Arunachala Ashrama, Nova Scotia

Founded in 1972 and located in the pastoral, serene Annapolis Valley, the Ashrama maintains a temple, Sri Arunachala Ramana Mandiram, and retreat facilities with guest rooms for individuals and families who wish to deepen their spiritual experience and stabilize themselves in the practice of Self-awareness and surrender. The retreat is open to all, regardless of religious belief or creed — including those of no particular faith who sincerely seek peace.

Although facilities are normally available from May to October, occasionally visitors can be accommodated during the winter months. Arunachala Ashrama is a non-profit organization serving the needs of sincere seekers in an informal, friendly environment. Accommodation is provided to friends and guests without any formal rate of charge. The Ashrama does accept donations from those who value its work and ideals.

We appreciate a fragrance-free atmosphere in the temple and residences.
