We are very excited to share this initiative to create this sacred place of yogic practice in the nature.
In 2009 Advaitavidya was born in Barcelona, a community dedicated to the practice and sharing the deep sense of yoga, in which Swami Satyananda Saraswati, a renowned Hindu teacher in our country, teaches in the traditional way the foundations of vedanta, yoga and meditation practices as the path of inner transformation and self-knowledge.
Around Swamiji, a community that practices and lives according to the principles of this ancient tradition has been formed, which is open to anyone who wants to know and deepen this path. In the last six years the community has been established in L'Ametlla del Vallés, near Barcelona, where an ashram has been created, a place of intense spiritual practice.
Life in the ashram consists of daily meditation practice, hatha yoga, study, recitation, mantras singing, karma yoga (disinterested service) and a simple life of contemplation and silence.
This year Advaitavidya has decided to take a further step and to move his ashram to nature, a seclusion and contemplation place where we can live in a self-sustainable way in harmony with the natural environment and the nearby population.
It is located in northwest of Zamora, in the Aliste region, one of the most depopulated areas of the Iberian Peninsula. It is near a village of thirty inhabitants, situated in an extraordinary rural environment of silence, very appropriate for introspection and study.
It has acquired a land with several buildings:
On the other hand, the community is based on sustainability and nature, so it will be supplied by renewable energies and a large eco vegetable garden, so that it can live in a simple way in harmony with the environment. It also looks for interaction and cooperation with the population and surrounding projects, in order to regain the area's economic activity.
We need to get the necessary funding in order to launch the ashram with the following work to do:
We invite you to participate in this project. All of us can make this space of light and self-knowledge a reality!
From this place in the province of Zamora, which is in a great depopulation process, we intend to contribute to the area's repopulation and to collaborate in its economic dynamisation by creating new jobs, making the area known to people interested in a yogic and contemplation life.
For over 13 years, we have been supporting this project of dissemination and practice of this conscious way of live through the organisation of seminars, talks and retirements about self-knowledge; receiving donations and the disinterested work of many people who support us. We are endorsed by hundreds of in-person and online activities and a professional team that is very committed to life values based on simplicity, respect and desire to cooperate to make this world a fairer and more harmonious place to live for all beings.
We are a non-profit organization with the aim of offering this site and its activities to all interested people and allocating all revenues generated for its maintenance.
We own the place since March 2022 and we have rehabilitated the main building:
July 15 to September 15
Space isolation and remodeling
Closing and isolating roof
Beam varnish
Levelling and isolating the floor with cork
Change of doors and windows for other insulators and efficient

(September 15 to 30)
The chosen place has got all the appropriate characteristics to develop a community based on yoga foundations and intense practice and study.
All people who want to know and deepen the traditional yoga path are invited to this unique place of teaching with a traditional teacher, meditation practice, recitation, singing, hatha yoga, contemplation and study.
In addition, we will organize the large library, with over 15,000 volumes, bringing all this wisdom to scholars, who will find unique books on this primordial yoga tradition.
Advaitavidya (advaitavidya.org) is a Hindu community with the guidance and the teaching of Swami Satyananda Saraswati.
Since its foundation, more than thirteen years ago, it has offered a large number of activities: talks, seminars, workshops and retirements, in-person and online, so that the teaching can reach everyone. It has also created a Hindu-themed publisher, called Advaitavidya Editions, and a public-access video-teaching channel, Advaitavidya Videos, among many other initiatives.
Over the past six years, in Kailas Ashram near Barcelona, a community of people living in this way has been created, which has helped to keep this yoga tradition alive.
Swami Satyananda Saraswati is a Hindu monk and teacher. He was initiated as a monk in 1980 and his teacher encouraged him to create and coordinate several ashrams (spiritual practice sites) in Europe. He has lived in India for over 30 years dedicated to study and contemplation. Encouraged by his devotees wishing to receive his direct guidance on the spiritual path, he returned to Spain in 2009. Since then, he regularly and directly shares his deep knowledge of Hindu tradition, yoga philosophy, advaita-vedanta and Shivaism of Kashmir, from his own experience and how it has been traditionally transmitted since millennia: from teacher to disciple.
The current community has got a team of more than 40 people who collaborate and have experience in various areas related to support the project: architects, engineers, electrician, carpenter, gardener, beekeeper, teachers, forestry agent, manager, cultural manager, historians, journalists, lawyers, therapists, yoga teachers... and a group of people with extensive experience in maintaining such a center.
In addition, there is a team of more than 70 people around the world who support and assist with the management and development of activities.
• It was three months of hard work that filled us with joy and good moments. From this experience, we continue with the second phase, when we need your cooperation in order to finish the whole building refurbishment! Most of the work will be done by ourselves with the help of expert friends who advise us and come to give us a hand when it moves away from our area of expertise. On other occasions, we contract professionals in the area such as Alberto, neighbor and boiler installer; as Luís, who has offered us wonderful tailor-made windows; Alejandro, who will install solar panela; Lito, who will help us with the construction, etc. All of them have shown us that they value and support this project as one of us!
Advaitavidya is a non-profit entity that spreads and preserves yoga traditional teaching and meditation path according to Hinduism. To disseminate this source of self-knowledge, it monthly organizes open activities, it has got a channel of over 100 teaching videos by Swami Satyananda Saraswati, it has founded its own publisher and it has got a website with readings and resources. It also organizes courses, seminars and retirements for all people interested in deepening this rich tradition and it makes available to scholars its specialized library with over 15,000 volumes.
