Vasanta Vihar, headquarters of the Krishnamurti Foundation India, exists for the sole purpose of enabling people to stay here to study Krishnamurti’s Teachings by using the library (The Study) for reading, watching videos, or taking part in serious dialogues with those on the campus.
Therefore, we expect guests not to use this place for engaging in other activities such as official/personal work , sight-seeing & shopping, yoga & meditation classes, lectures & seminars, music concerts & cultural events, family & social get-togethers. This is not a resort, but a place for retreat.
Your presence on the campus, and punctuality for all meals, are expected (going out can be only in the evening between 4:30 and 7:00).
Mobile phones and other devices should not be used in The Study, Retreat venues, Dining Hall, and other common areas. You may use them only in your room, and that too only for essential work such as booking tickets or taxis.
Accommodation is given here only for enabling guests to study Krishnamurti’s teachings, and this purpose cannot be served if your stay is very brief. Hence our regulation that guests stay here for at least three nights and not use the place as a transit point for other destinations.
Dress modestly. Clothes such as shorts, mini-skirts or any revealing clothing outside your room are considered inappropriate.
Non-vegetarian food, cigarettes, and alcohol are not permitted.
Safeguard your passport, money and other valuables, and lock your room during your absence.
Switch off lights, fans, and water heaters when not using them.
Single/Double non-AC rooms with attached bath are provided.
You are requested to bring your own towel and soap.
