Ashram Life Questions

[Guest guest]

Hi Katie,

 

I would suggest you contact the Santa Fe Center and talk to them; I'm sure

they would be happy to answer your questions. The M.A. Center in San Ramon

would also be a good resource and a place where you can get some answers to

these questions. It sounds like everything in your life has come to a close,

especially the job situation, and this is sometimes what happens prior to a new

beginning. Sounds like Amma has a plan for you, dear sister! Gather

information, pray for guidance and see what comes of it all! Good Luck in your

search!

 

In Love,

Sanatani

I have played with the idea of living in a "monestary" since I was about 13

or 14 years old, before I was called to any one religion. The thought keeps

popping back up with more frequency as of late, and my family is supportive of

any choice I make for my life...but before I make the decision to try to get

into one of Amma's ashrams, hopefully as a Bramacharini, I have some

questions on the daily life and how one goes about moving to an Ashram.

 

What sort of tasks are you appointed for Seva? What is the daily schedule

like? What are you allowed to bring with you? What are you required to bring

with you? Is it even possible to move to one, given space and such? What sort of

application process is there?

 

I've considered Amritapuri, though my mum would prefer if I lived "closer to

home" for the time being, so I've also been looking at the ones in the US,

particularly New Mexico (I live in Colorado). Any information from anyone would

be greatly appreciated. Jai maa!
