Volunteer at Adiyogi: The Abode of Yoga
Experience the Vibrant Ambiance of Adiyogi: The Abode of Yoga for 7 Days.
Abode Seva is an opportunity to take a leap in your growth—spending seven consecutive days in the transformative energies of the Abode. Each new Abode Sadhaka is guided by an experienced volunteer. Abode Sadhakas greet, inform and guide new visitors; host offerings at the Abode, and care for this powerful space while being immersed in Adiyogi’s Grace for 6-8 hours per day.
Seva activities also include the privilege of conducting Guru Pooja and coordinating Arati in the Abode, as well as participating in the evening ‘snanam’, or cleansing of the consecrated form.
Completion of Inner Engineering with Shambhavi Kriya and an advanced program, either Bhava Spandana or Shoonya Program, are prerequisites to participate. For more details and registration, apply online: Abode Seva Application Form (Please allow 7-10 days processing time. Do not book travel until confirmation is received.)

Experiences of Abode Seva
Now, every word and phrase seems to come automatically from my heart. I'm grateful to Sadhguru for creating such a magical place, and I bow down to everyone involved. I look forward to participating in Abode Seva again.
I can't begin to explain the calmness I feel within me. The guidance of other sadhakas made my experience even more loving– in every way they nurtured me and guided me through guru pooja and abode seva. My chest feels as if it will explode with love and gratitude. How to explain what it really is I don't know, but I feel as if I'm floating. My mind is so clear and empty. My smile is broader. I'm in love with this life process after this experience.
For the first time in my life, I could experience an immense sense of calm and balance within me during Abode Seva. I am able to notice this with eyes closed, and more surprisingly, with eyes open also! This seems to have brought forth quite a few changes in me. I notice that I walk differently now, my gait and pace has changed. The way I breathe has changed. I hope to see more unfold with time. Extremely grateful to Sadhguru and everyone involved for giving me the opportunity to have a blissful time through Abode Seva!
It was an absolute privilege to be able to offer myself for this opportunity. Every task no matter what it was, was just a yes and yes, and there was complete joy in doing it. It also made everything else I was doing that much sweeter. Will definitely want to come back and do it many more times!
Being in the Abode for the week of Seva was truly an amazing experience. I started to feel “myself” slip away and become one. I’ve noticed I’ve slowed down, pay more attention to my actions and the mind is less active. Also aware of the likes and dislikes and letting them go.
Abode Seva brought me intimately close with the creator and creation – To care for a space so powerful that changes so many lives is a tremendous privilege and I am so grateful for the experience.
I normally feel like I’m very stubborn on this path and it’s frustrating cause it’s tough for me to stay receptive …I often feel helplessly sunken into my own resistance. However, being in the Abode and His grace along with the consistent focus of the activity, it became very natural to leave my resistances behind and overcome myself.
Abode Seva was transformational in all aspects. It felt like Bhava Spandana, Shoonya and Inner Engineering all at the same time… In the sacredness of the Abode, deep layers of memories surfaced. I found myself in a turmoil of emotions – but at the same time complete stillness of the mind… Seva was like ‘polishing’ the very core of my existence…My profound gratitude for this life-transforming opportunity.
Abode Seva was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve had with Isha. It was such a privilege to be able to spend so much time in the Abode and help with the water offering. Cleaning the vessels, doing the sambrani, daily Lingam cleaning, everything was such a humbling experience. I especially appreciated the volunteers guiding us through the Linga Snanam and letting us do the process. Thanks for a wonderful experience.
Abode Seva was the best week of my life... Unbelievable, incredible opportunity. I feel blessed beyond any measure. Life changing, deep experience.
I love Abode Seva! What a privilege to be immersed in this mysteriously energized space every day for a week, welcoming others and sharing the silence and joy available here…:)
These seven days of seva have truly been a blessing to me. Being in such a powerful space for long periods of time has changed me in many subtle ways. During the week, my willingness to put myself aside was a welcomed challenge. My food intake and sleep were much less compared to my usual routine, despite that, I felt more and more energetic and alert as the days progressed. Even my practices saw an improvement. One of the best things is to be amongst fellow meditators visiting the Abode who are so deep in their meditation, which energized the space even more. Thank you for the opportunity to serve.
Something wonderful happens during this process, I don't completely understand it. I experienced a deeper sense of inclusiveness and freedom–It felt like cracking a limitation. It was an experience that transformed me in subtle ways and with Guru's grace and blessing I will be able to sustain this experience and continue to go beyond.
Helping with water offerings, assisting guests, and just contributing to maintaining the atmosphere there was very fulfilling. I am very glad to have been involved with this, and I am looking forward to my next opportunity for Abode Seva.
Abode Seva was both a grounding and magical experience. Being able to spend every day immersed in the energies of the Abode was truly a gift. All aspects of the Seva experience was an honour and the volunteers were kind, generous and patient. Looking forward to being a part of the Seva team again soon.
Being in the consecrated space was such a blessing, my experience was so much deeper than any other volunteering. The energy levels were so high that I was not able to sleep at night, yet I was still alert and awake during the day and did not feel tired. It was so wonderful volunteering with all the other sadhakas, and everyone was very kind and supportive.
The way the Seva happened just made me realize how effortlessly grace is always there. …By the end of the Linga snanam tears were simply flowing–just realizing how effortlessly his grace is always there but sometimes takes too much for me to simply be receptive. I wish everyone who comes to the Abode experiences those effortless tears of Grace.
Abode Seva was one of a kind - being with the Adiyogi for 7 days, and offering the spiritual seed for so many seekers is such a blessing! It was the most intensive seva I’ve ever experienced at III–deeply fulfilling and wholesome!
This was a very sweet experience. There were times where there were tears from the sweet intensity of seva. There were times of deep love. I feel very lucky to do Abode Seva and see others receive Adiyogi’s grace. I felt at ease, even though the body may have been tired… I am forever grateful!
This one week at III for the seva has been immense and invaluable for me. The change it brings in me is difficult to articulate since I do not quite understand it fully except for the positive change in my experience of life, but it is a significant transformation for sure.
The smiles from the guests when they realize that they are being sincerely cared for will never leave me.
This is the best thing that has happened to me so far in my life. I enjoyed the silence and got all my questions answered. Felt very rejuvenated. Looking forward to volunteer again.
