I visited for a 3 day personal silent retreat. I stayed in the cedar room. It was my first significant exposure to Jainism and my first silent retreat experience. I cannot say enough positive about Siddhayatan and the people there. The accommodations were exactly as promise, clean simple and comfortable. The food was wonderful served exactly on schedule. The grounds are lovely and available for you to roam. Whatever inner purpose can be sought here. I felt such a strong non judgmental spirit there from everyone I encountered. I hope I return here soon.

What an experience?! Silent 2 day retreat- transformational! Clean! Great volunteers and nuns. A must come back place - serene with home cooked meals included - they have their cows, fresh butter, paneer etc.. Loved it all. Looking to go back with husband in a couple of months and possibly kids too later. Would love to do a workshop soon too. Blessings.

I did a 3 day silent retreat and it was one of the most peaceful experiences I've had. The grounds are beautiful and there are trails and lakes that enhance the experience. I went here for peace and stillness and that's exactly what I received. The monks and staff were very welcoming and the food was delicious. I was able to make this experience my own without any pressure to do or try anything. Thank you Acharya Shree Yogeesh for establishing such a beautiful, peaceful site. I look forward to returning again next year.

I had a fabulous time here this weekend. I went for a silent meditation retreat, not knowing what to expect. What I found was a beautiful, peaceful, clean space where I could do my own thing without anyone bothering me. The lodgings are NOT fancy, but they're impeccably clean and very comfortable. The bed was small but soft, with plenty of blankets, and the bathroom and shower were extremely clean and had hot water any time I needed it. The food was tasty and simple, and enough if you're not planning on doing anything strenuous. Next time I go back I'll bring some snacks in case I walk the grounds too much and get hungry between meals. I was not there to attend any classes, so I can't comment on those, but the folks running the place were extremely kind when I spoke to them, helpful when I needed them, and otherwise let me be--exactly what I wanted. There are rules to follow--like take your shoes off when you enter a building, and be respectful to the other guests. At no time did anyone make me feel like I had to follow a certain religious doctrine or philosophy. All you have to do there is be nice and take your shoes off. All in all, can't recommend it enough. I'll definitely be back.
