Sandipani Ashram in Ujjain is one of the most revered and historically significant spiritual sites in India.

It is the only place in India where the childhood learning of Lord Krishna is associated with a real and identifiable location, making it deeply important for devotees and spiritual seekers.
Located near the tranquil banks of the Shipra River, Sandipani Ashram offers a peaceful environment that reflects the essence of ancient Indian education—discipline, knowledge, devotion, and humility. The serene surroundings, coupled with Vedic chanting and traditional teachings, make this ashram a perfect destination for those seeking inner peace and spiritual understanding.

Whether you are a devotee, a student of spirituality, or a traveler exploring India’s sacred history, Sandipani Ashram offers an enriching and divine experience that stays with you long after your visit.
The history of Sandipani Ashram is traced to the ancient era of the Mahabharata. It is believed that Guru Sandipani trained Lord Krishna, Balram, and Sudama here in all branches of knowledge—scriptures, warfare, mathematics, meditation, and moral values. The ashram is also associated with several legends, including Krishna bringing back Sandipani’s lost son as Guru Dakshina. Various rulers and saints helped preserve this sacred site, maintaining its legacy as one of India’s oldest centers of learning. Today, the ashram stands as a living symbol of Vedic education and divine tradition.
The architecture of Sandipani Ashram reflects simplicity, tradition, and spiritual purity. The main gurukul area is designed in ancient hermitage style, featuring open courtyards, prayer halls, and meditation spaces. The premises include beautifully carved stone structures, calm walkways, and sacred shrines dedicated to Guru Sandipani and Lord Krishna. The ashram also has a Gau Shala, well-maintained gardens, and a Yagya Shala where Vedic rituals are performed.
