For over forty five years, the Siddha Yoga Ashram in Boston has been imbued with the powerful energy of spiritual practice, and the profound wisdom of the Siddha Yoga Gurus. The ashram was where, in 1980, Baba Muktananda began writing his book Secret of the Siddhas— a text that reveals the state of the Siddhas and explains the basic tenets of Kashmir Shaivism.
Over the years, the ashram has been a seat of residence for both Baba Muktananda and Gurumayi Chidvilasananda, and their presence is felt strongly throughout the building and the grounds.
Just as the ashram holds great value in the context of Siddha Yoga history, the building, appropriately, holds its own prestigious history. The interior and exterior structure, built in 1909, is considered by historians to be a beautiful and significant example of early 20th century workmanship in the Tudor Revival style.
The transformative atmosphere of the Siddha Yoga Ashram in Boston provides an optimal learning and teaching environment where Siddha Yogis can participate in the practices and engage in study and discussion groups while on retreat. One Siddha Yoga meditation teacher shared, “The Boston Siddha Yoga Ashram is a magical place that is perfectly suited for a spiritual retreat. The silence that permeates the halls, and the beauty and serenity of the grounds helps me to begin to turn inside the moment I cross the threshold. And retreat participants have shared with me that they were able to dive deeply in their practices because they felt totally supported by both the venue and the staff.”
Siddha Yoga Sadhana Retreats, Muktananda Dhyana Saptahs and other teaching events are held regularly at the Siddha Yoga Boston Ashram. We warmly invite you to experience the power of performing spiritual practices in this sacred setting.
