Shankar Prasad Foundation was set up to create a Yogic Culture with Ashram Lifestyle & Spiritual Community from this beautiful heritage house on 2 ½ acres of coconut grove and rice paddy field and to preserve the heritage of the local area as well as to ‘give back’ to the local people, for our own spiritual growth, thru seva (voluntary work to help others). You can come for weekend retreats to learn Yoga Meditation and bring your family so that they can enjoy being close to nature (organic farming/gardening) and to the elements of nature: sun, sea, sky, earth and space (your own and quiet). While you attend, say a Yoga Meditation Course, your kids can play and your partner can read and relax and they can visit the local temple town, an ancient Shiva Pilgrimage heritage town, join in the festivities. Enjoy swimming in the ocean, surfing, explore the natural unspoilt beaches at and near Om Beach and nearby trekking, cycling, boating and exploring the local environment and culture, do or learn pottery and/or painting with local artisans, so many interesting things to do here. We practice sustainable living (learn how to live simply), agriculture (organic and eco friendly) and housing. We aim for 100% self generated power. eg, solar, wind, cow dung(gobur), Bengal boiler water heating, solar lights and chargers. You can come and stay at Shankar Prasad for your own Sadhana or you can come to learn Yoga & Meditation from the tradition of Satyananda Bihar Yoga from Swami Yogaratna Saraswati
