What our visitors say
Amazing community and the delicious food ever! : )
The river is beautiful and the new hostel is super cosy!
I want to go back!
Amazing place surrounded by nature. I love to spend time by the river and swim in a clear water with fish, walk in the vegetables garden and join the events.
This place has my heart. The vibration here is blissful and the people are amazing. I was here for 23 straight days at 2019 following a couple of programs and my life changed for the better. What people are trying to accomplish here following a spiritual lifestyle and at the same time enriching others is a very beutiful ideal.
Ananda kalyani is a place for breathing and socialising. Breathing in the sense being in the now, letting go of everything which is not in the now. And socialising in the sense of there are beautiful heartfull people around. Beautiful spiritual practices, a river which is so refreshing and beautiful.
1st Bouquet – Our First Community Kiirtan EP
We are delighted to share with you “1st Bouquet,” the first kiirtan EP created by members of the Ananda Kalyani community. This collection of devotional chants is a heartfelt expression of our collective practice—born from shared spaces of silence, singing, and surrender. Each track carries the essence of our community spirit, where the mantra Baba Nam Kevalam becomes a living vibration connecting us to something greater.
Recorded right here in our beautiful valley, 1st Bouquet is an invitation to listen, to feel, and to join us—wherever you are—in the flow of love and devotion.
