Centre for exploring consciousness

To understand oneself and one’s relation with life seems to be an inborn instinct in human consciousness. All traditions, spiritual practices, and religions, at core, are a response to this innate force. Sri M, in his multi-faceted approach to spirituality, has envisioned a space for Swadhyaya or self-study — where people come to reflect and introspect. The Sacred Grove is located in Chowdepalle, Andhra Pradesh, approximately a 3-hour drive from Bengaluru or Tirupati airport.

  • Self-Retreat with Sri M's Teachings

'Swa' means self; 'Swadhyaya' means self-study, plus study of the Self. It is ‘Swadhyaya’ and ‘Swa-adhyaya’ both.
