"Once you start to enjoy your life with mindfulness, you begin to discover yourself. You don't need to arrive anywhere. You are already where you need to be." - Guruji
Welcome to Ashram Mokshadham. Nestled in the nature of the Bavarian Forest, Ashram Mokshadham in Rimbach is a wonderful place to reconnect with yourself. A place full of colours and warmth welcomes you. Experience the Indian feeling of 'coming home' and flow with the wonderful energy. 'Moksha' describes the state of enlightenment, liberation, and letting go. The Ashram is a place where you can find your true Moksha. Arrive and be at one with yourself. Go deeper in meditation. Everyone is welcome at the meeting place to advance on their spiritual journey.
Nestled in idyllic meadows and forests at the foot of the local mountain Hohenbogen, Rimbach is a holiday destination that offers a diverse range of sports, culture, and entertainment. Easily accessible paths with resting places and clearly marked hiking trails invite you to leisurely walks and extensive hiking tours through the beautiful, sometimes untouched nature.
Food plays a significant and important role in our body and mind. The right food can thus positively contribute to the spiritual practice and journey. The meals at the Ashram are purely vegetarian (mostly Indian). Dietary restrictions or allergies can be accommodated with prior notification at the time of booking.
At Kirtan, open your heart and start the retreat with wonderful mantras. The group tunes into the shared time in the Ashram through singing. At Satsang, you can ask questions or simply feel the energy of being. Satsang means "Being together with the truth." In Pranayama, Guruji shows you breathing exercises. Your Prana (translated: life energy) originates from your breath. From this importance of breath, you engage deeply and consciously with it. Embrace the infinite energy within you! In Vipassana, you may spend valuable time with yourself. Completely in silence, without others, without any distractions. Here, you open up to your Buddha nature. In Loveya, the group dedicates itself to the expansiveness of their own body - gentle stretching exercises, asanas, and meditation.
"An Ashram thrives on the presence of the master. Meeting a living master is the ultimate gift for a seeker on their journey. It is the fastest way of transformation to be with a true master."
His disciples call him Guruji, his name is Shri Pankaj Kumar Divedi. A spiritual master who guides seekers with his love, openness, devotion, and humour on their spiritual path. Guruji lives and teaches genuine devotion, unconditional love, and mindful living in the moment. He assists truth-seekers in freeing themselves from all limitations and living their true nature. Guruji does not want to orient himself on any sacred Indian or Western scriptures: "Each master has different techniques. I have my technique. There are more than seven billion people on Earth and just as many paths. Everyone must find their path and discover what they truly want. The sacred scriptures are a good foundation, but eventually, everyone reaches the point where they must go their own way, where they can no longer follow any advisor."
"Spiritual Journey means to fall in Love with yourself." - Guruji
"Spirituality never comes from a religion, from scriptures, or a belief. In reality, it is your true nature, always present. It is like the water source in a well. The water does not come from the outside." - Guruji
No English knowledge is necessary for the retreat. Although Guruji speaks in English, everything is translated into German. It is therefore highly recommended for both German and English speakers.
