Welcome to
Vanvaas Retreat
The ancient Vedic text divided human life into four stages or Ashrams based on an individual's Karma and Dharma. These stages signify the duties to be practiced in one’s lifetime. On completion of the first three stages - Brahmacharya (disciplined life of student), Grihastha (social and family life) and Vanaprastha (Partial renunciation - moving away for the material ties) one enters the last stage of life which is completely devoted to God and away from worldly ties. This stage is known as Sanyasa (renunciation). During this period, one becomes completely free from all worldly obligations and gets absorbed in Bhagavata bhajan and sadhana. “Vanvaas: The Retreat” located in the peaceful realms of Rajaji National Park aims to provide an immaculate abode to people in the vicinity of the Ganga river so that they're able to achieve salvation while doing the work of religion and meditation.
