Guru of Ashram Munivara
Guru, in Hinduism, a personal spiritual teacher or guide. A Guru is fundamentally the “dispeller of darkness”
Born in the village of Padang Tegal, Ubud. Master Ketut Arsana grew up in a poor family, within this family was a tradition of Balinese healers passed down from Grandfather to Grandson called Balians or shamans. He began his healing practice within his community and later studied yoga and meditation. He wanted to become a religious teacher so he went to a school especially for Agama (religion). In school he became a top student at yoga and was teaching yoga in TVRI (television station) every week. Not many people were interested in yoga at that time but gradually more people came to learn and to see him as a healer.
He developed a more broader, universal practice of healing and spiritual knowledge and has been able to help countless local people and international visitors with their physical and spiritual problems.
The Ashram was established to further assist the spiritual needs of the seeker and to offer people from overseas the opportunity to fully experience his culture and to develop an understanding of Universal Spirituality.
Master Ketut Arsana is a Balinese Yoga Master, Usada Practitioner, Mahatma healer and spiritual teacher at Ashram Munivara. He is the founder of Ashram Munivara, Ubud Bodyworks and Om Ham Retreat.
He offered the Ashram to the local spiritual community as a place to gather and learn to serve the spiritual needs of the people. Throughout his entire life, he has devoted both time and money to local communities and currently travels around the world to help people.
