A visit to any Udasin Panchayati Naya Akhara temple or ashram is a journey into spiritual simplicity, sacred silence, and timeless wisdom. Open to all seekers regardless of background, the Akhara’s ashrams and temples welcome visitors throughout the year, offering opportunities for prayer, reflection, learning, and selfless service.
The Visiting Hours at most Udasin temples and ashrams are designed to align with the daily schedule of spiritual activities, allowing visitors to participate in the vibrant spiritual routine of the Akhara:
- Morning Hours: 4:30 AM – 12:00 PM
- Evening Hours: 4:00 PM – 8:30 PM
- Closed to public during mid-day rest and internal ashram routines
Visitors are especially encouraged to attend the Mangala Aarti (early morning ritual) and Sandhya Aarti (evening ritual), which are central parts of the daily rhythm. These aartis are accompanied by devotional bhajans, conch blowing, and sacred chants, creating a deeply uplifting atmosphere.
The ashrams also offer a variety of spiritual services and activities, including:
- Darshan of resident saints and gurus (subject to availability)
- Group meditation sessions in early morning and evening
- Free Vedic discourses and satsangs conducted regularly
- Mantra japa and guided prayer sessions
- Annadaan (free meal offerings) for all visitors during lunch hours
- Participation in yajnas (fire ceremonies) on special days
- Spiritual consultations for seekers by appointment
Visitors are encouraged to dress modestly, maintain silence in sacred areas, and participate in the seva activities of the ashram—such as temple cleaning, assisting in kitchens, or helping fellow pilgrims—thus embodying the spirit of karma yoga taught in the Udasin tradition.
Ashrams also have guest facilities available at select locations, especially at major pilgrimage centers such as Haridwar, Prayagraj, and Varanasi. Simple rooms, clean bedding, and sattvic meals are offered to pilgrims and spiritual aspirants who wish to stay for a few days of retreat, meditation, or study. Prior booking is recommended due to limited availability, especially during festival seasons.
On special occasions like Guru Purnima, Mahashivratri, Navratri, and Kartik Purnima, extended prayer sessions, katha programs, and spiritual discourses are held. Visiting during these times allows one to experience the Akhara in its fullest spiritual expression.
The Akhara is also in the process of digitizing visitor services, allowing devotees to book darshan slots, attend online satsangs, and support annadaan activities via official platforms.
Whether you’re a devoted pilgrim or a curious visitor, the ashrams and temples of Udasin Panchayati Naya Akhara provide an atmosphere of deep peace, sincere devotion, and life-changing inspiration. Every visit is an opportunity to reconnect with the eternal truths of Sanatan Dharma and receive the blessings of a timeless spiritual lineage.
