Re: any info about Tureya Ashram and Institute
Sun, August 3, 2008 - 12:09 AMI am going to visit the Tureya Ashram in a month to take their course in yoga therapy. My teacher in New York is a disciple of Swami Tureyananda and has been studying from his teachings for 4 year now. She is an amazing instructor and guide, and I though what better way to learn yoga and spirituality than to go directly to the source! I am very excited to study there since my teacher said she found her spiritual light at the ashram.
I found another forum post that might be useful to you in your search. I am quoting the text here. I hope that is ok? I found it on yoga forum here: www.yogaforums.com/forums/f...468.html.
"Greetings! I noticed this post on yoga forum and wanted to elaborate more about the Tureya Foundation. Many of my friends have asked me where I have studied yoga in India as they want a point of reference before they travel to another country with different social standards and many different lifestyles. I thought that this question might also be circulating around a large community as well, since by nature we are mostly a rational and questioning society. There are a few details I thought I should fill in, as the Tureya website does not seem to clarify on a few aspects of the community which I think are vital to anyone who is interested in visiting, perhaps studying at their ashram in India.
First: My experience with Tureya. I found the Tureya community 6 years back through an Indian friend. The two of us had studied together in college, yet she was born and raised in Tamil Nadu, India while I grew up in the US. Her father was a devotee of the Swami Sivananda lineage of yoga and was advancing his practice under the guidance of Swami Tureyananda. During my third visit to India my friend Priya and her father took me to meet swamiji in Kodaikanal. At that time the ashram was only known by word of mouth, so to speak, and you were only allowed into the ashram if you were known to the disciples or swamiji. I lived at the ashram for two months studying Kriya Yoga and swamiji’s revelation of Tantra yoga, but during my stay I saw many people turned away from the ashram who were seeking a path other than that of the spiritual life. At the ashram there were students from many different countries, but all had the same goal to find self-realization. This I could always sense on a deeper level.
I think the Tureya foundation has only recently entered the online community. I have written one of my dearest friends at the ashram who told me that the disciples were asking swamiji to put up a website so more people had access to the teaching. I was surprised since the ashram is anything but commercial, but judging by the information I think the website is designed to continue the ashrams main goal which is to share the love and joy of spirituality. Still they are very selective of who can live and study at the ashram, and you are only welcome upon invitation. They are strictly against “drop-ins.”
Anyways I am really grateful for what the ashram has provided in my life, and thought this would be another opportunity to give back to the community by spreading the word and information regarding the ashram. I wanted to post so that others would be able to find the same peace that I have discovered. If you have any questions you may contact me at: jaishakti@cheerful.com but please do not use my email for exploitation of advertising. I am putting it up so people may contact me with any questions."
