About Apno Ki Kutiya Ashram
Yogi Ravikant Ji is also the founder of Apno Ki Kutia, a unique spiritual ashram created for sincere spiritual aspirants and truth seekers. This ashram is one of its kind in the world. It is perhaps the world’s very first ashram where genuine truth seekers are invited to live without any obligation—from seven days to an entire lifetime—simply for the purpose of spiritual growth and work towards liberation.
In most places, spiritual learning is limited by conditions, time, or obligations. But at Apno Ki Kutia, a sincere seeker who truly wants to grow spiritually is welcomed to live, learn, and transform themselves under disciplined spiritual principles. The ashram provides a peaceful environment and most importantly the direct guidance from a living Enlightened Master with all the basic facilities needed for a seeker to focus on inner growth and self-development.
However, the ashram is not a place for comfort or passive living. It is a place for sincere transformation. Those who genuinely wish to learn and progress are welcomed, but those who remain stagnant or unwilling to grow spiritually cannot remain there. Yogi Ravikant Ji expresses this clearly through a guiding principle of the ashram:
“रहो तो साधो.”
This means that if you choose to live in the ashram, you must actively work on your spiritual progress. If there is stagnation and no sincere effort toward inner growth, then naturally the energy of the ashram will not allow a person to stay.
Apno Ki Kutia exists as a peaceful place for those who truly seek truth and spiritual growth. It is a rare opportunity where seekers can learn directly from an enlightened teacher and live in an environment dedicated to truth, honesty, ethical living, and selfless service.
For those who genuinely wish to transform their lives and grow spiritually, the opportunity exists—a living master, a peaceful place, and timeless teachings are available. One only needs sincerity to take advantage of it.
