Stay on Campus    Take a Retreat   The Study    The Bookstore

Vasanta Vihar, part of Krishnamurti Trust Madras (headquarters of the Krishnamurti Foundation India), exists for the sole purpose of enabling people to stay here to study Krishnamurti’s Teachings by using the library (The Study), or taking part in retreats and dialogues, or engaging in informal conversations or quiet reflection.

Therefore, we expect guests not to use this place for engaging in other activities such as

Official/personal work                        Work From Home
Sight-seeing & shopping                     Yoga & meditation classes
Lectures & seminars                            Music concerts & cultural events
Family & social get-togethers.

Your presence on the campus, and punctuality for all meals, are expected (going out can be only in the evening between 4.30 and 7).

Mobile phones and other devices should not be used in The Study, Retreat venues, Dining Hall, and other common areas. You may use them only in your room, and that too only for essential work such as booking tickets or taxis.

Accommodation is given here only for enabling guests to study Krishnamurti’s teachings, and this purpose cannot be served if your stay is very brief. Hence our regulation that guests stay here for at least three nights and not use the place as a transit point for other destinations. They can extend their stay if they wish to. Those who are flying in from other countries and may therefore suffer from jet-lag are expected to spend at least five nights here to make their stay meaningful.
