The primary purpose of the Ashram is to help seekers advance towards their goal of self-realisation, to facilitate the process of inner purification, to bring aspirants closer to Self-realisation. In an endeavour to fulfil this objective, various spiritual activities such as satsang, bhakti, meditation, and the like are included in the daily activities of the Ashram. These spiritual activities are carried out both, individually and collectively. Besides these, also organised on a regular basis, are other programmes in the form of satsang shibirs, sadhana bhattis, mahotsavs, etc.

Sadhana Bhattis
These are uniquely designed meditation retreats, for initiating aspirants into meditation. Each sadhana bhatti is generally a Three day programme, held once a month, wherein the seeker slips into silence, and is guided on an inward journey through meditation, chanting and pravachans (discourses). It serves as a stupendous gateway for an aspirant's entry into the inner world.

Worldly programmes can, no doubt, seem outwardly captivating; but they fail to impart the feeling of peace
and satisfaction. They make tall promises, but fail to deliver. On the other hand, such spiritual programmes are a
guaranteed source of elevation and enlightenment, leading to everlasting peace and happiness.
