In a beautiful natural setting at the foothills of the Western Ghats and in view of the Aliyar reservoir, the Temple of Consciousness is the focus for a silent revolution, transforming the lives of thousands of people, irrespective of creed, color, race, religion or nationality.

Every individual is essentially divine and the greatest fulfilment one can attain is to realize it. This realization need not involve cutting oneself off from family, career and enjoyment of life’s pleasures. To reach this wonderful state, the realization of self or the realization of the Almighty Unified force, one does not need to have degrees or scholarship or a high position in life. All that is needed is the Will to transform one's personality through streamlining one's body, mind and spirit through a systematic practice. The Ashram provides such a system evolved by Shri Vethathiri Maharishi, now a 94 year-old Saint and one of the greatest thinkers of the century. His teachings and methods are at once simple and effective, practical and scientific, based on ancient wisdom and yet perfectly suiting the modern way of living as nothing is based on superstitions or involving unnecessary rituals.
