The Ashram Mt Eliza

Yeh I agree with Peter. He put it nicely. Ive never been much of a spiritual person, but at the ashram there, it didn't matter for me. And Swamiji didn't just give me life changing lessons on meditation, but also the ability to bring meditation into my worldly life, not interfering with it at all. Only improving it immensely.The ashram gave me techniques to deal with my crappy emotions I have carried my entire life and shift them into happy uplifting emotions.I highly recommend giving this place a visit

I had no peace in my life. My mind whirled 24/7. I didn't know I wasn't peaceful, I just thought that was the way it was for everyone! I went along to a program and met Swami Shankarananda (Swamiji), his teaching provided hope and a way forward that was practical and achievable. The best action any one cant take is to learn how to meditate. Swamiji's book Happy for No Good Reason and the Learn To Meditate Course offered by the Sri Nityananda Ashram are helpful steps towards knowing yourself and living peacefully. The Sri Nityananda Ashram is a rich resource for spiritual seekers. Here you will find spiritual teaching to empower and transform your life that has stood the test of time. I encourage you to reach out to them as a warm welcome awaits you.

The Ashram has absolutely changed my life for the better. Every person I come into contact with here radiates a special energetic fragrance of which the residents call Shakti"; words not doing the feelings justice

When I first began meditating it was to help me with my depression and anxiety. I had been to a few classes around Melbourne, but hadn't really found what I was looking for until I came to the Ashram. As soon as I came to Satsang with Swamiji I knew I found what I was looking for! Swami Shankarananda is an incredible teacher of meditation and self inquiry. The self inquiry method that he and Devi Ma, developed together literally saved and changed my life. I have been with the Ashram for maybe three and a half years now, and continue to flourish and grow in the supportive environment created there. I wasn't able to find anything better suited to myself to help me with my depression and anxiety. Those two things are still a part of my life, but now I know that I am strong enough to deal with them through the tools I found at the ashram. And they certainly don't affect me nearly as much as they used to. If it wasn't for Swamiji Devi Ma and the Ashram I wouldn't be the person I am today!

I've attended the ashram regularly for over ten years, and I am happy to report this place is the real deal. Love is genuinely at the heart of everything that happens here. I highly recommend.

The ashram helped my daughter and I get through a difficult time. We felt supported and loved. We had lessons in meditation and self knowledge. Everyone was kind and giving which is the reason we kept going. Everyone there is unbelievably kind.

The ashram is the home of a great spiritual teacher, and is a resource for everyone seeking something other than the grind of daily life.I came in search of truth, and I found it. I have a deeper understanding of life now, and I am full of gratitude.

It's really interesting to read reviews on any product or service. Yes, this ashram did have some bumps in the road, but then again I don't know of any human, company, organisation, or government that hasn't. However for me, this place has brought me significant *self knowledge* and *personal awareness* that I have not found anywhere else. I have never been calmer than since I started going to the ashram. And after a very difficult life with enormous challenges, what I have discovered here cannot be compared with anything I have ever read or seen or heard. No one asks you to join or be or do anything. And the weekly programs are just so inspiring. We are ALL human, even you, me, and those at the ashram.

The ashram is a powerful meditation centre.It has personally transformed every cell of my being and I've witnessed it transform hundreds of others in the last 4 years I have lived here
