Kimaya Ashram
Kimaya Ashram
Nestled in the calm mountains and greenery of Mulshi, Kimaya Ashram welcomes you to a place where you can feel at home and find peace within. Our ashram traces its origin to Maharishi Vashisht, one of the revered Saptarishis and Guru of Prabhu Ram. Carrying forward this sacred lineage, Param Pujya Swami Krishna Chaitanya Ji is the 1337th overlord after Vashisht. In Pune, Swamiji envisioned the ashram as a space where the timeless wisdom of the Shaivic tradition meets the needs of modern life.
Here, seekers arrive not to escape the world, but to discover a deeper connection with themselves. The rhythm of the ashram is simple yet profound — mornings often begin with meditation that clears the mind, followed by yoga that restores balance and vitality. In the stillness of the afternoons, spiritual discourses offer guidance, while the evenings invite reflection in the calm embrace of nature.
Spread across acres of lush greenery, Kimaya Ashram feels less like a destination and more like a place you’ve always belonged. The whisper of leaves, the vastness of the sky, and the gentle quiet invite you to pause, breathe, and remember the stillness within. Away from the noise of daily life, the ashram feels like home — a peaceful space where your heart can rest and rediscover its joy.
Whether you stay for a few days or long, Ashram welcomes you not as a visitor but as family.

Devotion goes beyond the mind and senses. It opens the heart to see God in all, and all in God — a love without limits, eternal and pure. The Bhaktisthal has been created for this very purpose: a place where sadhaks can immerse themselves in devotion, sing, dance, and feel the presence of Lord Hanuman. Consecrated by Swamiji after three months of intense dhyana, this space allows seekers to experience bhakti naturally and with ease. Here, there are spacious 'Ananda Kutirs'(meditation spaces) built in natural laterite stone for sadhaks who want to practice their sadhana for long period. Come to the ashram, sit in peace, and let your heart connect with the Divine.
Anantlok is created for seekers and sadhaks whose path is Saakshi/Dhyana. After intense dhyana, Swamiji invoked Vasuki, the serpent on Shiva’s neck, as the presiding deity of this sacred space. Meditators can naturally feel his presence when they enter a meditative state.Twelve Dhyan Kutirs have been constructed for focused practice, where Bhagwan Vasuki guides the sadhak in completing his journey uptil the Vishuddhi Chakra.Around Vasuki temple, 64 trees have been planted, each housing a Yogini who subtly assists the meditator whenever obstacles arise in dhyana.This place is calming in its own way. The mystical experience of Anantlok transcends words — it is something one must feel personally.
The ashram has always been home to happy cows and calves, who are looked after with love and care.They are fed wholesome, highly nutritious food grown in our own organic farm, ensuring their health and well-being. For the little ones visiting the ashram, spending time with these gentle beings is often the highlight of their day — feeding them, playing around them, or simply watching them brings immense joy. But to us, they are far more than just cows. They have become an inseparable part of the ashram family!
Sometimes in life, we meet someone whose presence brings a significant change within us. Swami Krishna Chaitanya is such a guide — he shows that divinity is not outside, but within ourselves.Swamiji reflects a rare combination: A scientist who has worked with ISRO, DRDO, BARC, and the Ministry of Defence, and someone who attained self-realization at the age of 18. He uniquely integrates science and spirituality. He has his own unique way of explaining timeless ancient spiritual concepts in so simple and practical way that anyone can understand, regardless of their beliefs. Warm and approachable, he helps people discover inner peace and clarity through his guidance.Swamiji’s message is simple: We don’t need to leave the world to realize ourselves. Life itself can be a path of meditation, devotion, and service, helping us grow while supporting others.Swamiji is also involved in social causes, working for education, health, and support for those in need.
