Details

Experience a deeply transformative pilgrimage to the sacred Rikhia Ashram in Bihar, India, where the ancient traditions of yoga are lived and practiced every day. Guided by Swami Karma Karuna, this 14-night retreat offers a rare opportunity to celebrate Diwali, the Festival of Light, while immersing yourself in the profound practice of Tattwa Shuddhi Sadhana within the Bihar School of Yoga tradition. Designed for those seeking inner growth, spiritual renewal, and a deeper connection with themselves, this retreat invites you to step away from the busyness of everyday life and embrace the simplicity of authentic ashram living. Through meditation, mantra, Yoga Nidra, Karma Yoga (selfless service), and daily yogic practices, you'll experience a supportive environment that nurtures mindfulness, self-awareness, and personal transformation. Whether you are visiting India for the first time or returning to a place that feels like home, this journey offers an authentic cultural and spiritual experience unlike a typical yoga retreat. Surrounded by a welcoming international community and guided by experienced teachers, you'll discover the wisdom, peace, and inspiration that arise from living the yogic lifestyle in one of India's most respected spiritual centers. Return home feeling refreshed, grounded, and inspired, with practical tools and timeless teachings to support your wellbeing and spiritual practice long after the retreat has ended.

Rikhiapeeth is situated in a remote village, twelve kilometres from the renowned temple town of Deoghar, Jharkhand. It is the tapobhumi of the great spiritual luminary and exponent of Yoga, Paramahansa Satyananda, who is renowned world-wide for his specialised and unparalleled contribution to Yoga, Tantra and the spiritual sciences.

In keeping with the yogic and spiritual legacy he left behind, the sprawling ashram has evolved into a vibrant epicentre where serious yoga lovers and sincere spiritual seekers from all walks of life, flock to experience the peace, harmony and true joy of living a Yogic lifestyle.

Testimonials

"When one travels with ‘Anahata’ you are received with warmth and loving openness upon arriving in India…. to feel that all your needs will be taken care of with respect and most importantly to begin to embrace the ‘India experience’ knowing that someone is ‘looking out for you’ ~ Savita Saraswati

Savita Saraswati, Australia

“The course has been taught with such simplicity and preciseness that even a novice like me can relate to this process and get the essence of it in a week’s time. Thank a lot.” “Although the course of PV is an advanced course, I found it excellent to help with one pointed focusing. It also enhanced my awareness of prana and the “wasting” of it in every day life. So there are many practical applications to people in the Western world as well. The preparations for the practice (asanas and pranayama) were very helpful. The prana practices built on each other while also learning some physiology, prana vayus, chakra awareness, and mudras. I highly recommend this course to anyone wishing to gain awareness.” Tattwamayi

Tattwamayi, USA

“For me this course has been an experience rather than a course. PV is a higher practice and I came with no expectations but only an open mind. Swami KK simplified the process and teaching for us. She also set realistic expectations. All this without diluting the depth of classic teachings of yoga. Her balance of practice and theory was apt. I felt that she and her team made sure all of us were well taken care of for our personal concerns with learning and our stay in the ashram. Thanks for being a channel of positive energy and smiling faces. Thanks for the channel for the higher learning of yoga.” ~Bramhmachittam

Bramhmachittam, India

“What is real? How can I find inner peace, meaning and hope? Go to Rikhiapeeth! I completed both courses, Chakra Sadhana and PV and highly recommend both as taught or channelled by the skilled, knowledge Swami Karma Karun and her assistants, Garuda Chaitanya and Shambhavi. I feel very satisfied and blessed that I found much greater understanding and learned practical techniques. I very much appreciate the structure of the courses so that we touched on advanced techniques, but always came back to the basics and we were urged to apply the concepts in our daily lives. The teaching was compassionate, highly skilled as well as down to earth and full of contagious energy and enthusiasm for the subjects. I found ways to access inner peace within myself at that subtle, deeper level. The ashram experience was also invaluable. Overall a great opportunity if you are looking for more in your life.” ~Chaitanya
