ASHRAM MUNIVARA
Jnana Buda Siwa
Jnana Buda Siwa
Ashram Munivara was built for the spiritual community and founded by Master Ketut Arsana, a spiritual leader and healer whose life is a living testament to the sacred union of ancient wisdom and compassionate service. The ashram is a Jnana Buda Siwa ashram – Buda is the knowledge that comes from within and the knowledge of Shiva is how to materialise the spiritual knowledge into Yadnya. Jnana Buda Siwa songs and dances are performed by the students of the Ashram during our regular evening Pujas.
The Ashram community is locally based and is dedicated to spiritual learning and practices of Jnana Buda Siwa. Ashram Munivara allows the student to explore one’s potential and awaken the spiritual power within through these practices. The practices of Jnana Buda Siwa can be learnt and experienced during our regular Puja days. The Ashram serves three principal groups of people: the local devotees, the international devotees and the general public. Most live locally, and others travel from other islands and internationally.
The Ashram is open to the public and welcomes everyone with love regardless of race, religion, gender or philosophical learnings. Though The Ashram belongs to a Hindu lineage you do not have to consider yourself a Hindu to attend. Everyone can join our programs. To maintain the holiness and sanctity of the ashram, it is essential that visitors follow the established etiquette and dress codes during puja ceremonies. This ensure a pure atmosphere conducive to spiritual practice. Please visit our etiquette page.
Unlock the divine energy within through Sadhana.
Sadhana means the completion or carrying out, therefore through spiritual techniques such as through Tantra,
Mantra and Yantra we can unlock this divine energy.
The four paths of Yoga are Bhakti, Raja, Jnana and Karma Yoga. Yoga (asanas) are practiced at the Ashram. Yoga is a good form of practice to harmonise the system of the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects as well.
Munivara Student House has been built to accommodate those who wish to undertake spiritual studies at a deeper level. This accommodation is available for either individual guests or disciples to participate in puja, yoga, Ashram sadhana and retreats.
