Alandi Ashram, Alandi Ayurveda Gurukula and the Alandi Ayurveda Clinic are nestled up against the foothills in beautiful Boulder, Colorado. Founded in 1990 by Alakananda Ma and Sadanandaji, Alandi Ashram is inspired by the saints of Alandi, Sant Jnaneshvar and Raghudas Maharaj, Alandi Ashram manifests their core teachings of oneness, simplicity, love and connectedness. In our "home school," we combine the best of new paradigm medical education with the best of the ancient gurukula contemplative pedagogy. Our apprentices, attending on a donation basis, acquire the knowledge and tools needed to administer Ayurvedic healing techniques. "We focus on graduating a few excellent and compassionate healers who are able to connect to their patients on a deeper level," says our spiritual teacher, Alakananda Ma (www.alandiashram.org/alakananda). "We provide truly holistic support to our student's development. This means rigorous intellectual and clinical training, as well as a deep immersion in the spiritual and Vedic context of Ayurveda."
