Welcome to the Rajahmundry Retreat of Yogoda Satsanga Society of India (YSS). This peaceful retreat is nestled along the banks of the sacred Godavari River, often revered as the Dakshin Ganga, and is surrounded by lush greenery and tranquil surroundings, located in close proximity to the Cotton Barrage. The Sadhanalaya was inaugurated and made available to devotees in 2024 on the auspicious day of Janmashtami.







Serene Environment
Spread across around 1.3 acres, the retreat grounds feature abundant mango trees and towering, lush greenery, creating a serene and refreshing environment highly conducive for meditation and silent communion with God. Set amidst farming land and nurseries, its tranquil location, away from bustling activity, further enhances the peaceful atmosphere. The retreat’s location also offers a very good opportunity for silent walks along the sacred Godavari River banks.
Retreat Facilities
On the premises are a spacious meditation hall with excellent audio-visual facilities, individual meditation kutirs, and a beautiful temple dedicated to Lord Krishna. Residential facilities for retreatants include a guest accommodation building and three individual kutirs. Other amenities include a kitchen and an administrative block housing the office, book sales, and library.
