All the events will take place in person except the Saturday morning and Sunday evening programs, which will be livestreamed.
We cordially invite you to join us at Satchidananda Ashram—Yogaville to celebrate LOTUS Renewal: Glory to the Light, Friday, August 29-Sunday, August 31, 2025. The LOTUS renovation is complete, and the shrine looks beautiful, welcoming all to the inner peace permeating its sacred space.
Our beloved Sri Santalinga Maruthachala Adigalar, born in 1961, comes to us from Perur, a town close to Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India. He is the spiritual head of the Perur Ashram in Perur, South India and he is also the head of the Arulmigu Dhakshinamoorthy Ashram in Ooty Hill Station, Tamil Nadu. Swami Marutachalam’s guru, Sri Santalinga Ramaswamy Adigalar, was a lifelong friend of Sri Swami Satchidananda. Swami Maruthachalam first came to the United States to perform the Mahasamadhi ceremonies for Sri Gurudev and has been back several times, winning the hearts of all he meets through his pure radiant spirit and dedication to Saiva Siddhanta. To this day, Swamiji maintains a close relationship with Yogaville and will be offering the ceremonies for the rededication of the LOTUS shrine.
