before or after the beginning of the course. Sightseeing tours within Karnataka can be arranged. Groups can be offered custom-made programmes on a prior notice of two weeks.

Accommodation/food: The rooms are comfortable and clean with modern amenities. Food is simple but appetising vegetarian. Fees: Courses are free. Accommodation inclusive of food is Rs 750 per person per 24 hours, with Rs 350 on the day of departure. Fees for corporate and government bodies are higher. Therapies, astrological and numerological consultations are at extra cost. Contact: Ram Menon, School of Ancient Wisdom, Devanahalli, Karnataka. Ph: (080) 7682181/2. Mobile : 9845077128.

Bodhi Zendo, Kodaikanal, Tamil Nadu

A Zen meditation centre run by a Christian father is as integrative as you can hope for. And when it is located on the cool and beautiful hills of Kodaikanal, its attraction is real. Father Ama Samy, the Zen master, is of the Sanbo Kyodan lineage of Kamakura/Japan. At the Zendo, emphasis is on zazen (meditation), sama (work), study and community living. The daily schedule includes four to five hours of meditation, community work and time for private study. In addition, they have a day of silence and meditation once a week. The first weekend of each month (Fri–Sun) is a mini intensive retreat (called sesshin). There are also periodic longer retreats of 5-7 days duration. All are free to attend though the affable Father requests a prior notice of preferably two months, at least a month. The weather between April and June is pleasant, with cool evenings. Take a sweater along.

Accommodation/food: The Zendo can accommodate 30 people and tends to be full from December to May. Rooms are simple and austere and with single occupancy. Food is simple vegetarian. Fees: A nominal fee of Rs 200 per day is charged for food and lodging. But, says the thoughtful Father, lack of money should not stop you from coming.
