Daily life, shared
Darshan with Mohanji, sessions of silence beneath the Audumbar tree, the weekly talks, and the aaratis and abhishekam performed three times a day - you are warmly welcome to join.
Mohanji's Darshan
When at Mohanji Datta Tapovan, Mohanji has graciously agreed to spend an hour every evening at the Lord Dattatreya statue, for anyone who would like His darshan - a divine blessing for those who long for a sacred connection, and a space of silence, stillness and presence.
His presence elevates the ashram's energy, making it palpable and saturated - a sacred, high-frequency space for deep inner silence, rejuvenation and stillness, and a catalyst for inner transformation, allowing visitors to experience Mohanji's grace and that of the Datta tradition.
Silence is not something to search for. Silence is already there. One simply has to stop connecting to the noise.- Mohanji
Silence with Mohanji
When at the ashram, Mohanji conducts the Silence with Mohanji sessions under the Audumbar tree, at Lord Dattatreya's feet. In His presence, something shifts without effort - emotions release, the body settles, old patterns loosen, and courage returns. In stillness, one receives answers to unanswered questions.
Mohanji Weekly Talks
Visitors to Mohanji Datta Tapovan are welcome to attend the Mohanji Weekly Talks: Making Masters sessions free of charge. This is a live satsang with Mohanji each week, where people bring what they carry, ask what matters to them, and leave with greater clarity about themselves, their lives and the situations they live through.
Daily Aaratis
Aarati - waving a lamp around the Master accompanied by devotional singing - expands the deity's or Master's energy in the space, purifying, rejuvenating and protecting it and those who perform it. It is an expression of gratitude that lets grace flow, dispels ignorance, and strengthens one's connection.
We perform aarati under the Audumbar tree to Lord Dattatreya and Mohanji three times a day - 6:00am, 12:00pm and 6:00pm. You are welcome to join us, including in plucking flowers and decorating Lord Dattatreya.
Shiva Lingam Abhishekam
We perform the devotional bathing of the Shiva Lingam with water and flowers daily, accompanied by chants of the om namaha shivaaya mantra. You are welcome to join - typically performed immediately after each aarati, at 6:00am, 12:00pm and 6:00pm.
A simple yet powerful ritual, the abhishekam purifies the mind, fosters mental clarity, diminishes the ego, and invites spiritual and material blessings.
