Swar-Sadhana Tapovan - Sacred Learning Retreat

About Swar-Sadhana Tapovan

Welcome to Swar-Sadhana Tapovan, a sacred sanctuary under the aegis of Sharang Dev School. Our Gurukul is a testament to the ancient Indian tradition of holistic learning, where knowledge flows as naturally as the morning breeze through our mango orchards.

True to gurukul principles, we believe knowledge is sacred and should flow freely. Education is completely FREE - participants only cover their comfortable accommodation and nourishing vegetarian meals.

Set against the backdrop of rolling hills and blessed by the divine presence of Shiva and Saraswati, our retreat center offers a unique blend of spiritual wisdom and natural beauty. Here, seekers from all walks of life come to discover their inner potential and connect with the timeless teachings of our heritage.

Our 60-feet mandapam serves as an open-air classroom where ancient wisdom meets modern insights, creating an atmosphere of learning that transcends conventional boundaries. Every element of our space is designed to inspire, heal, and transform.

Founded by Dr. Sangeeta Shankar, this is the Gurukul of the famed violin virtuoso, Padmabhushan Dr.N.Rajam.
