Activities in an Ashram

Ashram is a place where one can introspect within oneself. The residents have to also work for the upkeep of the ashram. Even for a simple lifestyle in tune with nature, basic activities such as the following need to be undertaken,

• Providing the right atmosphere for spiritual studies and activities.
• Preparation of food for residents
• Cleanliness of the place
• Welcoming and providing hospitality to visitors
• Basic medical help
• And other such activities related to the well being of the residents.

At the Manapakkam Ashram of Shri Ram Chandra Mission, a scholar's training program is conducted on a regular basis to impart spiritual knowledge for people around the world. It is a free scholarship resident program meant for deserving spiritual aspirants who may not have the financial means to attend it.
