Sacred Evolution

Discover the Serenity of Shiva Jyoti Gufa

Nestled atop Manikoot Mountain, overlooking the majestic Ganges River, lies the sacred Shiva Jyoti Gufa. This serene cave is a haven for seekers of silence, spiritual connection, and inner awakening. The cave's tranquil atmosphere, adorned with a Shivlinga and gentle aromas of burning oil lamps and incense sticks, creates an ideal sanctuary for peaceful meditation.

Meditation in the sacred crystal cave
"Where sacred rivers meet eternal mountains,
the deepest mysteries reveal themselves
to those open to receive"

Nine Years of Sadhana

After nine years of intense Sadhana and building a self-sustainable yoga community ashram on Manikoot Mountain, everything changed in 2019 at Rishikesh Yogashram when the foundation was complete and ready for deeper calling.

🕉️

Divine Vision

Yogi Amitram received a vivid dream and vision guiding him exactly where to look for an ancient sacred Shiva cave hidden right within the ashram property. Following this divine guidance with unwavering faith.

💎

Sacred Discovery

He discovered what seemed impossible to believe: a pristine 47-foot crystal cave, adorned with magnificent apophyllite crystal formations, now open to seekers, yoga teachers, meditation groups, and yoga practitioners.
